High quality solder joints low cost of ownership
Kirsten ‘the modula wave®’
‘There has been no revolutionary change in the wave soldering world for several years. Machines have evolved gradually but the technology has changed little. Modern users require the maximum efficiency from their factories and equipment and so Kirsten developed the modula wave®in order to make a revolutionary change that brings real and measurable benefits to its users.’
Kirsten hasincorporated the well-known jet wave soldering module into a fully modular system. Because the jet wave is a single wave, the risks from thermal shock are much lower than for twin wave systems. Modular control of each zone, or module, allows the optimum parameters of temperature profile to be set for each job. The result is not only variability in the various conveyor speeds so that preheating times are co-ordinated with the flux requirements and molten solder contact times are kept to a minimum but it also allows for factory expansion and the ability to rapidly interchange between one solder type and another by using modular solder carts.
Modular design
Almost all users of soldering systems need low operating costs, low maintenance, low energy costs, high flexibility and very low defect levels. the modula wave® not only achieves all of these but it adds to the list by offering modular expansion as factory needs dictate.
Minimum Configuration
There is a minimum configuration for practical use of the modula wave® which allows easy access to top quality solder joints but also shows remarkably low cost of ownership. Basic configuration: 1 input conveyor, 1 flux module, 1 preheater module, 1 solder module and 1 output conveyor.
Typical Configuration
3 input conveyor, 1 flux module, 2 preheater modules, 1 soldering module, 1 cooling module, 1 output conveyor, 2 elevators, return-conveyors below
