We have a two Heller ovens, 1707EXL (2006) and 1707MK III (2014). We use them for lead and lead-free reflow soldering including all the tricky components such as BGAs. You may want to go with 8 or 9 zones if you are running high volume but a 7 zone

Hi Deni, Thanks for the input. That is my concern as well. Before getting to far I will try some repeatability runs and see if it is feasible. What is your experience with semi-auto printers and the primary issues you contend with? I'd like to ste

We are using Metcal STTC-8xx series tips. One thing that makes a huge difference on tip life is what type of solder you are using. If you are soldering with lead (SnPb) solder the tips will last 3 times longer on average than if you are soldering w
