The SolderStar Selective Solder Optimizer provides a fast, reliable way to analyse, verify, and fine‑tune the performance of mini‑wave selective soldering machines. Designed for daily testing, it captures all critical parameters needed to maintain accurate nozzle positioning, correct wave height, and consistent flux application across production.
✔ A Purpose‑Built Fixture for Selective Solder Machine Accuracy
The Selective Solder Optimizer integrates specialised sensing technology into a rugged measurement fixture. Each slide below highlights how the system captures and verifies selective solder performance.
✔ Titanium Wave Contact Sensor Array
A precisely arranged underside array of titanium contact sensors measures wave height and verifies nozzle performance, ensuring the machine delivers consistent soldering results.
✔ X/Y Positioning and Speed Verification
By sweeping the soldering nozzles between predefined datums, the system checks for misalignment caused by PCB warp, clinched components, or mechanical drift — confirming both position accuracy and movement speed.
✔ Optional Flux Presence Sensing
Optional flux sensors detect flux position and coverage, helping identify crystallisation or nozzle blockage that could lead to mis‑fluxing and poor wetting.
✔ Fast Data Capture and Analysis
All measurements are downloaded via USB or wireless interface and analysed using SolderStar’s Process Checker tools, enabling quick good/bad evaluation without specialist knowledge.
Explore the core capabilities that make the Selective Solder Optimizer essential for accurate, repeatable selective soldering performance.
✔ Wave Height & Nozzle Verification
Stepped titanium sensors measure wave height and confirm nozzle performance, ensuring consistent solder contact.
✔ X/Y Alignment & Speed Checking
The system verifies positioning accuracy and movement speed to detect misalignment caused by mechanical wear or PCB tolerances.
✔ Optional Flux Measurement
Flux presence and position can be monitored to prevent mis‑fluxing caused by crystallised or partially blocked fluxer nozzles.
✔ Fast, Clear Process Analysis
Captured data is reviewed using SolderStar’s Process Checker tools, enabling quick pass/fail decisions and ongoing process control.
✔ The Selective Solder Optimizer provides all essential measurements needed to maintain consistent selective soldering performance. Its underside array of titanium contact sensors captures wave height and nozzle behaviour with precision, while predefined datums allow the system to verify X/Y positioning accuracy and movement speed. This ensures that issues caused by PCB warp, clinched components, or mechanical drift are identified before affecting production quality.
✔ To support stable soldering results, the system can be equipped with optional flux sensors detecting flux presence and position. This helps engineers quickly identify crystallisation or partial blockage in the fluxer nozzle — common issues that lead to mis‑fluxing, poor wetting, or unactivated flux residues. Combined with stepped contact sensors for wave height verification, the fixture provides a complete picture of nozzle and flux performance during daily checks.
✔ All captured data is transferred via USB or wireless interface and analysed using SolderStar’s intuitive software tools. Engineers can review measurements, apply good/bad limits, and verify machine stability without requiring specialist knowledge. With fast analysis and clear visual indicators, the system makes daily optimisation simple, repeatable, and highly effective.
