ITW EAE Introduces Auto Exit Wing Feature for Electrovert® Wave Soldering Machines

Nov 21, 2022 | ITW EAE is releasing a new feature for the Electrovert Wave Soldering machines that provides automatic adjustment of the laminar wave flow to match the board velocity. To fully optimize the flow dynamics of the laminar wave, the velocity of the PCB needs to equal the flow of the solder over the weir of the exit wing. When the wave flow is fully optimized, the PCB 'peels' away from the solder which minimizes the opportunity for bridging defects to occur.

Camalot Announces PCB Temperature Monitoring on Prodigy Dispenser to Ensure Underfill Process Stability

Apr 14, 2020 | ITW EAE is introducing a patent pending option for the Camalot Prodigy dispenser that was developed to ensure process stability and increase yields for underfill applications. In applications where board heat is required, a constant product temperature through the dispense process is critical to ensure process stability and repeatability. Underfill materials vary in viscosity and filler types, therefore the heat requirement for the board also varies.

The Camalot® Prodigy™ dispensing system employs breakthrough technology innovations to enable higher process speeds, more precise accuracies, tighter tolerances, and higher yields. A state-of-the-art X Y gantry system is the heart of this next generation dispenser.
