We are having problems with a specific lot of boards wave soldering. I need a way to prove the boards are bad, does anyone know a way to verify the amount of OSP coating on a board, or a company I can get to do it for me? I am using PBfree solder of

I am having problems achieving correct pre-heater temperatures with our Hollis solder wave. Our original "Verification Golden board" program uses a conveyor speed of 5ft per minute and pre-heat temps of 300, 350, 400 respectively. Our "golden Board"

How do you know your profiler is correct? Do you have a pyrometer you can verif the PCB temp with?

Yeah, we use the Mole also for setting up a new build but I was wondering about a quick validation. Thanks for your input.

Just wondering what everyone is using to verifiy Wave solder pre-heat temps before the wave. Temp dots seemed to be the way in the past but I'm wondering how many are using IR temp gun and if they have noticed any differences between the temp dot an

We always used a MOLE on our wave ovens. From what I know of temp dots, they let you know if a temp has been exceeded. The IR gun we had also had the limitation that the further away from the target, the broader the area being analyzed. Guess it b

I worked for Electrovert for 20 years as a machine designer. Our first computer controlled solder machine the Century 2000 used Infra red pyrometers that were very accurate - once you calibrated it against what you wanted to measure. So the aim and s

Good answer slthomas! This has got to be the biggest misconception out there. To perform SPC on a wave process you must first perfrom DOE to determine the critical parameters and or control limits. For example you will need temp reading devices tha

Hello there, I just want to ask you how often do you take your profiles on the Reflow Oven and Wave solder? I have a HMLV line running 5-6 products per shift (Reflow Oven & WS) my tech spend too much time checking the profile, but no major difference

It sounds like the process is very labor intensive, and all the verification is done after the parts are soldered. Assuming you are hand placing the components: 1 - Contact Systems semi-automatic placement machine. It show polarity when placing, so
