I would agree on keeping the gaps to a minimum but make sure you have enough maintenance access to the pick and place and oven. Pulling a conveyor out with an 1/8th on either side is no fun. Same goes for bolting to the floor, make sure you can unb

Does anyone have any experience with setting up a nitrogen supply system to a wave solder machine that is equiped for it? Does the nitrogen need to be room temp or higher? Does it make a big difference with bridging or solder quality? We bought a use
