WQB 4000SOPS 7 Operation Layout and function of operator interface The user interface is divided into 2 elements. "Placement“ is required for the alignment and placement of components and "Soldering" for the soldering /desoldering process. The illustration below shows the basic layout of the user interface. The areas are explained in brief in the following sections.
WQB 4000SOPS Placement 7.3.1.1 Control unit LED Illumination This allows the circuit board or component lighting to be switched on/off and dimmed. 7.3.1.2 Camera screen and zoom A real-time representation of the camera picture is output in the camera window. Thanks to the high camera resolution, a zoom function is also available with a click of the mouse.
WQB 4000SOPS 7.3.1.3 Camera settings The user can use this button to set an optimised image configuration for the respective requirements, and the Crossing "Show / Hide" or Frame "Show / Hide" buttons are used to display a crosshair or rectangle for easier alignment of components.
WQB 4000SOPS Soldering 7.4.1 Soldering profile bar graph The bar graph provides a rapid overview of the duration of the soldering profile. The colours of the individual segments correspond to the times of the individual process steps. 7.4.2 Input boxes for process parameters The process parameters can be divided into up to eight individual steps.
WQB 4000SOPS A parameter block is made up of the following process parameters: Steps Selection of number of steps 1 - 8 Nozzle off 1 - 8 Deactivation of top heater Nozzle 1 - 8 Nozzle temperature for steps 1 – 8 / 50 °C – 400 °C Airflow 1 - 8 Air throughput for step 1 –...
WQB 4000SOPS 7.4.4 Saving and loading parameter blocks / profiles The parameter blocks can be saved and loaded using the "Save“ and "Load“ buttons. The currently loaded parameter block is displayed in the program window at top left. By loading a parameter block and saving under another name, changed / separate parameter blocks can be created.
WQB 4000SOPS 7.4.6 Reinitialisation The Re Init button can be used to reinitialise the communication between PC and WQB 4000SOPS without a software restart. Interrupted processes must be RESTARTED. 7.4.7 Language selection The Language button allows you to select a language.
WQB 4000SOPS Print Function THE "PRINT" BUTTON BE USED TO PRINT OUT THE CURRENT PARAMETER BLOCK WITH THE associated temperature chart at the standard printer of the computer. Weller ® Page 37 of 66...
WQB 4000SOPS Special functions 7.6.1 Gradient Gradient mode makes targeted heating-up gradients and even targeted cooling down possible. For this purpose, a maximum gradient is specified for each process step. During application of Gradient mode, operation is always carried out with nozzle pre- heating and the nozzle is already lowered above the component prior to process start.
WQB 4000SOPS 7.6.2 Teach-in Teach-in mode is used for easy determination of the temperature profile using external sensors and is activated via the "Teach-In" button. The Teach-In Sensor" can also be selected from a list. Free sensor inputs are faded in automatically.
WQB 4000SOPS Other functions 7.7.1 Operating the soldering head and insertion head The soldering head and the insertion head are guided by precision linear guides in the Z-axis. The soldering head is equipped with a rotation-damped articulated lever (16). The soldering head can be lifted off or lowered without vibrations by operating the appropriate articulated lever.
WQB 4000SOPS 8 Maintenance and cleaning Safety measures 8.1.1 The mains cable must only be inserted in the approved power sockets or adapters. Use the supplied mains cable exclusively. 8.1.2 Keep your work area tidy and in proper order. Do not bring combustible materials or objects near the hot soldering tool.
Operating Instructions. 8.1.26 Observe the safety regulations applicable to your work area. The bottom and top heater of the WQB 4000SOPS are only approved for heating components to be soldered / desoldered and related components / additional materials.
WQB 4000SOPS Maintenance and cleaning by users The linear axes or linear guide rails for moving the circuit board carriage or positioning unit must be lubricated after 5,000 process cycles or 1,000 operating hours at the latest. Fig. 4 Fig. 2 Fig.
