Loco- I was expecting such a response. Look...my point is this....the reflow oven is the most simple piece of equipment on the floor. I can't imagine having to call in BTU repeatedly if it is a fairly recent vintage oven. Plus it sounds like Kris mi

I just ran into a reflow profiling problem with a new assembly that we are processing in SMT. There is a cluster of six or so electrolytic caps that measure approx. .710" wide by .660" tall. They are spaced .100" or so apart. When I run a profile, t

Hi, We paid �60K for a 6622C from Vitronics Soltec, no idea about US costs since the dollar went down the swanny. Great machine though. Not all lead free ovens come with Nitrogen capability - it depends whether you specify it or not, and it can ad

With our last two ovens (Heller and now BTU) spanning the past 7 or 8 years I did it once a month and have never seen any issues. Reflow ovens these days with PID controllers know exactly what they are doing inside well before you run a profiler thro

JimPat, I travel to a lot of companies and I regularly hear complaints about pieces of equipment, new and used. The one piece of advice I would give is buy a main brand. Figure out your wants and needs to spec the oven and then buy a Vitronics, Hel

We produce some heavy copper multi-layer boards. 4-6 layer typ with 3oz throughout. WE currently are using a Heller 1912EXL with belt speed around 32-36 in/min. I am looking to replace this oven with a more efficient unit. To the best of my knowledg

Those of us doing low volume with mesh ovens and double sided boards will often use the titanium strips used for making boards more rigid for wave soldering. Gives you enough clearance for lower profile items that you would typically find on the firs

Reckless that's easy : Tabletop units are a joke, you could just as well go build one yourself with a toaster oven and a controller, the results won't be great but at least you won't have spent $5k on one with a ssnazzy screen. "Hulking Units" - wel

Seems like the landscape is changing in SMT equipment for US manufacturers. I have heard the following but I don't claim they are anything more than rumors: 1) Sanyo and Universal are parting ways and Sanyo will market their machines in the US direc
