Seems we had similar issue years ago with our VIP 70. There are a series of 2pin axial fuses on the panel with the SS relays and contactors (I don't think it was over the FCU). Check each fuse with a meter; replaced ours and the e-stop cleared and th

Thanks for all the responses. BTU has now informed that the reason it is so expensive is the oven heaters need completely rewiring and some work in the transformer area etc is required. Also, we have to pay for engineering work for them to know wha

:o You wouldnt happen to have shares at BTU, Fastek? What you are replying is just what Kris was talking about. I wouldnt take it either. Customer service should be very important for any company. Imagine a broken oven, company coming to a stand

I don't know much about BTU but we had a very similar problem with a Conceptronics and it turned out to be one of the 120V power supplies. Our machine had two of them (the same as you would find in any PC). Easy to test them although they can be fl

Thanks for the advice. In this scenario we are designing our own product. Currently we are building at a prototype level with no appreciable wait between reflow passes. The part in question is a 64 pin QFP. We use a BTU VIP 98 with edge conveyor.

Kris- You obviously need to become more self-sufficient if you are struggling to keep your reflow oven up and running. Reflow ovens are too simple to repair to get freaked out over them. It's not always the vendor's fault when the customer doesn

first, does the recipe have the heat and conveyor boxes checked? If no then it does nothing. second, have you pressed the round green switch? third, are there any alarms in the alarm box? Do you have a controller link fail? Verify the cable is p

Hi, A couple of another things is to check: * The cooling water supply (assuming that your oven has this feature). * The fans (Just open the hood and check if every fan, up & down is running). * Open the back panels: and you should see some "black"
