OmniCheck delivers redundant check on process temperatures and belt speed for reflow ovens while also providing data tracking and monitoring of process parameters. Operators can specify alarms and set points to direct system to take action, such as audible alarm, hard stop, soft stop, or ignore if redundant thermocouples or redundant conveyor speed exceeds process setting. System is offered as option on Electrovert OmniExcel® series ovens or as upgrade to existing equipment.



Original Press Release:



New OmniCheck Monitoring System Provides Cost-Effective, Redundant Check on Temperature and Belt Speed in Electrovert Reflow Ovens



FRANKLIN, MASSACHUSETTS, USA, February 22, 2005 - Speedline Technologies' new OmniCheck monitoring system delivers a cost-effective, redundant check on process temperatures and conveyor belt speed for its Electrovert line of reflow ovens.

The solution also provides both extensive data tracking and monitoring capabilities of the process parameters. The OmniCheck system is immediately available as an option on the new Electrovert OmniExcel® series ovens, or as an upgrade to existing, installed equipment, including the OmniFlo® series.

Configuration and use is easy and intuitive. Each recipe may be individually configured, and requires only a one-time set-up. Each time an assembly recipe is loaded into the system, the OmniCheck will also load and become operative.

Operators can specify alarms and set points to direct the system to take a specified action - audible alarm, hard stop, soft stop, or ignore - if any of the redundant thermocouples (TC's) or the redundant conveyor speed exceeds the process band setting.

The system includes process temperature probe with a TC mounted within each heating and cooling zone. This TC will monitor the process temperatures and give an additional level of process monitoring with independent alarms and data logging. Conveyor speed is also independently monitored from the system conveyor speed control.

Operators may also enable the OmniExcel's extensive data logging feature to capture redundant monitoring data for later review. This standard feature within all OmniExcel ovens will log all system set points, actual, and process data into a user specified file. For security, the entire system is password protected.

To maximize uptime, convenient RemoteTech(TM) software allows direct access to the all OmniExcel systems. Once access is allowed to the equipment, Speedline experts can view the operating equipment conditions in real time from the support center. This enables the support center to remotely diagnose and solve equipment and application problems, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Speedline Technologies officially introduced the new OmniCheck monitoring system at the APEX 2005 Expo, held February 22-24, 2005, in Anaheim, Calif. The system is available immediately from Speedline distributors and representatives. For additional information, contact Speedline Technologies at 1-508-520-0083 or visit www.speedlinetech.com.
