166 WaveRIDER
The graph shown in Figure C- 4 should be used to determine the maximum conveyor
speed you may use to avoid violating the 1.0 second minimum travel time between
sensors and waves. This is a function of the distance between the chip and solder
waves and the average solder wave contact length.

Figure C- 4: Dropout Time Graph
Locate the curve that represents your average contact length. Locate the Chip to Solder
wave separation on the X-axis of the graph. Move up vertically until it intersects the
contact length or the fixed curve. Look to the left to determine the maximum conveyor
speed you may run.
