    Abstract: Apparatus especially useful for centering an electronic component on a surface for subsequent pickup and placement on a circuit board. The apparatus includes a pair of jaws which are driven in unison toward and away from each other by a lead screw or similar mechanism, each of the jaws having a part adapted to engage a respective side of a component to be positioned. The engagement part of each jaw is resiliently loaded such as by a spring or air cylinder and is in a normally outward position. The jaws are pre-aligned so that they drive in unison toward a predetermined center line. A component place between the jaws is contacted by the engagement parts of the jaws when the jaws move toward each other, and is moved into alignment on the center line. The jaws over-travel the aligned position against the spring pressure of the jaws, this spring pressure providing an intended over-travel force which prevents excessive force on the component by the engaged jaws. The over-travel also allows acceptance of a range of component sizes for the same jaw configuration.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for vapor conservation and control for use with vapor phase soldering, degreasing, or similar systems having a tank into which work is introduced and removed. The air present above the processing vapor zone is drawn from the processing tank and cooled to condense the vapor, and the remaining air is then returned to the tank above the area of withdrawal. A negative pressure is preferably created at the tank entrance such that air flow is into the tank to prevent emission of vapor and pollutants from the tank into the atmosphere.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for vapor conservation and control for use with vapor phase soldering, degreasing, or similar systems having an open tank containing the vapor into which work is introduced and removed. The present invention comprises apparatus associated with the tank and operative to create a counter-convection flow which opposes the outward convection flow of vapor from the open tank. The process vapor is substantially retained within the tank while maintaining an open central channel for work entry and removal. The counter-convection flow is produced by establishment of a temperature differential by cooling and/or heating means disposed to cause a convection flow in a downward direction which opposes the normal upward flow of vapor from the tank.

    Abstract: A solder leveling system for use in vapor phase soldering of printed wiring boards. A transport system operating in a near-horizontal mode moves the board to be solder coated through a vapor zone in a chamber having a solder pot which has a throat in line with the plane of the transport system. The near-horizontal movement through the vapor and into and out of the solder pot prevents solder sag and permits control of the thickness of solder deposited on the opposing board surfaces. Leveling nozzles are positioned in a vapor-filled chamber astride the transport system between the solder pot and the chamber throat. Perpendicular nozzle offset distance from the board and nozzle angle are adjustable. Preferably one nozzle projects a stream normal to the board, with the other nozzle projecting a grazing stream for clearing through holes. A nozzle flow rate corresponding to a predetermined energy threshold provides reliable hole clearing. Preferably the chamber throat is cooled for vapor containment, forming one of three cooling zones for vapor containment, vapor leveling, and condensation. In the preferred solder pot, as the board enters the sloping throat, solders spills over a weir into a reservoir from whence it is pumped into a standpipe which charges the sloping throat. Preferably solder is added to the pot through a drop tube having a lower end immersed in the solder to provide a unique vapor seal and means for determining the level of solder. A preferred transport system utilizes a spring loaded carrier providing easy loading and unloading of the boards.
