GSM-Forum - View Single Post - New rework station with complete process analysis RE8500 from JOVY

I use the USA Jovy distributor. Speak to Kevin. I got the grease in, looks like white lithium or coldcreem. Haven't used it yet.

Prob is, once the upper heater goes down you cannot swing it. Have to lift it. I bought another ring to let the arm drop to position 4. (Not sure yet about pos 4, will play with that).

I took measurements and the shaft is the same size as the RE7500, so not sure why they didn't just put the same swing assembly on the RE8500. I have lodged my complaint with Jovy on that.

I wish it had manual usage similar to the RE7500 but with the extra TC monitoring. That would have been nice.

Still not really using the RE8500 for production. Too intimidating. Have to jump in I guess.
