1. The main menu provides access to all the main sections of the
CD-ROM. On completion of any section you will return to this screen to access another
section or exit the program
2. Each stage of the wave soldering process is covered with
individual sections including fluxing, pre-heat, wave solder and conveyorisation. This
example shows the fluxing stage explaining all the different fluxing systems, photographs
of these systems and, where available, video clips of the operation.
3. This section is devoted to setting up the process and covers a
practical guide to setting process parameters for fluxing, pre-heat and solder wave
operation. It covers the set up of spray fluxing and what to expect from the process.
4. PPM logging is the most common form of defect monitoring used in
the industry today. A procedure for monitoring process defects is provided in this section
together with detailed step by step calculation of solder joint defects.
5. An example of one of the data collection forms which are provided
as a separate file on this CD-ROM.
6. It is important to conduct periodic checks on the soldering
process. A procedure for each of the process control tests is provided in this section and
covers solder analysis, temperature monitoring, conveyor speed checks and solder wave
contact assessment.
7. The defect browser allows access to a range of common defects
seen during wave soldering.
8. Clicking on each picture enlarges the photograph and gives a
description of the cause of the defect.
