Speedline ELECTROVERT has launched a new high-speed, user-friendly wave soldering system ­ Vectra™ (Plate 3).

Changing market dynamics demand the use and introduction of technology that has the capacity to respond to, and anticipate, market movement. Speedline ELECTROVERT identified its customers' manufacturing process demands and combined sound engineering principles to develop Vectra™.

This new system is capable of soldering all types of PCBs including densely populated and difficult-to-solder SMT boards, and is the perfect soldering solution for medium to high-volume production environments, which require fast changeover, process flexibility and system reliability. Vectra's advanced design modularity is a significant advantage for electronics manufacturers.

The system's fluxer module is mounted in a slide-out drawer inside a fluxer cradle that enables a high degree of interchangeability and provides a quick conversion from one type of fluxer to another. Additionally, Vectra introduces a new interchangeable preheater technology that permits easy conversion from radiant to convection by sliding out and exchanging the panels. Maintenance on the Vectra is quick and easy with strategically placed access doors throughout the system.

Vectra integrates proven technology and processing capabilities, with new standard features, additional options and enhanced data acquisition software. The new system incorporates a Windows NT operating system that simplifies application programming and allows for operator multi-tasking. Additionally, real-time graphic animation and data windows enable full and accurate process control, including the ability to process various boards of up to 457mm (18in.).
