Measuring solder level in wave soldering machine | 26 June, 2020

Hello everyone, Can you please recommend a sensor to measure (contactless) level of solder inside of the wave soldering bath? ideally it should be a sensor that can reliably measure distanceto the melted solder and provide distance (as a codified signal analog/ digital)in mm or inches or give an alarm when level below certain threshold.

Thanks, Victor

It is usually done differently. Sensor is in the solder. Once solder becomes goes below the sensor, it triggers you need to add. I believe it measures temperature rather than distance.

Most select solder machines I've dealt with use conductance sensors to detect solder.
