I have tried all the products I could find on the market. The so called wonder stuff MS2 from PK Metals (Aweful nasty stuff) and also the solder saver (Terrible hand held egg whisker). Recenty I had an 30 day evaluation on the EVS 6000 from EVS inte

Hello all, just wanted to say that I've been using MS2 for 2 months now. Yes, it does eliminate dross. Yes, it is a little messy. However, we've seen a significant drop in our DPMO's on both leaded and lead free process. The solder is so much cleaner

Hello everybody, My name is Jay Hardin and I'm the MS2 Applications Manager for P. Kay Metal. I was just informed of this thread and will post my 2 cents when needed. I'm the guy who goes out in the field and makes sure MS2 is installed properly and

Just to clarify: I'd say that it will potentially save money by turning the wave off at night, but the savings are minimal. But...If your power rates are cheaper during off peak hours (at night) like some power companies offer, it may save you money

Converting your machine from lead to lead-free can be performed in a few steps: 1)Ensure the solder bath is up to temperature 2)De-dross the solder bath 3)Remove pumps/ flow ducts; etc. clean very well- set aside 4)Purge leaded solder 5)Remove as muc

After 16 years in the industry, I have honestly never heard of putting wax in a solder pot. Anyway, I do have some experience with Treiber wave solder machines, and as I recall, the air-driven pumps are a nightmare to service. First of all, make su

First profilers are expensive and you can use temperature dots for setting up a wave. You stick them to the top side of the board and they change color based on temp. Top side temp should be around 250f or 125c when it hits the fountain. If you spra

We bought a new lead free wave from Electrovert about a year ago and opted to not have the nitrogen options installed on this machine. We could not justify the cost of the nitrogen used versus the benefits that we would see. One downfall is that you

With the costs of bar solder going through the roof manufacturers need to try to offset the dross related losses any way possible. Companies employ reclamation processes but in practice this only yields roughly 1/3 of the original cost of the solder

I mean...there are a ton of possibilities for bridging on selective solder before you ever get to alloy purity. Are the bridges happening consistently in the same spot? Are the leads too long? Can you modify the approach/exit/peel off to address? Wh
