SEHO GoWave Wave Soldering System

The GoWave supports a maximum soldering width of 340 mm (≈ 13.39″) and can process PCB / solder mask dimensions up to 410 × 340 mm (≈ 16.14″ × 13.39″).

The pass-through height allowed under the PCB edge is 100 mm (≈3.94″). This defines how tall components can be before clearance becomes an issue.

It has an ATS spray fluxer with HVLP (High-Volume, Low-Pressure) technology. This gives a clear, well-defined spray pattern, reduces flux consumption, and lowers mist/overspray for cleaner operation.

The GoWave includes an infrared preheat zone, covered with ceramic glass, with preheat area dimensions 700 × 400 mm. Preheat temperature can reach up to 420 °C, and it offers a reflection tunnel and optional stopping of PCBs in preheat zone for high mass boards.

• Solder pot capacity is ≈ 185 kg for SnPb alloy and 150 kg for SnAgCu (lead-free) alloy.
• It supports both single wave or dual wave / nozzle configurations, allowing flexibility depending on assembly complexity.

Conveyor speed is adjustable between 0.3-2.0 m/min. The conveyor angle under the wave is manually adjustable between 6° to 8° for optimal peel-off and solder penetration. These adjustments help balance throughput vs quality (bridging, wetting, solder joints).

• Microprocessor control with touch-screen interface.
• User can store up to 100 soldering programs.
• Closed-loop control of conveyor, heating, and pump speed. Also, USB interface for logging of process data and operating parameters.

• Power: 3 phase 230/400 V, 50 Hz; total power consumption ~ 8 kW.
• Compressed air: about 6 bar supply required; approx. 250 l/min consumption.
• Exhaust requirement: ~ 1 × 550 m³/h with stainless steel filters for the fluxer area.
• Maintenance: periodic cleaning of the fluxer, nozzle units, reflecting tunnels, and solder pot with composite coating. The system is built with low maintenance in mind, but solder pot consumption, dross, and flux management are ongoing costs.

As an authorised SEHO partner, Hawker Richardson supplies the SEHO GoWave for small production volumes across Australia and New Zealand. We provide on-site installation, training, servicing and technical support, with coverage spanning Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch, and stock commonly used spare parts for fast servicing and minimal downtime.
