mySelective 6748 selective soldering system now features a wave height measurement system. Ensures a specific predetermined wave height for every PCB by automatically adjusting the solder pump RPMs. Uses a laser-based sensor to detect, measure, and monitor SelectWave height. Is said to prevent loss of cycle time. Stores individual PCB settings in the management info database. Combines SelectWave and MultiWave soldering technology; has on-the-fly reconfigurability, inline fluxing and preheating.
 

Thirteen Conap Conathane UL Relative Thermal Index (RTI) 120°C polyurethane potting compounds and encapsulants are available. Are said to be for applications in the -65° to 130°C temperature range, such as encapsulating modules, strain sensitive circuitry, transformers and coils. Range in hardness from 65 Shore A to 70 Shore D, and cure at process speeds from 7 min. to several hours.
