reflow-machine-maintenance-guidance

This skill should be considered when you need to answer reflow machine maintenance questions or provide detailed guidance based on thermocouple data, MES data or defect data and reflow technical handbooks. This skill covers how to obtain important concepts, calculations, definitions, thresholds, and others from the handbook and how to do cross validations between handbook and datasets.

This skill should be considered when you need to answer reflow machine maintenance questions or provide detailed guidance based on thermocouple data, MES data or defect data and reflow technical handbooks. This skill covers how to obtain important concepts, calculations, definitions, thresholds, and others from the handbook and how to do cross validations between handbook and datasets.
This skill should be considered when you need to answer reflow equipment maintenance questions based on thermocouple data, MES data, defect data, and reflow technical handbooks. Based on the questions, first retrieve related info from the handbook and corresponding datasets. Most frequently asked concepts include preheat, soak, reflow, cooling, ramp, slope, C/s, liquidus and wetting time, ramp rate guidance, time above liquidus, TAL, peak temperature guidance, minimum peak, margin above liquidus, conveyor speed, dwell time, heated length, zone length, time-in-oven, thermocouple placement, cold spot, worst case, representative sensor, numeric limits, temperature regions, etc. If the handbook provides multiple values or constraints, implement all and use the stricter constraint or the proper value. Common equations used in manufacturing reflow machines include the max ramp is max(s_i) over the region, where s_i = (T_i - T_{i-1}) / (t_i - t_{i-1}) for dt > 0. For the temperature band region, only consider segments where both endpoints satisfy tmin <= T <= tmax. For the zone band region, only consider zone_id in zones. For time band region, only consider t_start_s <= time_s <= t_end_s. For wetting/TAL-type metrics, compute time above a threshold `thr` using segment interpolation. For each TC, peak_tc = max(temp_c). min_peak_run = min(peak_tc), and required_peak = liquidus + peak_margin. Given heated length L_eff_cm, minimum dwell t_min_s, speed_max_cm_min = (L_eff_cm / t_min_s) * 60. Given L_eff_cm, maximum time t_max_s, speed_min_cm_min = (L_eff_cm / t_max_s) * 60. When reducing multiple thermocouples to one run-level result, if selecting maximum metric, choose (max_value, smallest_tc_id). If selecting minimum metric, choose (min_value, smallest_tc_id). Here are reference codes. ```python #Suggest to get a config object from the handbook and use it for all computations. cfg = { # temperature region for the ramp calculation: # either {"type":"temp_band", "tmin":..., "tmax":...} # or {"type":"zone_band", "zones":[...]} # or {"type":"time_band", "t_start_s":..., "t_end_s":...} # "preheat_region": {...}, # "ramp_limit_c_per_s": ..., # "tal_threshold_c_source": "solder_liquidus_c", # if MES provides it # "tal_min_s": ..., # "tal_max_s": ..., # "peak_margin_c": ..., # conveyor feasibility can be many forms; represent as a rule object } runs = pd.read_csv(os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "mes_log.csv")) tc = pd.read_csv(os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "thermocouples.csv")) runs["run_id"] = runs["run_id"].astype(str) tc["run_id"] = tc["run_id"].astype(str) tc["tc_id"] = tc["tc_id"].astype(str) runs = runs.sort_values(["run_id"], kind="mergesort") tc = tc.sort_values(["run_id","tc_id","time_s"], kind="mergesort") ``` ```python #Always sort samples by time before any computation in thermocouple computation. Ignore segments where `dt <= 0` df_tc = df_tc.sort_values(["run_id","tc_id","time_s"], kind="mergesort") ``` ```python def max_slope_in_temp_band(df_tc, tmin, tmax): g = df_tc.sort_values("time_s") t = g["time_s"].to_numpy(dtype=float) y = g["temp_c"].to_numpy(dtype=float) best = None for i in range(1, len(g)): dt = t[i] - t[i-1] if dt <= 0: continue if (tmin <= y[i-1] <= tmax) and (tmin <= y[i] <= tmax): s = (y[i] - y[i-1]) / dt best = s if best is None else max(best, s) return best # None if no valid segments ``` ```python def time_above_threshold_s(df_tc, thr): g = df_tc.sort_values("time_s") t = g["time_s"].to_numpy(dtype=float) y = g["temp_c"].to_numpy(dtype=float) total = 0.0 for i in range(1, len(g)): t0, t1 = t[i-1], t[i] y0, y1 = y[i-1], y[i] if t1 <= t0: continue if y0 > thr and y1 > thr: total += (t1 - t0) continue crosses = (y0 <= thr < y1) or (y1 <= thr < y0) if crosses and (y1 != y0): frac = (thr - y0) / (y1 - y0) tcross = t0 + frac * (t1 - t0) if y0 <= thr and y1 > thr: total += (t1 - tcross) else: total += (tcross - t0) return total ```
