Wave or selective soldering that is the question is the title of the SMART Group seminar being held in Scotland on 6 November, and SolderStar Ltd, world leading specialist manufacturer in the design and development of thermal profiling equipment for the lead-free electronics industry, will help in trying to answer this question when they exhibit their latest products.

The one day seminar will look at how selective or wave soldering is influenced by a variety of factors. SolderStar will be offering advice and information on their latest products and how they are helping in electronics production.

Mark Stansfield, managing director at SolderStar Ltd said:The seminar is the perfect opportunity to meet with those in the electronics industry looking for answers to their soldering needs. We will be exhibiting our latest products, including our latest systems for the analysis of mini-wave and multi-wave selective soldering processes.

Our dedicated selective solutions have been in the market for 3 years now and over that time we have improved and evolved the product and it is now in its 2nd generation of design. It provides the most comprehensive measurement of all key process parameters with a single pass through the machine, and together with our software it is very user-friendly. It is also unique in that it does not rely solely upon thermocouple sensors to measure process information. The latest evolution of this product also has the capability to detect flux spray position, allowing a complete process measure to be achieved with one testing run. We are looking forward to introducing our range of products to visitors and we will be on-hand to offer advice and provide recommendations on what products from the SolderStar portfolio would meet an individual customers requirements.

The WaveShuttle Selective is an intelligent pallet specifically designed for selective soldering analysis. It has been developed to include its own on-board measurement system which incorporates titanium sensors on the underside which gather data on contact parameters as it moves through the solder wave. By using this system a higher performance is achieved with measurement accuracy and repeatability. Adding to the benefits it also provides a single datalogger solution which is flexible and can be expanded to every process as required.

SolderStar will be available throughout the seminar to answer questions and provide information and recommendations on products to meet a customers soldering requirements. For further information visit www.solderstar.eu
