Measuring and Controlling Wave Height and Dwell Time

The system uses eddy current technology that has a high degree of immunity to the hostile operating environment near the solder wave. Measurement of the solder wave's intrusion into the sensor's magnetic field is converted to a voltage proportional to the distance between the sensor and so...

Description
Summary:The system uses eddy current technology that has a high degree of immunity to the hostile operating environment near the solder wave. Measurement of the solder wave's intrusion into the sensor's magnetic field is converted to a voltage proportional to the distance between the sensor and solder wave. This voltage is interpreted by software and converted to a reading that represents the solder wave surface in relation to a PCB supported by the conveyor fingers.
