Sniper II

The Sniper II includes a sixteen (16) profile, sixteen (16) segment controller, which is easily programmed using an integral key pad. Alternatively the system can be controlled via an RS232 connection with an external computer.

The computer software provided operates in a Windows 95/98 ® environment. Profile Pattern Recipes (PPR) are easily created, stored, recalled, and edited using a “Graphical Display Window” (GDW). Programs are automatically up loaded to the Sniper II controller. Any number of PPR’s may be stored for future recall.

Thermal Tracer

The APE Thermal Tracer tracks up to six (6) sensors, which can be strategically located at and around the component. The sensors are used to develop a “Profile Pattern Recipe,” indicating the actual board temperatures during the rework process.

The system can also be used to calibrate the Sniper hot air delivery. The 8300-9660 is supplied as a PCMCIA Card for insertion in a Lap Top or within the Card Reader option.

Computer Operation

Programs may be controlled and operated directly from the computer and a graphical chart of the temperature profile traced in “Real Time”

Simple Operation

It is not necessary to use the computer for general operation. To run a PPR, the operator simply selects the PPR from the Controller panel and presses the “Run” key. The program is then run automatically. The operator need not be in attendance during the reflow process.
