We used an air knife using foam fluxer and no clean flux to remove excessive flux from the boards for a better look afterwards. A secondary effect might be that the flux is forced into the vias giving you better results on the top. If you feel a need

We are asking $10,500us for this machine, as for shipping I will see what I can come up with as we are in Canada. This is a dual wave machine with foam fluxer. It has not run in 3 years but when we had it in production results were favorable and cons

When using a foam fluxer: 1. Bubble size is important. What stones are you using? Ever clean them? Too large a bubble will NOT help your situation. (I forget bubble size range....check with your fluxer mfgr.) 2. Thinner will help in capilary m

We do allot of multi layer boards with heavy ground planes or heat sinks attached. We have a Trieber, use RMA flux, solder pot temp at 500F, foam fluxer, spray the top if need be, and would warm up the PWB to around 240F over the preheaters. We have

We used fluxes: Cobar 94-QMB (no bismuth), RF800, Cobar94RXZ-M, with foam and spray fluxers: MBO clean alloy SN63PB37.experienced with changing preheatting, speed of covoyer single and double wave., we tried every combination. I think the problem is

Same happenend to me with another flux some years ago, to me its a reduced viscosity of the flux, what I did was to reduce the width of the slot on top, where the flux exits, reduced the distance from stone to pcb and filled the flux reservoir to the

Casimir, I have seen exactly what you are experiencing with the Kester 958 on other wave lines. No clean fluxes vary in how much flux residue is visually left behind. These no clean residues are typically not harmful to the PCB, but they are often

Bruce, Using a foam fluxer with no-clean flux is a very touchy situation. It is imperative that the specific gravity of any flux be maintained within the manufacturers recommendations. If it is not, you will get icicles and bridging. Maintaining the

I did have my solder analyzed and it is clean. The Hollis preheat coils are a bit hard to control but I have measured the board top side and I am getting a temp of 105c just before wave contact. I would like to move to a spray fluxer but I am going
