WE have had one for many years, it has been very reliable, They are not the cadillac of wave machines, but suitable. Parts from novastar are pricy, but again we have not had many problems.

You can do much better than Novastar, their systems once made in Germany -now completely designed and manufactured in India and the quality control has suffered as well as Novastar'ss reputation and ability to keep up technologically. These machines

1. Yes, you are probably doing it now on a daily basis. 2. No, not if you want to meet the requirments for lead free.

I would recommend that you search the archives on this. This topic has been discussed to great length on many occasions. Russ

yes you can use lead-free components and/or lead-free solder paste on Sn/Pb PCBs. You do get reliable joints. as already mentioned, it doesn't meet the WEEE and RoHS requirement. Indy

We're getting an error on our CP643 that we can't seem to make sense of. It's a D1 axis error, but we're only getting it when we run a feeder on device 140. Any advice would be appreciated.

I guess it will be the size of the feeder on that position (Perhaps you're using a 12x8 or 16x8)

Just a thought, but check to make sure you dont have a pickup offset in your pd or machine thats causeing your problem.

I go with hot air. If that isn't possiable than I would say run a test. Reflow one board and see what happens. If it gose bad all the through-hole might have to be taken out. Let us know how it gose. Megan
