SEHO Systems recently débuted its new PowerWave N2 wave soldering system with the SEHO tunnel concept for reduced nitrogen and energy consumption.
The machine is equipped with a special stainless steel, closed tunnel system resulting in low nitrogen consumption. The innovative tunnel insulation ensures very high energy efficiency to lower production costs. Hinged heat-resistant glass covers not only make for an attractive design but also allow for accessibility to all machine areas.
The PowerWave N2 features a fluxer unit designed to reduce flux consumption and lower low maintenance requirements. The spray fluxer with HVLP (high-volume, low pressure) technology ensures a stable spray jet and a very precise spray pattern even at the outer edges of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This allows a reproducible fluxing process with considerably reduced flux consumption. Additionally, alcohol-based as well as water-based fluxes can be processed without any problems.
The flexible preheating zone configuration with an active length of 1800 mm enables the system to be customised to specific production needs. Depending on the requirements, the machine may be equipped with infrared heating zones, immediately reacting quartz emitters or with convection heating modules.
The IR preheat zones ensure even heating of the entire assembly while quartz heaters make for quick heat transfer and compensate temperature differences because of unequal mass proportion within the assembly. Each preheat zone can be adjusted individually and is separately monitored and controlled.
The heart of the PowerWave N2 – the soldering area – offers a flexible configuration with innovative, up-to-date wave formers combined with an ideal nitrogen atmosphere to ensure optimum soldering results. Programmable, automatic height adjustment of the solder nozzles adds to the system’s flexibility. Additionally, the machine is well suited for processing lead-free solder alloys.
The PowerWave N2 is equipped with a state-of-the-art control unit concept and incorporates features that ensure comfortable and continuous control of the machine and process data. Operation is made simple with a touch display featuring process visualisation and an interactive graphic user interface.
