WaveShuttle PRO Selective

The SolderStar WaveShuttle Selective has been specifically engineered for the daily testing of Mini-Wave Selective soldering machines. A uniquely configured array of titanium wave contact sensors is positioned on the underside of this measurement fixture, enabling quick and comprehensive verification of machine functionality.

Nozzle strikes on clinched components or the PCB, often caused by PCB warp or general tolerances can cause the positioning mechanism of the machine to become misaligned. The X and Y positioning mechanism and speed are verified by sweeping the selective soldering nozzles between predefined datums. Additionally, an array of stepped contact sensors is employed to ensure nozzle wave height measurements are accurately captured and periodically verified.

Key System Features

  • Verification of X/Y speed and positioning
  • Measurement of nozzle solder height
  • All-titanium wave contact measurement
  • Optional flux measurement integration
  • Dedicated pre-heat and solder temperature measurement sensors
  • Custom widths and sensor positions available for fixed-width production lines or special applications
  • Dedicated Wave Central PC analysis software with an integrated SPC charting package
Key Features
Flux Sensing
Flux Sensing

When crystallization occurs in the selective fluxer nozzle, mis-fluxing of components can happen, leading to poor wetting issues or leaving unactivated flux on areas of the assembly. To combat this problem, SolderStar has developed flux measurement sensors that can be optionally installed on the measurement fixture. This integration allows flux presence and position to be verified as part of daily tests.

Date Capture and Analysis
Date Capture and Analysis

Captured data is downloaded via a USB or wireless interface for immediate analysis on the engineer's computer. All parameters can be quickly analyzed. Furthermore, the unique Solderstar Process Checker functions allow good/bad limits to be defined, enabling periodic process verification to be performed seamlessly without the need for specialist knowledge.

The WaveShuttle Pro is supplied with Wave Central PC Software, a dedicated package designed for the analysis of all key wave soldering parameters. Based on SolderStar’s standard interface and navigation system, it allows users of other SolderStar products to perform detailed wave solder analysis with minimal training.
