We have a Versaflow 40/50 and ours is setup like this. We have out nozzle test position set so that in the Z axis you are 3.8mm away from the pin. Used feeler gauge Then you can set your gradient per nozzle. Start with a number then do a wave offs

OK guys, we got our Adipic acid. What is the preferred methode of applying it? a) Nozzle mounted, momentarily turn off wave and then brush? Or b)coat nozzle with the acid then mount it and turn wave on? By the way, we are using Indium flux WF-994

I use adipic acid to clean our Ersa selective solder machine nozzles. Makes a huge difference and is quick and easy.

Guys, thank you for your advice about Adipic Acid, it's an amazing! In my country one small box of Hakko Pretinning Solder paste (FS-100) costs USD30, 1 kg of this axid costs USD5.5 .

If you can find some, you might want to give Adipic Acid a try. It is a powder but I have seen it work well.

Adipic Acid works well. It is a powder and not easy to apply, though. It is what gives Jello, its bite.

Try adipic acid to clean your nozzles. It is a powder and can be awkward to work with as a result. But you might end up preferring it. Also look where the substance is not. There are two PTH joints without it. And that chip cap is closer to the PT

Stephen, Bill, Thaks for your input. We are currently waiting for nozzles since the ones we have are badly oxidized. We do have a deoxidizing gel that we got from ERSA, not sure if it contains Adipic Acid, but it is what was suggested we used. Once

Kurtz had a guy that was great with the machine. I strongly suggest that you watch the wave height test a few times in the morning then at lunch and at the end of the day. Look where the solder goes up to on the probe. If it doesn't work consistent

Hello Loz, Blue residues on circuit boards can be caused by copper corrosion, component body deterioration, marking permanently, and adhesive break down. In this case, a more subtle mechanism appears to be possible. This is a no clean application
