Wave Exit Conveyor
A wave exit conveyor is a type of conveyor system used in the wave soldering process, which is a common method for soldering electronic components to printed circuit boards (PCBs). In wave soldering, the PCB is passed over a wave of molten solder, which creates solder joints between the components and the PCB.
The wave exit conveyor serves the purpose of transporting PCBs away from the wave soldering machine after the soldering process is complete. Here are the key features and functions of a wave exit conveyor.

- Heat Resistance: Since the wave soldering process involves exposure to high temperatures, the wave exit conveyor is designed to withstand heat without damage. Heat-resistant materials such as stainless steel are commonly used in the construction of these conveyors.
- Adjustable Speed: The conveyor’s speed can often be adjusted to match the pace of the wave soldering machine and ensure a smooth transition of PCBs from the soldering process to the conveyor.
- Cooling Zone: Some wave exit conveyors include a cooling zone where the PCBs can gradually cool down after passing through the wave soldering machine. This helps prevent damage to sensitive components due to thermal shock.
- Conveyor Belt: The conveyor typically features a flat or mesh conveyor belt that provides a stable surface for transporting PCBs. The belt may be made of materials that are resistant to solder and flux residues to ensure cleanliness.
- Inline Inspection: In some cases, wave exit conveyors are integrated with inspection stations where operators can visually inspect the solder joints on the PCBs for defects or imperfections. This ensures the quality of the soldering process before the PCBs move on to the next stage of production.
- Integration with Downstream Processes: The wave exit conveyor is often integrated into the larger production line, where PCBs may undergo further processing such as cleaning, testing, or assembly. Integration with downstream equipment ensures a seamless workflow and efficient production process.
Our wave exit conveyor plays a crucial role in the wave soldering process by safely transporting PCBs away from the soldering machine and facilitating their transition to subsequent stages of production.
