ECD has announced the introduction of a new product in its line of thermal profiling products. Designed to complement both board profilers such as the 20-channel MEGAM.O.L.E.20 and the SuperM.O.L.E. Gold, and oven profilers such as OvenRIDER and OvenWatch, the new V-M.O.L.E. provides a fast, easy and affordable way to both verify and specify thermal profiles. Among thermal profilers, unique to the V-M.O.L.E. and MEGAM.O.L.E.20 is the ability for an engineer to pre-define the profile ‘Go/No-Go’ criteria, while the production operator verifies with the push of a button.
The OK button gives one-touch profile verification with a clear green (Go) or red (No-Go) signal right on the profiler. In addition, operators are given warnings on battery, core temperature and TC connectivity to eliminate wasted runs. One of the problems encountered with high-volume runs is the repeated profiling of the same prototype PCB to assure that target profiles are met. The V-M.O.L.E. enables simplified verification of a target profile through strategic placement of a minimal number of thermocouples. This saves time in TC attachment, and cost in TC replacement.
V-M.O.L.E. is powered by ECD’s MAP software, which can also process data from non-ECD profilers/data-loggers.
