During the development in wave soldering in the mid sixties of the last century, we have seen wave soldering systems with horizontal conveyor systems and with angled conveyor systems. Finally it came out that the angled conveyor gave the best soldering results.
We will discuss from a process point of view the demands for soldering related to the conveyor angle, such as contact length, dwell time, soldering speed and drainage conditions.
