Frank-In addition (Dave gave some good scoop) we use a Pyrex Glass board to run through the wave. This is useful as you can see through the board .....you can watch the flux coverage, preheat, and Wave (be it Chip, lamda, or??) as it goes through the

WOW... Hi Dave and everybody. I'm very surprise that this thread is still alive. From all your comments and your good tips, I was able to confirm that my current profil is good. Concerning the small problem of soldering I still have, I've decided

Here is some more info with regarding my Wave. 1. PCB .065" thick 2. leed length .20" (.135" protrution) I know this is high but we use many thousands and cutting each is not practical. 3. no clean flux by way of foam fluxer 4. wave machine is a HOL

Bruce, Using a foam fluxer with no-clean flux is a very touchy situation. It is imperative that the specific gravity of any flux be maintained within the manufacturers recommendations. If it is not, you will get icicles and bridging. Maintaining the

I did have my solder analyzed and it is clean. The Hollis preheat coils are a bit hard to control but I have measured the board top side and I am getting a temp of 105c just before wave contact. I would like to move to a spray fluxer but I am going

I will try that next. I did speed up the wave pump motor with a larger pully(20% more speed) This was done at the time to try to increase the size of the wave because I had component leeds touching the wave pot as they passed by. Due to the wave high

woow, looks like I need to go back on the road... you all have great info. but what happen to asking what type of machine do they currently use, what is the configuration of the machine, what type of flux are we using, are running single sided or dou

Hi Solderdoctor! Days been great especially as it's nearly over. Don't see many of those machines over here anymore due to healthy competition from local supplier. Only been in industry myself nineteen years so spring chicken I suppose. Mind you sold

Hello Solder Doctor; I would be very interested in your file regarding wave process improvements. I have sent an email to you and I hope it gets to you. I have found some other tips from Speedline Technologies. They have a trouble shooting chart th
