    Abstract: 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, a solder distribution baffle secured to the nozzle core frame, and a sliding plate that together define a nozzle. The sliding plate is movable with respect to the nozzle core frame between a close proximate position in which the nozzle is configured to produce a reduced width solder wave through the solder distribution baffle and a spaced apart position in which the nozzle is configured to produce an extended width solder wave through the solder distribution baffle.

    Abstract: A wave solder machine includes a pre-heating station, a wave soldering station, and a conveyor to transport substrates through a tunnel passing through the pre-heating station and the wave soldering station. The tunnel has a substantially oxygen-free environment. The pre-heating station includes a pre-heater including a support frame assembly, and a heater assembly supported by the support frame assembly. The heater assembly is slidably coupled to the support frame assembly between an operational position and a non-operational position. The pre-heater further includes a seal disposed between the heater assembly and the support frame assembly. The seal provides a gas-tight seal when the heater assembly is in the operational position to prevent atmosphere from entering the tunnel thereby preserving the substantially oxygen-free environment within the tunnel.
