What would cause this? Too much pre-heat, not enough, too much dwell, not enough? I am staying within the flux specs for preheat and can't seem to affect it much. Can board/parts contamination lead to this? I think that is a reach but I'm runnin out

I use to have that kind of problems with other type of machines and here are the causes: 1- Spray fluxer head partially obstructed (check flow rate) 2- Defective pre-heater probe (manually check temps) 3- PROFILE (last preheat to 280) 4- we sometimes

HI, just my 0,00001 cents Which preheat system does your wave solder has? for instance ? - IR ? - Bottom only ? - IR + Forced Air ? (bottom) - IR + Forced Air (bottom) IR top ? PCB thickness ? Appropriate preheat is important when looking to f

..and he can put the flux in and keep it a secret too from his customer.. RSS profile on wave?? I never heard of a soak zone for wave preheat...you may be burning off your activator..hence, the beads. For wave preheat, your main goal is to ramp up

okay so both the 2005 formulas from interflux are clear alchol based fluxes. Yellow res huh? In looking at the temps here, I would say you might be too hot at both preheat and solder temp. You may be burning flux. How long is dwell time over wave

I have some problems in sufficient preheating the pcb's. They splatter on the mainwave, causing solderballing. Less flux causes problems with the fill of the through- holes. We use a Delta Wave with 3 preheat zones, the first two are calrods the thi

The 2009M is a water based flux and requires more preheating compared to alcohol based fluxes. After checking real chunks advice you might check if you hear sizzling when the solder touches the board (indicator that the water is not eliminated by you

I think your pre-heat temp is a little low for SAC 305 Soldering. Especially with a Pallet. You might want to try to add some time and temp to get the PWB itself preheated up to 150-160C. That should help with the barrel fill. Make sure your board

That model comes standard without bottom preheaters. Bottom preheaters are an option so I would think it is designed for general use unless you have some very thermally challenging boards. As long as you are within the process window, you'll be fine.

I would always have top and bottom preheaters in a solderwave machine. Even if you can make it work without them, it's better to heat both sides of a board then just one. Far less stress on the parts you are soldering. Plus you may need it one day fo
