NEWLY Introduced for the ultimate in process control

NEWLY Introduced for the ultimate in process control!

Heller and ECD are proud to introduce 3 powerful new tools for process monitoring SPC data gathering. Working in partnership, Heller and ECD have developed this revolutionary Cpk / SPC program with 3 levels of process control and feedback that can immediately provide the following benefits:

Watches your Reflow process for you
Enables audit recall down to board level to your clients
Recall reflow data for Playback by part number, Board In/out and other search criteria for ISO and customer audit trace-ability
Immediate notification of any out of spec conditions
Engineers can automatically be notified by pager or e-mail
Dramatically reduce scrap and re-work
KNOW that the assemblies have been processed within spec and have the DATA to prove it!

Tier 1: Oven Cpk
Now a standard feature with every Heller oven, the Oven Cpk software monitors each zone in the system and captures variations in temperature over time to determine both individual zone Cpk and overall oven Cpk data. (See Fig 1) Includes:

Continuous temperature monitoring of each heated zone
Automatic Cpk calculation for each heated zone
Automatic calculation for Overall Oven Cpk
X-Bar and Standard Deviation calculations
Integrated graphing of up to the last 50 temperature data points
Automatic notification of any out of spec occurrences with precise zone location indication

With this innovative tool, you will have real time feedback of the oven’s performance and constant assurance that the oven is performing within the desired specifications.

Continuous Product Quality Monitoring

Tier 2—Process Cpk with the Oven Watch System
OvenWATCH is designed to continuously monitor the quality of PCB assemblies as they pass through the Heller oven. OvenWATCH can provide you and your customers with the confidence of knowing that the quality of your PCB assemblies is being monitored 24 hours per day…..365 days per year.

Continuous 24-hr product quality monitoring
Board dynamic profile generation without attaching thermocouples
Automatic SPC Analysis & Alert Reporting
Archiving of the dynamic profile of each pcb processed for later playback
Remote alarm capability for off-site troubleshooting
Provides your customers with proof of your product quality

Tier 3 – Product Traceability
With the product trace-ability feature all PCB’s and assemblies are time stamped and stored for recall at any time for any assembly. (see Fig 2)
Each product receives:

Positive part identification by P/N, solder paste, baseline profile and product photo
Board Level Traceability of Reflow Soldering conditions
Recall of all data and parameters for ISO and customer audits

Summary
With this dynamic 3 tiered system you will be able to quickly improve product quality and yield while reducing costs. And the additional benefits of automatic record keeping and recall provide you and your customers with the peace of mind that all process parameters are under control and within spec while you project a high quality culture to your High Reliability customers.
