SelectaFlux Retrofit ultrasonic selective fluxing system has been designed to retrofit into all major selective soldering machines and is said to be compatible with all flux types, including Pb-free. Requires a simple trigger signal to operate and has controlled velocity spray. Combines Microspray ultrasonic atomizing nozzle with low air pressure. Spray is restricted through a separately controlled module that handles input and output. The distance between the nozzle and substrate can be varied from near-contact to approximately 50.8 mm. Contains a digital display for nozzle power and panel-mounted nozzle power, flow rate and air pressure adjustments, plus an alarm output for nozzle malfunction. Is 432 mm width x 305 mm height, and 221 mm diameter.
