SOLDERSTAR REFLOW SHUTTLE

SolderStar’s new Reflow Shuttle Process measurement solution provide the platform for advanced and repeatable machine verification. Each shuttle features the Smartlink system to quickly connect your SLX datalogger.

Measurements are auto configured removing the need for computer set-up, making them an ideal tool for daily checking by all levels of user within the production environment. Process specific instrumentation installed to each shuttle type enables the capture of all key parameters from soldering machines with a single pass through. Advanced parameters such as conveyor vibration, reflow vacuum level and oxygen PPM are measured alongside standard temperature profiles.

Can be purchased with an SLX datalogger or as a standalone option if you already have a SLX Datalogger on-site .

Temperature Profile Performance
The reflow shuttle is fitted with an array of sensors for independent measurement of advanced process parameters required for modern reflow soldering applications.
Temperature profile verification is achieved with an array of type-K sensors arranged to measure top and bottom heater performance. At the front of the shuttle are matched temperature sensors which provide information regarding uniformity of heating across the width of the heated zone.

Process Vibration Measurement
Process vibration measurement is a requirement for many manufacturers, to establish a baseline of acceptable levels in all 3-axis within the machine. Data captured can allow the engineer to see the effect of fan speed settings on vibration/harmonics in the process, along with detection of changes in vibration levels due to issues with the machine conveyor or extraction system.

O2 Measurement Module
Compatible with an optional O2 Measurement Module (must be ordered at same time as Reflow Shuttle). Provides zone by zone analysis of oxygen levels throughout the reflow process. Issues with nitrogen leakage throughout the oven are pin pointed as the device captures and displays the oxygen PPM level alongside the oven zone diagram and temperature profile.

Process Vacuum Measurement
Compatible with an optional Vacuum Measurement Module (must be ordered at same time as Reflow Shuttle). Where a vacuum stage is added to the reflow process, an optional measurement module is fitted to the reflow shuttle allowing verification of vacuum levels down to 10 mbar. Vacuum profiles are captured and displayed as an overlay with the PCB temperature profile. Hold time below a desired level vacuum level, pull down and release rates are calculated – essential for ensuring that component shift does not occurs.
