CHARACTERIZATION OF A WAVE SOLDERING PROCESS USING TAGUCHI METHOD
Keywords:
Wave Soldering Process, Design of Experiments (DOE), Taguchi Method, Analysis ofVariance (ANOVA)Abstract
This paper outlines the Taguchi methodology as an approach to
identify the "optimal" wave soldering machine parameter setting
that has significant effect on a key quality characteristic of
interest, namely, soldering defects per unit(SDPU). The method is
briefly discussed and its application is illustrated by an industrial
case study as an example. Several machine controllable factors
were investigated as to their effect on the SDPU The result ofthe
study shows an improvement of up to 70 percent of SDPU Its
potential in costsavings is thus apparent.
