Provider of thermal monitoring and analysis technology ECD has unveiled its latest process control innovation: M.O.L.E. EV6 at the IPC Apex Expo 2023. “The market’s first traveling thermal profiler with operation via a capacitive touchscreen, M.O.L.E. EV6 offers a radical new design engineered to save time, simplify data viewing and analysis, and improve productivity. APEX visitors to ECD Booth #2425 will be the first to see the new technology in person, and will have the opportunity to pre-order the new profiler for shipments beginning March 1, 2023.
“Consumers have become accustomed to touchscreen-enabled, intuitive management of most of our electronic devices,” says Electronics Division Manager, Mark Waterman. “It should be no different in the factory, and ECD has been moving toward this model for quite a while. We designed our award-winning SmartDRY storage system with an easy-to-use onboard user interface, and have now successfully achieved touch control with M.O.L.E. EV6
With conventional thermal profiler designs, users must program, download data and interpret results via a PC interface. Moreover, control buttons on the profiler can be vague and confusing, leading to errors, erased profiles, and other efficiency-killing events if operators are poorly-trained. The new profiler eliminates these concerns, delivering process calculation templates, profile viewing, and pass/fail analysis on the device.
“The immediacy of shop floor data access introduces a major boost for productivity,” notes Waterman. “M.O.L.E. EV6 saves time on the line, reduces required training resources, and eliminates the need for a computer to conduct analysis. What’s more, ECD’s engineers have also made M.O.L.E. EV6 practical and affordable with features like an off-the-shelf lithium-polymer battery, wireless Bluetooth operation, and built-in maintenance reminders.”
