Frank, ECD (WaveRIDER) and Datapaq (Optimiser) have wave solder machine process control devices. They will check the following: 1. Conveyor speed 2. Preheat Temps 3. Solder Temps 4. Wave Dwell/Contact Times 5. Wave Heights 6. Waves Parallelism Go

Manage the speed of the board and the speed of the wave to be nearly same at the point where the leads leave the wave.

I will try that next. I did speed up the wave pump motor with a larger pully(20% more speed) This was done at the time to try to increase the size of the wave because I had component leeds touching the wave pot as they passed by. Due to the wave high

Il ne pas de quois. Two most important parameters are: * Solder temperature * Dwell time Immersion depth [1/3 to 2/3 of board thickness] has the least impact of any variable in wave soldering.

It does sound like your leads are to long, speeding it up will reduce volume on lead and most will wick up the joint but when slow excess solder is left as long leads will have little flux left to aid drainage when it leaves the wave, thus giving a s

Hi, I currently work on SMT department to uptimize all process. I've just selected the solder paste after testing 15 different products. To be able to do that, I had to create a procedure to evaluate each paste and to be sure that my profil was per

I am glad this thread is still alive as I have a concern. I have just entered the wave soldering business after many years in smt. After wave I am getting icicles or flags on my component leeds. My temps seem to be all with in spec as does my NC flux

Frank-In addition (Dave gave some good scoop) we use a Pyrex Glass board to run through the wave. This is useful as you can see through the board .....you can watch the flux coverage, preheat, and Wave (be it Chip, lamda, or??) as it goes through the

Hi, All these guys have provided you good solid infos already! All I can say is that check your wave solder machine's mechanical set-up too...and the Molten Solder Level in the bath must be maintained at an accurate level/height specially after ded

Try using ECD Wave Rider. This system will helps you on taking the parameter of the machines. It will helps you. Let me have your eamil ID so that I can send some information to you with an attachment. Regards Danny Hui
