Hi there, I am using Inertec selective soldering. We do 8 hr shift, 5 days a week, lead-free at 300C - changing nozzles once in 4-6 weeks. Regards, Tom

We have been seeing continued difficulty with solder shorts and/or insufficient barrel fill with our Juki selective solder machine while using SAC305. We want to switch to something in the SN100 series, but we do not know enough to seperate the hype

Are you using lead or lead-free solder? 260C would be good for lead solder but may be a bit low for lead-free. We run our lead-free selective solder pot at 300C although we do not have any pre-heat or top heat, just hot nitrogen blowing around the

Charles, I am using an Air-Vac PCBRM12 to selectively solder a 96 pin thru-hole connector onto an otherwise all SMT board. Cost is $8.6K plus about $300 per flow well (nozzle.) Went from a 6 minute cycle to hand solder the connector to 15 seconds o

A recent thread regarding the ACE KISS equipment has me wondering if anyone is happy with their choice in selective equipment. I don't see much mentioned about Pillarhouse, Juki, ERSA and some of the others. We're currently debating whether to inve

Even if it is 300 hours, using a conservative estimate of that time being worth $20/hr the machine saved $6,000 in one month. At $6,000/month the ROI is probably no more than 1 year which is good. From what I have seen in this forum over the last c

We have a legacy Pillarhouse Jade and am not sure how long we can expect a nozzle to last. We're new to using selective solder and we have things going, but there are some details like this where we just don't know what a reasonable expectation can b

We ended up purchasing direct from Superior. It was like $300 for one gallon so pretty steep but considering it should last me over a year and save untold hours of labor during the course of that year, small price to pay. Side note: If at all possi

We use a dual pot ERSA system. It is outstanding. Saved about 3000 hours of labor a month. Very expensive but worth it. We also looked at JUKI it was also a nice system. It was very flexible but the ERSA was better suited for high volume.
