| I am running composite fixtures on my wave solder machine and after about 500 passes each (1 month)they are showing serious signs of wear in that the composite surface is bubbling up and glass fibers are also starting to show. | The problem here

Hey Dave, sounds like your material is delaminating at a rapid rate, I would not recommend using them through your process, delaminating material has to go some where! When composite material is made, layers of fibre glass and epoxy resin are placed

Rich: In my experience, I have seen three cases of SMT Capacitors cracking: 1. Due to thermal shock when entering the wave solder. Note that these were 1210 package sizes on the wave solder side of the boards. We were able to trace this back to th

Our Electrovert UPK445 needs a new solder pump motor. The Machine is down. I'm taking a huge chance with Specnor. If the motor doesn't come in or if it doesn't work, then I'm dead. They told me I'd have the motor next day. They kept trying to sell me

Everything went smoothly. I had the motor in less than one day. And I saved $690 from Electrovert's $1170 price (slightly different model but it works great!). | Our Electrovert UPK445 needs a new solder pump motor. The Machine is down. I'm taking a

Hi Dave! Yeah, they've been around a while, and they're pretty straight foward like you said. About the only things that I can think of that I've run across that causes problems with these guys is when they're used on the bottomside of the board

You're right Earl� Drag soldering is a dead issue as far as new technology is concerned. They do, however, work for most through-hole boards� but so do wave machines. There are only two manufacturers left that still produce drag soldering machine

| Good Morning everyone. Per repeated suggestions I have been reading back issues of SMT and Circuits Assembly magazines. I have just read an article concerning selective wave soldering which I understand is to be used when active SMTcomponents are
