There are several good companies that offer selective soldering equipment. I presume the answers will vary greatly as to which ones people like.  We utilize Pillarhouse. We did get preheaters in ours.
I will add that our On-site N2 generator has paid for itself many times over when considering the amount of dewars we were using.  Aside from normal maintenance, the generator has been flawless.

Hi Juliano,

We use a Ace Production Technologies KISS-103. Pretty simple machine to operate. Easy change over from Lead to Lead-Free. We don't have the optional pre-heaters which sometimes would be nice to have, but we manage to overcome the issues where a pre-heater would be nice with increased dwell times. It's a fairly reasonably priced machine when you compare with other selective solder machines. We use it as a stand-alone machine and don't have the inline option. It fits our production well, we are a low to medium volume, high mix shop.

We have been using nitrogen dewars, but are getting a bulk nitrogen tank outside which will cut down on the tank swapping that we do weekly. Looked at onsite nitrogen generation and since this is the only machine we use nitrogen with, we couldn't convince those that control the checkbook to fork out for initial expense of the equipment.
