KNOW THE PAST… PREDICT THE FUTURE
The wave soldering process is one of the most challenging procedures to set up. The ECD WaveRIDER® NL 2 greatly simplifies wave solder set up and ensures perfect repeatability, time after time. Board recipe preheat temperatures, conveyor speed, wave height, contact times and parallelism are all measured and monitored using the WaveRIDER NL 2 process pallet.
Key Features
Dwell Sensors
● Time spent in immersion across the solder pot also provides critical Contact Length, Immersion Depth and Parallelism data. Manage (SPC) optimum and repeatable board-to-wave orientation, icicles mitigation, conveyor finger maintenance, adequate pot replenishment, auto-start and pump maintenance.
Speed Sensor
● Time delay between the “C” and Speed Sensors striking the main wave is used to calculate conveyor speed for every run to verify consistency (SPC) and catch an incorrect recipe setting. Creates event triggers for Coupon Sensors too.
Thermal Barrier
● This is the thermal protective barrier for the M.O.L.E.® thermal profiler
RIDER INDICATOR
● The Rider LED Indicates when SuperM.O.L.E.™ Gold 2 is connected to a WaveRIDER NL 2 test pallet. And when connected to a M.O.L.E.® EV6, a “RIDER“ symbol appears on the display. This also automatically sets the M.O.L.E.’s configuration.
Coupon Sensors
● Three thermocouples are aligned with the Speed Sensor. Coupon Top, Bottom and Solder record board temperatures, Preheat Max Temp (top side), Preheat Max Slope, Wave surface temperature and Delta T at Wave. Provide key wave soldering measurements to verify machine readiness for production (SPC).
REPLACEABLE TEST COUPON
● Polyimide 3-thermocouple circuit board. Newly designed it now includes an anchor which fixes the “Solder” sensor at a 2mm [0.08”] depth. This provides optimum repeatability and a better representation of solder temperatures.
