The solder wave height monitor is able to measure and display the height of
a smooth or turbulent solder wave to an accuracy of ± 0.1mm. It can be
fitted to all makes of wave soldering machine and can be linked into the pump
control circuit to provide closed loop control of wave height.
A high precision capacitive sensor mounted above the wave surface is linked
to conditioning electronics mounted up to 2m away. This allows the main control
unit and display unit to be situated in a convenient location up to 10m away. A
linearising algorithm within the control unit combined with a temperature
stable reference capacitance in the conditioning electronics provides a highly
reliable indication of absolute or relative wave height.
