Our facility is moving towards eliminating the need for carts completely by introducing conveyors. So far they have been set up before and after the wave. This has helped us reduce work in process inventory around the wave solders greatly.

What's this 'metalic coating on both sides'? Is that like a 'two-sided board'? I expect that your 200�F is the primary side temperature just prior to entering the wave. If not, you need more juice [depending on your flux and all that]. [Some mode

I have a board which contains brass spacers. The spacers will pass through the wave during soldering. I found a silicon-rubber cap that can prevent solder climbing up into the spacer. However, the cap influence the wave flow and reduce the solderabil

Hi, Now in my wave the PCB TOP Side temperature before WAVE is 110 - 115 DegC and the Peak temp in the wave is 240 - 245. These informations are for an 63/37 Alloy. What is the PCB TOP Side temperature and the peak temperature for Lead Free Wave Sn

Our two component suppliers use 99.5Sn/0.5Cu and 97Sn/3Ag solder (respectively) for tinning their leads. We use 98.9Sn/.66Cu/.33Ag solder in our wave solder machine. Is there any significant advantage to either tinning process regarding solderabili

The best practice is to perform a design of experiments. Without knowing your product or board composition, it is sensless to recommend any flux or solder. Contact some local area wave solder sales people. There are also "no lead specialist" that

Hi, We are currently using WonderMask PX Peelable Solder Mask # 2222 for the wave rework process, but we are having a lot of trash in the pot. I understand that it is because the solder mask resists the pot temperature (500F) but not the rework tim

Hello AR, Yes we are inspecting SMT that has been wave soldered. We are not inspecting solder on through hole components. We have actually found the solder inspector works better for wave solder SMT joints than reflowed. The system is great at ident

Many moons ago, at another company, we bolted an oval "carousel" to the ceiling. In our case, the carousel was use to convey wave soldering pallets from the end of a in-line washer to the from-end of the wave soldering machine. The pallets hung fro

Some Selective wave solder jig designer milled down the jig in one depth which is based on the thickest part on the bottom side of the board. This will create problem on the warpage on the jig due to the heat coming from the wave soldering machine. I
