PROwave - Soldering Process Analyser

PROwave working together with the

PROfiler range of thermal profiling

data loggers, will monitor, analyse and

report all critical parameters of your

wave soldering process.

Send the PROwave pallet through

your wave soldering machine and

accurate measurements of key

process parameters are recorded

for download to a PC.

Wave Soldering Process Analyser

“PROwave” allows you to quickly

and efficiently perform quality and

diagnostic checks resulting in:

• Improved process quality

• Reduction rework and production

  costs

• Reduced machine downtime

• Increased process traceability on

  all key process parameters

Improve wave solder process performance and quality

• A patented system using an array of titanium probes

  provides critical wave information

• The solder wave is monitored across its entire width,

  now making it possible to detect voiding or machine

  parameter fluctuations at points all along the wave.

• Monitor and analyse up to 6 channels of thermal profile

  information with the Thermal Profiling Data Logger - “PROfiler”

• View 2D solder wave contact area map and dwell time

  graphs on screen

• Analyse pre-heat temperatures, conveyor speed and

  parallelism

• Save and print a complete record of your process with the

  PC software

The measurements taken during the run are used

to construct a 2D contact area map.

Overlay previous profiles to analyse

the repeatability of your process.

Print a comprehensive SPC report

providing, dwelling times, belt speed,

min/max temperatures along with

many more key parameters.
