We have a timer on our selective solder so it's molten when we come in. The heat it takes to remelt the solder is equal to the heat lost as it solidifies therefore don't worry that it takes more energy per minute to melt the solder than to keep it mo

So Stephen, I don't know what part of the country you're from, but during summer time, what DO you do with your air conditioning at home? "Your wrong" is a very general statement, without a "right" statement to counterpoint my wrong statement. Hon

Sorry to hear that RDR. Although, I thought the statement was "drive" a Harley (not own), which I find funny. Also sorry to hear about the Vette too. Should we make it a rule that the guy with the biggest spoiler is right? Then we can make a movi

the temperature difference between solder and room temperature, So if you let the solder cool down, you need less energy then holding it on temperature + heating a bit up. 2. If you let the solder get to solid, you don't have oxidation. 3. If you l

Good calculation, i have to say. Do you forgot, If you let the machine cool down during night, the rest-temperature isn't roomtemperature? right, dont you think the temperature will be something about 140�C ??? heating up time then is not 3 hours. m

Thanks for the feedback. The Finetech machines look very nice, but are far out of our budget. While we are looking for the most cost effective solution, we are able to spend ~$15K on this machine. We really just need a reliable way to remove and rep

Jeremy, Just started looking into this equipment myself. I have not dealt with Madell Tech however, I know that they do not manufacture equipment . . . they are importers / resellers of equipment made in China. To me the stuff on their site does n

We are making a socketed version of the boards, but it forces some compromises that will degrade performance. In talking to people (although admittedly most are rework vendors) the consensus is that with this small a part you pretty much need visio

make your silkscreen accurate and you do not need vision vision is the reason for the high cost of this equipment. A part like you mention can easily be done with a temp controlled heat gun and a fixed height stand (about 300 dollars total)to hold t

Hi Bart, I suggest you have a look at Assembleon's OPAL XII. They have a special offer at this moment. You can select the machine with 4 heads (standard) and later if higher speed is needed, you can upgrade it to 8 heads. the machine is capable of h
