For an continual quality control we are using optical emission spectroscopy to obtain the material analysis data which are essential for high accuracy and a long-lasting performance.This is a modern, reliable process that identifies even the smallest deviations in the composition of the solder bath and forms the basis for complete documentation. A professionally performed solder bath analysis also creates additional safety: Failures and defects in the solder are avoided, and subsequent dangers such as those arising from short circuits due to possible material defects are minimised.
Our very experienced experts also carry out solder bath analyses for testing purposes: These allow for the investigation and verification of the influences and causes of certain material changes that occur as a result of the use of a wide range of different types of PCBs and electrical or electronic components. Another exciting field of application for the material analysis is that of old solders and alloys in the restoration of old systems, machines or organs: In this field, we use our long-standing experience and background knowledge to establish the historically correct material compositions and to reproduce them as authentically as possible.
All benefits
Improved testing, improved productionVisualisation of the material’s chemical composition: Snapshot as documentation of the actual condition as well as a comparison with target parameters
Documentation: Traceable and legally compliant
Operational and strategic production planning and control: Early prevention of subsequent errors and customisation possibilities
Location of the introduction of foreign matter: Detection of possible harmful material mix-ups during the provision of foreign materials
Evidence of interactions: Improved monitoring of applications with new or unknown alloys and metals
Traceability of all production chains: Complete documentation of all production levels
With the additional wide-ranging options offered by solder bath management, we can support you in the continual monitoring of dynamic chemical compositions, which is a fundamental prerequisite for consistently high quality. At the same time, we make it easier and more systematic to analyse the causes of defects. We ask the crucial questions: Is the issue caused by a change in the alloy composition? Have defined limit values been exceeded or not met, and has this lead to production defects? Where did the defect first occur? It’s often a form of detective work, where potential defects are observed, analysed and investigated step by step, and holistic solutions developed.
