SPC was a fad of the '80's and has been mis-used by the igonorant for decades now! Doing SPC on defects is a case in point. Hell I implemented wave SPC programs before eating breakfast at 2 previous companies, and they worked great..resulting in 25

Our new Soltec Delta 3 has this feature (they call it mainwave pushup) where you can add up to 60 rpm to the pump after the leading edge passes over the wave. Unfortunately, our old Delta Wave doesn't have this feature. Ideally we'd like to set it
