State Of The Art Wave Technology.

 

The Evolution 6 is designed to deliver zero defect soldering at high conveyor speeds with all flux types including conventional solvent based, water based, water soluble and VOC free; giving contract assemblers the freedom to change process technology easily.

 

 

Fluxing

A slide-out, EconoSPRAY pulsed spray fluxing system is fitted as standard offering the benefits of controlled, measured fluxing... the right amount of flux in the right place, every time.

 

Pre-heat

Central to the machine philosophy is the innovative combination of infrared and forced convection pre-heat in a 6 foot (1.85 metre) length. Split into three independently controlled zones for accurate temperature profiling, the convection is fully variable from 0 to 100% to cater for the evaporative demands of the differing flux technologies. Whatever the flux type or conveyor speed, the flux can be correctly conditioned for entry into the solder wave. Low solids fluxes require relatively low levels of convection to optimise entry conditions while water based formulae require higher levels of convection to remove the water phase.

 

Solder waves.

Independently controlled twin waves sit in the same frame to ensure co-planarity while the solder bath is engineered to ensure minimal surface agitation and minimise drossing.

 

The SmartChip wave uses natural resonance to agitate the wave and does not rely on moving parts. The main wave is lead free compliant and can easily be tuned to prevent the adhesion of dross from lead free solders on the underside of the assembly.

The whole solder module can be rolled out manually for ease of maintenance and can be fitted with motorised roll out as an option.

 

Process Control

Process control is by computer running Invicta's own SoldaVu software in a Windows environment and featuring graphic animation, limitless recipe storage, full  event logging and integral temperature profiling.                            

 

It also incorporates several innovative features, including on-board circuit diagram, parts list, maintenance procedure and operating manual text displays.

Operator interface is via a 10.4" touch screen mounted in a hinged console.

 

 

Construction   

The Chassis, based on a substantial box section skeletal welded construction is clad in lightweight aluminum panels and features a one piece, lift-up hood with total glass viewing area, large rear doors (which are hinged and lift off) together with lift off front access panels. This open architecture together with slide out fluxer assembly and roll out solder module allows maximum service accessibility.

 

Options

Options include the Rapier hot air knife debridging and non-destructive stress test system, nitrogen inerting and bar code reading for automatic machine set-up and board logging.

 

The Evolution incorporates the very latest in wave soldering technology to combine maximum yield with minimal maintenance and downtime in a small footprint. It incorporates feature flexibility to ensure compatibility with eco friendly water based fluxes and the forthcoming lead free solders.

 

Now Available - Evolution 4

 

The Evolution 4 is a value engineered version of the Evolution.  It incorporates 4 feet of pre-heat and a pallet conveyor making it ideal for lower volume throughput.
