Morning Mike, We use Pb63/Sn37, Alpha Metal alloy. Solder pot is at 250 C. The profile of board after Preheat about 100 C, Lambda Wave about 220C (use both Lambda and Chip wave), DWell time 2.1s ~ 3s. Conveyor speed 1.5 in/min. We run by bare board a

we do that and there's a variation on the solder temp. sometimes around 10 degrees, we have 2 solder pallets that are run in intervals of roughly 3 1/2 minutes a part (the time that take the operator to put all 3 terminals in a 42 pcbs per board, and

I am just wondering what other people are using as far as gloves when cleaning the dross out of the wave solder pot. We currently are using welding gloves, but the operators say that they are too big and bulky. Does anyone have any suggestions on wh

We have two ZipaTec 460s Selective Solder Machines, one for Lead and one for Lead-Free. This morning we noticed the solder pot was covered in solder balls, and after asking the operator what they had run, the answer was "Nothing." The operator had al

A number of years ago I used a Kester product called Solder Saver. It is a thick liquid that one squirts onto the dross on a hot solder pot. It separates out the solder leaving a crust of almost clean dross. Unfortunately a mask is still required. Th

I use a two machines from EBSO, Germany. It's a machines with PCB carrier, so, solder pot is fixed. I'm fully satisfied with this equipment, but I use only wettable nozzles. If you would like to buy a new machine, not in used condition, EBSO will be

Jason, First, check with the manufacturer of the flux you are using. They can tell you what board topside temperature range the flux is designed for. Some other info is needed for the residue part. Is it showing up on the same board, or different boa

I was able to escape from Riyadh last week to attend APEX. PK Metals actually had a booth where they did a live demo. They had a working solder pot with dual wave, and demonstrated how their material acts as a barrier to oxidation, which causes dro

Wave set-up DOE * Immersion depth [1/3 to 2/3 of board thickness] has the least impact of any variable in wave soldering. * Contact length the greatest impact. * Control flux density, time through preheaters, top side temperature as the board reaches
