I had a similar problem once. It turned out to be sprocket bearings. The sprocket was so hard to turn, the chain would stop a couple times per shift.

We use the Tribol 930/100 Synthetic oil. Also, check the drive motor chain on the output end of the oven. I have seen the set screws back out of the drive gears, and it will kind of pop at times while running.

Great advice, all. Thanks much. I called on the Tribol 930 and there is now a blend called Tribol 1421 that is good for higher temps. Speedline recommends in place of 930 if you wish to do so. Might be something to consider for lead free stuff.

You need to find out what Speedline recomends for lubrication and use it (chain oil and screw shafts). Don't try to be clever or cheap by second sourcing your own concoction. Currently I am using: Tribol for the chain Krytox for the screw shaft

When we had problems on our Omni 5 with fluctuating chain speed, the problem turned out to be the Dart speed control board. After replacing the board the problem went away.

Speedline (800) 737-8110 sells it in 500 ml qtys. I'm trying to find some in larger, cheaper qtys. but no luck yet. I believe it's a Castrol Industrial product for starters.

Speedline also sells 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes too. I think the 1 gallon was about $140, I dunno about the 5 gallon though

It is Castrol. We have a 4.49 gal. can of the 930. Don't know any history of where we got it, or how much we paid.

Check Epotek http://www.epotek.com Look in their General adhesive section. Epotek 600 is black if it will work for you.

Can anyone advise if there are any industry standards for SMT Environments. I am setting up an SMT area in a new facility and need to know about temp, humidity, filtration levels etc.
