Thank you all for your input. The MF300S Multicore flux is rated for lead free. There is not much dross or contamination. We are using nitrogen. I've tested the boards with the curing test of IPC-TM-650. I think you're all right about the preheat.

I agree with Grant. The MYDATA machines we had were very easy to program, adjust and as Grant states make them pick up from just about anything. The best part of them was using partial reels or strips of parts. These machine don't care about havin

Hi Piet, I've never used a Dima macine before, so I can't comment there. I've seen Mydata's sell for as little as 8500 Euros from customers to 17,000+ Euros from dealers, to a lot more from Mydata. A lot depends on being in the right place atthe r

Do you think it would be possible to make a home made vapour phase machine for say $500. What I am think is making an 18 inch square cube type box with a transparrent lid out of s/s or copper. Fit some heating element to the base to heat the liquid

Hi all, We are running with SACX in our Wave. To be honest it was like a drop in replacemnt and we have seen some boards improve believe it or not. we find that running it at an elevated temp. i.e 280 on our selective pallets improves wetting and
