We're in the process of choosing a source for a new cleaner. We use RMA today with batch semi-aqueous systems, and we're buying a conveyorized aqueous system so that we can begin to evaluate water soluble fluxes. Our product is primarily military/high-rel, with some surface mount components spaced very close (e.g. LCC's with 2 mil clearance). We've narrowed it down to Technical Devices, Trek, Electrovert (Speedline), and Austin American Technology. They all look like good machines, and performed well in our evaluations. Anyone care to comment about experiences with their equipment, in the areas of performance, maintainability, recurring costs, reliability, service, availability of parts, etc? Testimonials are welcome and valuable, but if you have a horror story, I'd sure like to hear it, and you can respond to me off-line if you'd be more comfortable.
