The Novastar is primarily a low end machine made in India, I think. Technical Devices is more comparable with other dedicated wave soldering machine manufacturers. I recently got a good deal on a new TD machine with a Titanium Pot and Pump. It was

Kevin, Thanks for the reply! I haven't had a chance to see the Novastar. Now maybe I will save myself the trip. The TD rep is trying to contact someone close by so we can go take a look. I am definetely leaning towards TD because they have worked f

Hi Paul, I have been to the Novastar mfg plant in Penn. and to a demo of the TD Nu Era model also in Penn at Advanced Competitiveness Institute. After seeing both we have decided to go with the TD model. Im not sure where you are located but the regi

Billy- I have some Mydata tools now, they are from another supplier. I am something of a perfectionest and these are not up to the quality standards of the nozzles that we make ourselves, but my supplier does replace his defective parts. If you have

So, if 45� is theoretically optimal for aperture fill, but 60� is better for defining fine pitch bricks, is 52.5� the best compromise for an all around design, or does it not work that way? I see blades with either one angle or the other but with th

"45* is a common angle of attack. Squeegee blades are commonly manufactured at 60*. The combination of the angle of attack and the blade angle results in an actual printing angle between the two due to down pressure and flex of the blade." Ahhhh, so

"We're not sure what you're reading, but the angle thing makes sense, right?" If by "squeegee angle" you mean the angle that the working edge is ground at, yes. If not, then I don't know what you're referring to. My earlier comments were specifica

Hi, I have a 1995 Universal GSM which won't zero its axis, so can't run. It crashed last night after displaying a "swapper.dat" file being full. I have restarted and checked the available space on the hard-drive - it has over 50% freespace. After st

You can try swapping cards 10 and 11 in your "General Purpose I/O Chassis", which is the front center panel of the machine. Make sure you change the jumper configurations before you swap them. If the interlocks start working, but your beacon lights q

*** New related Question*** Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately it is still not working though. I have noticed at the top of the "General Purpose I/O Chassis" that a red LED next to PCB location 0 is permanently on. But this is not on on o
