I agree with cmiller on almost everything except the fluxer. I have not found that to be the slowest part of the process. On a slightly populated board, preheat will be the biggest cycle time killer. On very highly populated boards, time spent at the

PS, sorry for any confusion, ALDSMT and CMILLER are both me. ADLSMT is my user name on SMTNET and CMILLER is me, cmiller@adltech.com I usually use cmiler to reply to stuff as if anybody e-mails me it makes more sense. adltech.com is a work in progr

Hello everyone, I'm out on market for wave soldering machine. I have been using ERSA 330 ETS for three years now, but it is quite old and I would like something newer. I'm considering ERSA N wave 330, yom 2005; and SEHO PowerWave 8440, yom 2010. Wha

PR thankyou for your feedback, your comments are extremely helpful. We have a customer product porfolio of about 900 active products, covering approx 700 different fabs. your comments are absolutely valid with regards to Speed, however in our scena

We have a dual pot machine. The fluxer is not the slowest part of the process on most boards. However, we looked at running boards that had many hundreds of TH leads that we currently run through the wave in order to try not to buy a wave for lead-fr

If you do not have a lot of TH joints there are some advantages. No boards "submarined" in solder pot on wave. You can solder the bottome side SMT parts rather than epoxy them when the parts are put down. This should reduce SMT defects and missing pa

We have 2 dual head Versa-flows in line. We use them mainly for doublesided reflow jobs that have connectors and axial parts. I have about 15 jobs currently running on them. The advantage of having 2, is some of our boards have through hole on 1 side

Frank, ECD (WaveRIDER) and Datapaq (Optimiser) have wave solder machine process control devices. They will check the following: 1. Conveyor speed 2. Preheat Temps 3. Solder Temps 4. Wave Dwell/Contact Times 5. Wave Heights 6. Waves Parallelism Go

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan

Manage the speed of the board and the speed of the wave to be nearly same at the point where the leads leave the wave.
