ECD M.O.L.E.® Thermal Profiling - Email Blast

As most assemblers know, once moisture sensitive devices (MSDs) are exposed to ambient conditions, the clock starts ticking on their floor life. Turning back time or resetting the floor life, so that parts are once again compliant with the latest J-STD-033D (just released in Q2 2018), is a function of effectively drying the parts. But beware the claims – so-called “studies” – about how this is achieved.

Your investment in the most advanced and affordable dry storage technology is completely tariff-free. That’s because the market-leading SmartDRY™ Intelligent Dry Storage portfolio is made in the USA. In fact, SmartDRY are the ONLY desiccant dry storage cabinets designed and built in America. Not only will you get American-made quality, but your operation will benefit from SmartDRY’s incredible feature set – included on ALL cabinets as standard with no additional cost. Check out these productivity-enhancing benefits:

Literally. But, what is the most effective way to attach thermocouples for the best performance? Like a lot of process techniques, the thermocouple connection method employed often comes down to personal preference, cost and convenience. As the company that pioneered in-transit thermal profiling technology, ECD knows a thing or two about thermocouples and thought we’d share our experience with the below tips.

It’s all over the news:

It’s the things you can’t see that you have to worry about, especially in manufacturing. Wave and reflow ovens are often dynamic and any changes to the soldering process may result in lost time, yield and profit. Without visual clues, it’s almost impossible to tell if something is out of spec – unless, of course, you verify performance.

Let ECD help you kick off the summer season with our celebration of quality products, made in the USA! From now through July 4th, ECD gives your bottom line a boost with four special pricing offers that are sure to raise productivity and improve yield.

Summer’s heat will soon be upon us, but don’t wait for soaring temperatures and high humidity to wreak havoc on your MSDs. Prepare NOW for the inevitable thermometer-raising conditions with the installation of an ECD SmartDRY™ Intelligent Dry Storage system in your factory. With new productivity enhancing features such as redesigned doors for easier access, touch screen control and convenient combination locks, SmartDRY is smarter than ever. Of course, all of SmartDRY’s original advantages are still leading the market:

No matter what the application, there’s a M.O.L.E.® thermal profiler to satisfy your requirements – from standard SMT to extremely complex assemblies. As the developer of the first in-transit thermal profiling system over 30 years ago, ECD has continued to innovate and deliver leading-edge software, new M.O.L.E. designs and maximum capability. Today, our portfolio of M.O.L.E. systems is the industry’s most trusted, with a broad selection of products for varying manufacturing environments.

ECD’s SmartDRY™ Intelligent Dry Storage system has exceeded expectations – from its impact on customer J-STD compliance and productivity to the growth it has experienced since being introduced to the market just a few short years ago. Indeed, high-reliability manufacturers have a choice and they overwhelmingly choose SmartDRY for storage of MSDs.

Continuous monitoring, total traceability and true reflow profile confirmation were on show last week at APEX, as ECD successfully debuted its new OvenSENTINEL™ technology. Delivering one true profile of the PCB’s entire journey through the reflow system, OvenSENTINEL’s dynamic process measurement capability ensures traceability down to the board and profile specification level. For high reliability applications, OvenSENTINEL offers the most robust monitoring, data generation and reporting to maximize yields and profitability.
