What is the conveyor speed range for S&M wave soldering machines?
S&M wave solder conveyors operate from 0.5 to 3.0 meters per minute, adjustable via the touchscreen controller. The conveyor is SMEMA-compatible and includes a board-edge sensor that confirms board presence before wave contact. Conveyor width is adjustable from 50mm to the machine’s maximum PCB width specification.
How do I integrate a wave soldering machine with my existing SMT line?
All S&M wave solder machines use standard SMEMA 4-wire signaling (board-ready, machine-busy, start transfer, power on) for plug-and-play integration with any SMEMA-compliant equipment. The machine requires single-phase 220V or three-phase 380V power (confirm at order), compressed air at 6 bar, and a solder exhaust ventilation system. S&M provides installation drawings and utility specifications before delivery.

Can S&M wave soldering machines be upgraded to nitrogen atmosphere later?
The SA-N series nitrogen models include sealed chamber walls, nitrogen inlet plumbing, and oxygen sensors that are not present on the standard SA air models. Converting an SA air model to SA-N nitrogen specification requires hardware modifications to the soldering chamber and is generally not cost-effective. Select the atmosphere type at time of purchase based on your 3-5 year product roadmap.
