| Anyone have any experience with ECD's Waverider/MOLE profiling equipment? If so, were they positive experiences? | I use ECD's mole for profiling in the wave and a KIC for profiling in reflow. I like the KIC a whole lot better for a couple of re

I'd like to add something about the ECD product. During a past work term (I'm a a co-op student) in an SMA plant, I worked extensively with the Super MOLE Gold in developing the reflow profiles for high-mix, low-volume production. I was 'married' t

Before "Pb-Free" became an issue we were and still are using Pb-Free component lead finishes- such as on many TSOP, SSOP and QFP packages as well as caps. Components manufacturers changing the lead finish to no-Pb tend to ensure solderability with Sn

Well, it appears after running both a bare and populated PWB we were seeing flux exhaustion on the uBGA. The problem apparently resulted by a recent maintenance effort where the air blowers in the reflow oven were replaced. The blower replacement m

Marc, Topside temperature is one of the most critical parameters for a successful solder process. Temp stickers are OK to use but won�t tell you the temperature in tight areas. The temp gun like Jay suggested is what I use as a quick indicator. (Rayt

Has anyone attempted to, or successfully used a custom made (DIY) protective thermal enclosure for the Super M.O.L.E. gold profiler? We recently purchased a Bravo oven that came with everything for the ECD profiling system... except for the thermal

We purchased a "Promotional Unit" (Super Mole Gold w/ power pack only) w/ 6 mo. warrany from ECD directly in '06' for $3395.00. My opinion of its function is excellent. The Predictor function works well, giving very close predictions. I tend to do my

Todd, Slim KIC 2000 would be my choice. We traded our Gold M.O.L.E for it and are very happy with the performance. The optimization program is great. No more guessing. The only thing I could gripe about is that it sucks up 9V batteries pretty quic

One difference with ECD from a hardware standpoint is that the M.O.L.E. installs into the OvenRIDER, WaveRIDER and ReworkRIDER products for solder machine process control. You get the same software too. Competitive systems I believe require more hard

Hi, to profile any type of temperature process, you should try ECD products. I'm used to work with their tool called Super M.O.L.E. Gold, wich is a data logger for six thermocouples that you can run through a reflow oven, for example, and then you c
