We are running an RMA flux (Kester 1515). Changing the angle didn't help any so we're back at 6 degrees and placing an order for the lambda nozzle changeover. Are you currently running the debridging knife?

most machines have fixed angle of 6 deg. some are adjustable from 5 - 7 deg., but 6 is most popular.

Last I heard, the Optimizer costs $10k. As long as you put the cover on, there should be no issues with the LCD. Hmmm... where're the SALESMEN? Last thread we had on this, the salesman wrote a book here on SMTNet.

I did not tried this before (never hada chance to do it) but I considered such option - maybe try using temporary wavesolder mask on such small components. Run both sides of PCB through SMT oven and then mask 0402 completely and go with wavesoldering

Your IPC-610 workmanship manual will have the answer for you (I don't have the latest at my fingertips). Depends on what class you are building too, 1, 2 or 3 and the application of this connector on the product- which you must determine.

I estimate the costs about the same but we build in batches so the wave only runs a few hours a day. We do complex boards so I think its worth it plus you have to keep the machine awhile to recoup the investment in the new nozzles. If the market gets

I have the identical machine and setup as you with the same issue(s). I looked at setting up for N2 but am choosing to retrofit to a standard lambda nozzle setup. If you are soldering bottom side SMT parts or other challenging assemblies, N2 may ma

Well I finally got the power turned back on at my house. Guess they only let ya slide so long without paying the bill. I still say 4 months is OK - especially inthe winter time. But requardless, wave soldering 0402s is nuts. Getting adhsive to fi

Keep in mind that device pitch, pad geometry, lead length and even alloy type will play a roll in your evaluation. I have an assembly that we run 10k pieces per month. One two-pin connector has a pitch of 1.27mm. Unfortunately, the pads are 0.007"

We dont have the debridging knife. I had one on an old Hollis machine I had once. It was totally worthless. I am setting up the nitrogen today. I will let you know how its goes. We are using a water based no-clean. The nitrogen will probably make a
