Abstract

See full text

A wave soldering machine includes a housing and a conveyor configured to deliver a printed circuit board through the housing. The wave soldering machine further includes a wave soldering station coupled to the housing. The wave soldering station includes a reservoir of solder material, and a wave solder nozzle assembly configured to create a solder wave. The wave solder nozzle assembly has a nozzle core frame and an exit wing, the exit wing being rotatable about a hinge with respect to the nozzle core frame to adjust a flow of a solder wave. A linear actuator is connected via a linkage to the exit wing to allow the linear actuator to adjust an orientation of the exit wing with respect to the nozzle core frame.
