Hi Grant, You definitely have a pre-heat problem and not a flux problem. Pallets together with the BNC connectors put a large thermal demand on your pre-heating. 3 zones would be a good investment even with leaded solder due to the high thermal dema

Hi, Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I am going to check what options we have for top side heating. Do people recommend we get convection for that? Also, we seem limited to 60% in the machine setup, and does anyone know how to run the top lam

Hi, ok, I have a bit more info after playing further with the profiling. We are getting close, but we don't have enough top side heat I think. The IR lamps just don't give enough, but we can get better connector that should help. But we have anoth

Hi, Your right guys, and we turned off the chip wave, and most of the problem went away. It looks much better, and we are getting a slight bridging on a USB connector at the front edge of the PCB and a little adhesion, but not any where as much as w

Hi, Thanks for all the help guys, and we did a bunch of things to get it working. We raised the pump speed, and also went to a water based flux, which helped a lot. We also reduce pre heat as we were burning off the flux. It's doing really nice jo

We installed a Soltec Delta 3 a few months ago and have been trying to run with a VOC free no clean. We're using SN100C in the pot. We are spraying the material and have top/bottom preheat. Evaporation of the water in the flux is a bit of a stru

Hi, Very funny, and I feel so much better not because of your advice, but because your a Dr Dr PhD, and we all know thats more important than experience! Seriously though, so you think we should be ok with the zones we have? We are not sure, and so

Hi, We have the Soltec Delta C. It works well, and is very stable. I think the software is a bit simplistic, but it keeps the wave stable, so that's the main thing. It's the timer on the software that I find annoying. It has a warm up time, and yo

Dont't bother to answer real idiots! I can relate to a similar problem. We also use SN100C alloy and the solder pot get(got?) contaminated with the alloys from the SAC305! How can this be? Strange thing happens during the soldering process, and it o
