Hi All, We have been running a Novastar spartan 8S wave solder machine for a number of years. We actually do very little wave soldering and this machine has served us well. I have always been of the opinion that with the small pot and simple fluxe

As Wolfgang says: Conveyor speed may be too high. Excuse me for not stripping-out my repetition from your list, but other machine adjustments to consider are: * Using more efficient [higher specific gravity] flux. [Got it!!!] * Adjusting wave shape

http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/cooling.html this page has it right about minimizing AC energy use. With the wave, look at two machines. One you turn off, the other you let idle. The one that is turned off is using no power. The other one is

Good calculation, i have to say. Do you forgot, If you let the machine cool down during night, the rest-temperature isn't roomtemperature? right, dont you think the temperature will be something about 140�C ??? heating up time then is not 3 hours. m

We finally can't avoid adding wave solder to our process anymore. For lead-free, medium sized wave I'm leaning towards mid 2000s senju units as the best fit. I've never run their equipment. Opinions? As a point of reference for our general capabilit

it'll be cheaper if you'll let your wave machine up all night and let it in its idle temp (supposed to be 200��C) simply because it will need less power from idle temp up to operational temp compared to from 0�C-operational temp. Temperature Sensors

Check out RPS Automation. We have had good results with their selective solder machine that we purchased 1 year ago and they have wave nozzles as well in the 4-8 inch range. Changing from a selective solder nozzle to the wave nozzle takes only a fe

Selective soldering machines are a good way to "finish automation", if the design of the PCB is conducive to the application with just a few components to solder. Your points are good. A decision matrix for selecting a machine might also include:

We have recently acquired a Pillarhouse Jade machine which has changeover pots from Pb Free to Pb and the bath it small so changeover heatup is fast . Although it's runtime is slow it seems to run the product well.We are also running an Ebso 400 but
