I would use a foam fluxer since spraying rosin will make the stickiest nastiest mess you can imagine. 18 layer board huh? You will want convection preheat, both top and bottom preheaters, preheat tunnel of at least 4-5', a chip wave, laminar flow w

Kev, If I remember correctly, Hollis used calrod preheaters on that machine and they had a reflector under the elements to reflect the radiant waves back to the PCB. You might want to clean the reflector. If it is too far gone, use some Reynolds Wr

I am having problems achieving correct pre-heater temperatures with our Hollis solder wave. Our original "Verification Golden board" program uses a conveyor speed of 5ft per minute and pre-heat temps of 300, 350, 400 respectively. Our "golden Board"

Kev, I looked up records of various hollis machines with 3 preheat zones. and with progressive preheat temp. of 300 400 and 500 with a speed of 3.5ft/min the topside board temp was 120C before entering the wave. the preheat elements were infrared. W

Kev, It looks like you have a preheating powerplant and you still only get the board up to 85 Deg. This indicates that the preheating is out of calibration or the range settings might be very wide (Fex the preheat elements shut down at 500 and go ba

Hi Lads, Thanks for all of the replies. To answer a few of your questions..... My wave is a Hollis PT500N. It has 3 zones of pre-heater rod elements. Each individual element (601195-01) is 500 watts. There are 16 elements per zone so 8 Kw per zone.

Hello All, We have a small selective solder machine from RPS, a Rhythm SS, purchased used with SN100C in pot. For a couple of years we have used this machine and gotten good results. We have been adding SN995 to the pot as it needed more solder. Then

We have 4 bad heating elements for our wave soldering machine and we need to replace them ASAP. Can someone tell me where I could find these heating elements for the Folungwin MD-450N wave soldering machine

Hussman- I agree. Even some of the Wave soldering machine manufacturers quote High temp paint as a maintenance step. The paint step does not work well with quartz type heating elements Best regards, Cal Manncorp
