My own preference in this arena is towards the forced air convection style preheat, the key being the forced air. Radiant preheat is too slow for some, and IR preheat can have other issues that convection (or radiant) will not. Zephyrtronics has bee

Our new Soltec Delta 3 has this feature (they call it mainwave pushup) where you can add up to 60 rpm to the pump after the leading edge passes over the wave. Unfortunately, our old Delta Wave doesn't have this feature. Ideally we'd like to set it

Hi, I bought a used FUJI CP65 machine and the machine is lockup in home. I boot the machine up with Mecha-check mode and can home all the axes except FRQ axis. I look at the Clutch Origin and Messh-check sensor amp is it display 1,2 E (Error I think)

I was wondering if people could throw out some recommendations for what they think would be a good choice of machine for placing truely odd form components. Odd form meaning different types of custom shields ranging from rings to arcs. I know that

Hi, I don't know what you mean by really odd parts. Are they SMT parts that have a flat surface to pick them up? If so, probably several machines can do it. I know for sure Siemens can place almost anything. THey will help you with any type of nozzl

0.700. What is special about 0.700? My part is an SOLIC14, which has a length of 0.350. So 0.700 is exactly twice the length of the part. Is there a problem feeding a part from a vibratory feeder if the escapement length is more that twice the lengt

I followed your instructions and did NOT select the option to break up the program for separate central controllers. I now have a program I can copy to central controller #1, and I can delete the head 2 data from the program. Now when I select RUN TH

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

I used method 'A' but I leave the wave on. I use a stainless steal brush like 7248T13 on McMaster-Carr.com. This way I can apply the acid and scrub the nozzle. Another important part is get a small brush to push down into the nozzle to make sure y

Hi All, I've been using a IVc for many years. I'm to the point where I have Mod Code 8 = 15, MC9 = 500, and all Extents PU delays set to 40ish. These settings work pretty well but I would like to get them closer to factory defaults to save the los
