We have an Advanced Techniques AT707 system. Overall I am pretty pleased with it. Honestly we went with them because it was one of the lowest priced models when we were first getting into BGAs four years ago. They are worth a look. This year ill be l

We have a Seho 1135-F Soldering wave. Everytime we shut the machine off it asks for a password. We call for service and we get a new one. Is there a way i can by pass the password? Thanks.

"They ended up hiring a guy for the going rate around town so they shot themselves in the foot." Well, except that now they have a happy employee and before they didn't. Not criticising, just pointing out a different perspective. Sometimes they'll p

Just heard yesterday from my KIC rep that they have a product called KIC vision now. Sits in your oven and does the profiling automatically whenever you tell it to. They also have one called KIC 24/7 which can profile (and assign a PWI) to each board

Having been around the block, an old lead head from way back, I've used MOLE, KIC,and Datapaq. They all do the same thing, but I'd have to give the edge to KIC. 9 ports and automatic wave detection. Also, KIC2000 is as user friendly as you can get

Thanks John, You built smart batch I/R oven from a consumer toaster oven and that sounds pretty cool and cheap too. I'm hoping that we don't have to resort to all of that to get what we need... although I have been toying around with the idea of buil

In some cases it's just cheaper to get tubes and we dont need excessive inventory because we are not a big job shop. Either way though we have to deal with tubes for now. Are the belt feeders still a good alternative option in todays market? I've n

Well the profiler IS out for calibration so I can't use it. However, what piqued my curiosity is your statement concerning uneven heating. On the product we were running we had several non-liquidous solderjoints where as the rest of the joints looke
