Thank you ChrisW. I agree completely. The decision to idle the temperature or turn the wave off is primarily a function of machine utilization. Period. The utilization % break even point for idle vs. turning the heat off is calculated by comparing th

Thanks for the replies. The single missed lead is a bit odd - we usually have an entire area missed and that's due to the board not sitting properly in the pallet fingers. I figured in this case it was likely due to poor fluxing? We have always str

You are pretty much on your own when selecting fluxes. search archives in forums and see what everyone else is using and doing. Whoever you purchased the wave from should be installing this machine, certifying it, and providing training for your
