ACE real-time temperature data logger permits placement of up to six thermocouples at critical locations on a board to obtain topside printed circuit board temperature readings. Inputs process information to soldering machine control software. Automatically correlates actual topside PCB readings with the infrared pyrometer that controls the preheat system and can directly control the preheater, if desired. Thermal data from all seven channels – six PCB thermocouples and the preheat control IR pyrometer – can be plotted and imported into a spreadsheet or other database program for further analysis graphical examination. Is compatible with advanced ACE selective soldering machines.
