I am trying to develop such a system for a Wave Soldering process for PWB manufacture. I am interested in learning about other persons experience in using the above mentioned shells (or any other ones), and the suitability of these shells for process trouble-shooting and diagnosis. I convey my appreciation in advance for any comments or help provided. Arshad Jamil Dept. of Industrial Engineering Texas A&M University, C.S., Texas
