Maybe your CMOS battery is dead! On some of these old system once the battery is drained the CMOS settings are lost, this would include the correct setting for detecting the hard drive and I doubt there is an auto detect . Try turning on the machine

Hopefully not too late of a reply... We currently have both, the Ersa ETS 330 (running LEAD solder) and Seho GoWave 1030 (RoHS solder). Bought the Ersa used, and it seems like a strong built industrial high volume machine. We've needed to modify it a

I agree. Trim the leads before insertion, then raise the pot height. With the information given, this is most likely your solution. Our machine has a dam wall on the rear of the solder pot that raises the height on the solder pool. I would make sure

Hi Zac, My 2 cents: We had similar problems on a board in the same situation (tin-lead HASL, very long leads, low pot height, high pump RPM). Trimming the leads shorter, moving the pot closer to the board, and dropping the pump speed down to sane

Thanks for the suggestions, Caurbach. We do have the occasional lead jumping out even at this length, hence why we've been hesitant to cut them shorter. I have the wave nozzle to PCB distance set as per the machine instructions (4mm I think?). I ce

Hey all, We are a small electronics manufacturing company who has been using the solder reflow process for years, but we have been hand placing components. We only run the system 2-3 days per week. I have been looking at buying a used pick and pla

Rick, You might want to consider a Quad 4000C. Even though Quad is out of business, parts and support are available from Precision Placement Machines. They are rebuilt with a warranty and run Windows 7. They offer intelligent feeders and if you don'

Hi, I am evaluating equipment for a new SMT line that I will run myself as a side business. I have so far settled on Assembleon as the machines are available and I have heard good things about them. Your comment gives me pause. Is it really such a b

Sergey, I understand your thought process kinda, but you are not going to justify yourself a pick and place line based on a "simple" 5K board contract unless you know something we don't. You do not want a machine that has buggy or slow software. Any
