The Scienscope reflow oven that I saw last year looked like a knock-off of a Vitronics XPM oven. We liked the Scienscope so much that we bought the XPM. We all know the value of look-alikes and knock-offs.

Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 4:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Reflow ovens Anybody out there using the new Scienscope nitrogen reflow ovens? I was not even aware Sciencscope made a reflow oven, and was wondering if anybody has any hands-on experience with them? Send me your response by direct email if you prefer. I would appreciate all feedback, even reports from others you may have heard. And a short poll: if you were going to purchase a new reflow oven today, what would it be? You will be assembling military, telecommunications, and industrial products, both 63/37 and lead-free, and conventional size pwbs but some heavy backplanes as well. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
