OvenSENTINEL, ECD’s distinctive reflow soldering continuous monitoring technology, was honoured with a Global Technology Award just as its second-generation version is set to hit the market. The award highlighted OvenSENTINEL’s top ranking in the process control software category based on the innovation’s unique feature set.
Differentiated from standard reflow monitoring systems, OvenSENTINEL can be customised to measure multiple aspects of the reflow process that may impact quality and reliability. Some of these include oxygen parts per million (ppm), convection fan speed, air pressure, exhaust flow or pressure, and energy consumption, to name a few. OvenSENTINEL’s extended measurements allow for a more complete traceability record, providing proof that all critical aspects of the reflow process are working within specification.
Unique features of OvenSENTINEL include an industry-first, extended sensor network, integration with ECD’s powerful M.O.L.E. MAP Software, dual-lane oven support and advanced automation, and an MSSQL database with human-readable tables.
