No nitrogen generator. We have a service bring us nitrogen tanks every week and have the machine set up so if one goes empty, we can turn on the other one to keep a seamless flow of productivity. Our waves run from 6:00 am until 3:30 am between 2 shi

Hi all, We have an MCS30 connected to a CP6 and CP4 smt machines. Every time we need to set up a job, the operator has to type the data at the MCS30 terminal. We already have this data in a Windows PC file. I saw a ethernet and several unused serial

Hi WRIGHT, When you the standard, I assume you are talking about what kind of set-ups. If so, then RDR is right. Contact a supplier. Most sell the water and also units that can make D.I. water. It depends on your need and size of your cleaner.

We use an older industrial dish washer to clean our boards, and it works out pretty well. Economical, at least. I'd like to upgrade to an in-line, but it's not in the budget, yet. We've got ours piped with de-ionized water, and a hot water heater
