So, does turning off your glue gun at nite save energy or should you just leave it on? LOL!

Huss, Great conclusion to what I believe to be a record thread (in hits and responses). Some people just have too much time on their hands.

With the added bonus that the glue from the gluegun will form a natural barrier on top of the solderpot which will dramatically reduce dross build up. Shouldnt we get this patented Chunks?

Thank you ChrisW. I agree completely. The decision to idle the temperature or turn the wave off is primarily a function of machine utilization. Period. The utilization % break even point for idle vs. turning the heat off is calculated by comparing th

I am running a board that is .062" thick and has components that over hang the edge of the board by .090". I have bottom side smt components (chip caps and resistors only) and use the turbulent wave to help solder the components. The problem I am h

So, no one is wave soldering 0603 succesfully? Not even teh wavemaster??

Are we not talking about down-time, when the time operators are not there,if, you, "wavemasterlarry" run 3 shifts, you don't need to answer these questions right? or do you, larry, solder yourselve when your colleagues sleep. Only thing I want to s

What purity? To get 99.999% pure you will need dewers of liquid nitrogen or a two stage system. (and a dewer will last about a month and a half even if you don't use it as it outgasses.) But you can get reasonable purity with a wall mounted single s

the temperature difference between solder and room temperature, So if you let the solder cool down, you need less energy then holding it on temperature + heating a bit up. 2. If you let the solder get to solid, you don't have oxidation. 3. If you l
