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

In today’s electronics manufacturing environment where small dimensions, assembly complexity and material performance variability are the norm, an in-control process can mean the difference between high yields or defects and profit or loss. Constant measurement, monitoring and verification are necessities if process success is the objective.

ECD’s award-winning M.O.L.E.® thermal profilers provide the most in-depth approach to yield-maximizing soldering operations: Definition of thermal process specifications is simplified with at-your-fingertips customizable templates and solder materials information; thermal profiles are measured thoroughly by tapping into as many as 20 channels of thermal data; and prediction and dynamic process visualization allow on-the-fly adaptability.

At ECD, our aim in designing a completely new technology for dry storage of moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) was to give you more: more capability, more flexibility, more reliability and more profitability. The result is SmartDRY™ Intelligent Dry Storage, a complete paradigm shift in MSD storage systems that is delivering on the production line and the bottom line.

ECD develops and provides professional engineering tools to help you make better products - right from the start. When it comes to building high-reliability assemblies, having more information up front helps ensure higher yields.

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.

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.
