NOW there is OvenRIDER® NL for your lead free soldering needs. Click here to get the Data sheet and Click here to get the news release.
OvenRIDER SPC software has the same look and feel as the SMG SPC you
are already familiar with. Statistical Process Control is implemented
by parameter for each oven zone. Just pick a parameter and track it, it's
that simple. |

- OvenRIDER® is Faster - Plug in your SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold, press
start and collect data from your reflow oven
- OvenRIDER is Easier - No Thermocouples to Attach
- OvenRIDER is Inexpensive - it uses the SuperM.O.L.E. Gold you already
have
- OvenRIDER is Popular - chances are that the manufacturer of your reflow
oven uses the OvenRIDER to test the oven's characteristics prior to
shipment
- OvenRIDER is Superior to a printed circuit board assembly as a "Golden
Board"
- Remains physically stable so the data remains reliable, unlike
a circuit board that degrades after 5 or 6 runs
- Verifies correct Conveyor speed - bet your golden board can't
do that!
- Measures temperatures in each zone left, center and right with
built-in thermocouples
- Tells you when a convection fan is out or an incorrect convection
rate has been set with built-in heat-flow sensors
- Once the process is developed with circuit board profiling, you
can profile your oven running that recipe instead of the board with
an OvenRIDER
- OvenRIDER provides a Go/No-Go screen to the operator. Data is color
coded Blue [below lower Spec limit], Black [within specification], or
Red [above upper Spec limit] for quick and easy oven conditions verification
- a great 'First-Off' tool
- OvenRIDER's additional Statistical Process Control functionality alerts
you to adverse trends before scrap is produced, so it pays for itself
quickly
- A complete product, OvenRIDER is portable so it can be used with multiple
ovens to create a unified quality control data stream of X-Bar R charts
and Cp & CpK process capability indices without resorting to 3rd
party software

Overview
For the first time, actual reflow oven performance can be quantified by the
OvenRIDER® from ECD.
The OvenRIDER® is an innovative system for providing critical setup and
performance data of reflow ovens. The OvenRIDER® captures continuous process
data for air temperature, heat flow (the oven's ability to transfer heat to
an object), zone location and conveyor speed. A companion statistical process
control (SPC) software application provides powerful
SPC tools for analysis and reporting of the oven's performance data captured
by the OvenRIDER®.
The OvenRIDER® is run through the reflow oven to capture a "signature"
for the established profile or settings. On subsequent hours, days, months or years, the
OvenRIDER®'s measurements will be the same as those of the "signature" if
all oven parameters are the same. The OvenRIDER® detects all reflow oven changes,
including changes in: zone temperatures, heater efficiency, conveyor speed, convection fan
efficiency, fan failure and exhaust restrictions. The OvenRIDER® measures the TOTAL
reflow oven process, not just a few of the parameters such as air temperature.
Quick and Easy to Use
The OvenRIDER® is a self-contained system that "rides" through
the reflow oven like a normal PCB being processed. Pallet widths of 6.6, 12
or 18 inches (168, 305 or 458 mm) are standard. To match your specific process,
custom width pallets are also available. The minimum width is 6.6 inches (168
mm).
- Place the OvenRIDER® in your reflow oven as you would a PCB.
- After traveling through the oven, remove the OvenRIDER®; and connect
the M.O.L.E.® to a PC that is operating the OvenRIDER® SPC Software.
- Download the captured data set.
- View the Report page for immediate "go/no-go" analysis with parameters
that are color-coded to alert you of parameters that exceed user specified
control limits.
The OvenRIDER® pallet contains sensors that detect the location of each
heating zone and allow calculation of the conveyor speed. This greatly enhances
ease of use because you no longer have to estimate process origin, zone size,
process completion and conveyor speed. The OvenRIDER® and OvenRIDER®
SPC Software automatically measure, quantify and calculate critical reflow
oven performance parameters.
Built on the Industry Standard SuperM.O.L.E.®
Gold Temperature Profiler
The OvenRIDER®; system consists of a special pallet and the SPC
Analysis Software. Your SuperM.O.L.E.®
Gold fits into a protective thermal barrier contained on the pallet. The SuperM.O.L.E.®
Gold performs the actual measurements and stores the data for later download
into the SPC Analysis Software for analysis, reporting and SPC charting.
Protect Your Process and Your Investment
The
OvenRIDER® is unequaled in keeping your reflow soldering process and your
budget under control. The OvenRIDER® will allow you to control your reflow
process, lower your rework and overall manufacturing costs by quantifying your
process. With a defined process, a strategy for reducing defects is possible.
Use your SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold in the OvenRIDER®
to profile the PCB being processed. Once the profile is complete and the reflow
oven settings established, place the SuperM.O.L.E.®
Gold in the OvenRIDER® pallet. Pass the OvenRIDER® through the oven
to capture the OvenRIDER®'s "signature" for the specific oven
settings. Download the OvenRIDER® data into its companion SPC software for
statistical process control.
Don't limit the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold and
OvenRIDER® to your reflow soldering process. ECD offers a full range of accessories
for the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold:
- Add the RF option, SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold RF, for
instant access to temperature profiling data.
- Add an ultraviolet (UV) energy sensor for profiling processes dependent on UV energy.
- Add the WaveRIDER®
NL pallet to measure critical parameters of a wave solder machine.
No other product family offers such flexibility and the ability to address
your total electronics manufacturing process control.
