Hiram, We have just had the same decision to make! I was at Vitronics Soltec, Holland about 4 weeks ago doing trials for Lead Free. The Soltec Delta machine was ultimatly chosen over price verses performance. Both machines are very capable but

Other way around Dave. We decided that the Delta had more in common with the Electra rather than the Vectra, the Electra being much more expensive. For example, we wanted 3 preheat zones for lead free and this would mean an exernal fluxer unit if

I worked for a US leading edge technology company to develop smt and wave solder processes to be transfered to their Tiawan CM. Its not 400K units per year, but800K per month! And yes, your right, no one wants to give away the magic lead free proce

That's what I have ... two 5 zone reflow. A representative from AIM told me that 7 zone reflow is required with PbFree. It's good to know that it work fine with a 5 zones. Florida cirtech is the company who told me that SN100C do not damage your w

Hi John, It depends on what equipment and resources you have at your disposal - if you have an antique wave with crap adjustment & hand sprayed flux, no debridging/air knife system on a tightly packed board with a multitude of fine pitch connectors

"The optimizer has FLUX DISTRIBUTION WINDOW it measures - the amount of flux applied. -Identify uneven distribution of your flux. The FLUX DISTRIBUTION WINDOW permits you to obtain information about your fluxer's performance and repeatability

We are building seven different assemblies that have flex circuitry that go off in four different directions within the panel. The panels are square to facilitate flow through smt & wave solder and depanilized in solder touchup. Currently, we are usi

Cleaning method will depend on the type of flux > that you use in your soldering process. Yes it is isopropyl alcohol. We use "no-clean" halide free flux (Multicore X33-06i). We still cleaning and I beleive it is because we roto trim the leads aft

Hi all, been recently wave soldering some pcbs with no problems and have now noticed what looks like blue residues on some solder joints. We have been running this product for around six months and this is the first time we have seen this. It is rand

Hi, We paid �60K for a 6622C from Vitronics Soltec, no idea about US costs since the dollar went down the swanny. Great machine though. Not all lead free ovens come with Nitrogen capability - it depends whether you specify it or not, and it can ad
