Regardless of the recipe and what your oven’s controls indicate, what your PCB actually experiences at board-level as it goes through the oven can be SIGNIFICANTLY different. Achieve convection reflow oven Verification by separating zonal temperatures from convective heat flow efficiency while verifying conveyor speed for a true picture of oven Lead-Free performance consistency.
Profile the oven instead of the circuit board to ensure the reflow oven is capable of continually performing your board recipes. Built-In Statistical Process Control makes OvenRIDER® NL 2+ a superior ‘First-Off’ tool compared to an overused ‘Golden Board’, with no thermocouples to attach. The pallet material is designed to withstand thousands of passes through the oven – try that with a PCB!
The patented OvenRIDER® NL 2+ travels through your oven with a M.O.L.E.® inside collecting data for analysis and SPC charting. A combination of thermal and process sensors measure oven performance, delivering consistent data that can be used to identify modest trends which may be developing, or serious conditions that have already arrived. Simple PCB profiling cannot detect all the subtleties which can have a profound effect on PCB production quality.
Features:
- Higher temperature rated pallet material: 280°C continuous, 300°C maximum for a longer pallet life
- Brighter color for better optical sensor board detection
- Ambient sensor guards that reduce inadvertent sensor damage from handling
- New thermal barrier cover latch for positive lid closure to reduce the risk of M.O.L.E.® profiler damage due to over temperature or mishandling
- Provides Go/NO-Go data for the operator
- Measures true oven performance
- SPC predicts performance – reduces rework/scrap
- Simple, objective data – removes interpretation
- Self contained, simple to use – reduces downtime
- Automatic SPC report – reduces engineering time
- CP and Cpk – capability indices – calculated and presented automatically
- Assures relatable oven performance
