Thermal Flux Sensing
The Thermal Flux Sensing system uses a PCB mounted thermistor. A controlled current is applied to the thermistor. This heats up the thermistor. When flux is sprayed and it hits the thermistor the thermistor cools slightly and this results in a change in the current. This change is read by the machine as ‘flux present’.

Thermal Nozzle Calibration
Using an imprint of the solder nozzle, on thermal paper, and with a scaled grid the Operator can manually correct the solder nozzle position to within 0.1mm.
Nitrogen Purity Analyser
Measures oxygen level in PPM at the solder nozzle.
Optical Flux Plume System
The Optical Flux Plume system uses a sensor mounted opposite an LED light source. A sponge pad is mounted above the Flux Plume Sensor assembly to absorb the flux spray during Plume Sensing operation. The Flux Head is positioned below and between the two sensors and the signal is first measured before the flux is fired. This measurement is held in a “sample and hold circuit”, while a second measurement is taken during flux firing. The two readings are then compared and the difference is used as a measurement of the Flux Plume. Threshold levels can be set at to provide an error message when the Flux Plume Reading is out of the threshold range.
