ACE: Wave Height Monitor Enhances Process Stability
Enhanced selective soldering wave.
Spokane Valley, WA — ACE Production Technologies, Inc. has developed and integrated a new wave height monitor and control module. This new control feature, installed on the company's KISS line of selective soldering equipment, can reportedly maintain solder wave heights to within ±0.005-in., critical for selectively soldering the smallest, tight pitch components.

When this new wave height monitoring circuit is combined with the company's precision nitrogen inerted solder delivery system and the availability of a nitrogen air-knife, the system provides all the tools needed to perform the most demanding selective soldering operations in a highly reliable, volume oriented production operation.

According to the company, the new capability is particularly effective when working with the smallest wave nozzle sizes, under 6mm down to 1.5mm, and selectively soldering tight pitch component areas. The monitoring methodology incorporates resistive measurements of wave height relative to a known reference. This is performed at programmable intervals during extended production runs, and closed-loop feedback is then used to automatically adjust solder pump speeds and therefore wave heights.
