Pillarhouse Intros Selective Soldering Process Control
Chicago, IL — Pillarhouse has in- creased process control in selective soldering purity analysis at the noz- zle with its new Pillarhouse Closed Loop Nozzle Inertion Detector.
has developed an addition to its ex- isting oxygen analyzer option, which is available on the full range of ma- chines. Currently, the oxygen analyz- er will give the purity of the incoming Nitrogen in ppm and will stop the process if it is found to be outside of the control limits. The new Closed Loop
Nozzle Inertion Detector gives purity detection at the nozzle. This means that a comparison can be made between the known factory supply ppm level and the level at the point of soldering. Any changes or losses in purity can be investigated and logged. The method for using
Measuring nitrogen purity. One of the most important ele-
ments in ensuring good quality sol- der joints and consistent quality of solder is maintaining an inert atmos- phere. Inertion of the nozzle tip relies on a constant flow of high purity ni- trogen. Whether the Nitrogen is sup- plied from tanks, a cryogenic source or a generator, the Nitrogen purity must be 99.998 percent or better. Pil- larhouse generators produce Nitro- gen at a minimum of 50ppm and pro- vide an excellent atmosphere in which to solder. Regardless of the source, control
of the Nitrogen purity from arrival at the machine to the point of soldering is extremely important. The company
this detector is both simple and quick. Once the machine
has been taught the positioning for the “sniffer tube”, the operator can simply ask it to make a reading whenever it is necessary and within two minutes the results are shown on the PillarComm screen. The detec- tion system tube creates suction close to the nozzle, then the continuous sample is cooled and analyzed. This offers increased process control for users giving the ability to assess the impact quality of Nitrogen has on the
finished soldered joint. Contact: Pillarhouse USA, Inc.,
