For what it is worth, I am also a very big fan of Pillarhouse machines. They have proven to be very reliable. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bush, Brien Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 10:56 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] selective soldering - what machine? Hi Graham, We are also a high mix / low volume facility. We purchased 2 Pillar house Jade machines almost 2 years ago. We are so impressed with the ease of programming / operation We are looking into adding more. They are very simple machines and easy to maintain.

Good day TechNet We are looking to expand our capacity, and purchase a selective solder machine. We are a high mix / low volume facility, contract work - so lots of changeovers. My key criteria are ease of programming and ease of maintenance. Our boards are typically not thick or heavy, so pre-heat is not an essential consideration. Dual pot or pot changeover is of value - most of our customers are still tin/lead, but there is some movement to lead free. Any recommendations? Reminder - if you are the equipment rep, contact me offline and please do not spam the list.
