Hi Hoss, Thanks for your reply. Yes I am seeing the flux flood over to the top surface of my board, so to an extent I am not concerned with the fluxer. I believ that the foam fluxer is functioning adequately.

Check when you set up the board that it is positioned in the centre of the table. When the calibration is carried out the table drives away and then returns to capture the fiducial, if there is not enough travel left in the actuators then this is th

On the GSM, the board width is usualy 18" maximun. But there's a lot of possibility depending if you have a PTF or where's yours changers and the block #

Hi Grant, You'll need to move the nozzle changer on your machine if you want to run very big boards, it comes out quite easily. (It's single track & not set up for RAM or PTIF, no shuttle & standard handling) Cheers, Rob.

Depends on how many nozzles you will need for the larger board - if its 8 or less (4 per head) then you can take it out. You shouldn't have too many problems with this as with your setup you have one for small stuff & one for big stuff.

Has anyone compared Mirtech with Yestech? I've done a demo with both machines using our own board and data and found that the Yestech was easier and took less time to program but that's a pretty small sample. Any input appreciated.

We would need more info to answer. How many boards get run between de-drossings? How many days between de-drossings? Are you removing dross only or some good solder with it? Jerry

3M jetmelt. A bit better than off the shelf reg hotmelt. Also use a GE white RTV. Never had any caps come off the board with either. DG

Hi Dave, How/why is the 3M better? Sounds like you did some research and was wondering if reg. ol' hot melt might cause some other problems to the board. I bet the 3M costs a bit more too.

The NXT is more costly and has board size issues when it comes to CM applications. There are some other threads about the NXT machines.
