Good morning, IR reflow is yesterday technology. IR heating principle has a lot of issues with heat transfer capability (shadow effect) and uneven PCB heating. To avoid this forced convection ovens were developed. Reflow oven for SMD soldering must

I have people ask me on occasion how many hours an oven has run and for the life of me can't figure out why they would want to know that. Who cares? They work until they don't...not much middle ground...unlike a chipshooter which will reach a point t

Directors and company owners care since they're buying it. It's like an odometer on a car - just an indicator. But like your chipshooter example, moving parts on an oven wear out too. They just don't stop working. Plus they're subjected to higher

Sorry Pete (and others), they do have em'. Back side of the oven. Open the doors with the power supply switch and it's right next to the power relay. Little digital ones on the Omni Flo series. Nope, our company is selling the ovens and several i

You did not tell us where your boards fit on the thermal mass range. That is key. I've run Pb Free low to medium thermal mass boards with good results on a 5 zone oven (5 top/5 bottom). You should not have a problem running a medium thermal mass boa

Allow me to re-state my response. Hours on an oven would be the last thing I would care about if I wanted to know something about it. There is no standard lifespan on heaters, blowers and the like. They can last a year or ten. Sure you can assume a 5

Hello, My first time post up here. I have a problem with thermo runaway on upper zone #5 on the Omni 10 Electrovert. We changed the thermocouple #5 but the problem came back up. We swapped Sensoray board 8 and 9, swapped board #3 (T/C interface boar

Hello all, I am having difficulty with an OmniExcel 10 oven. Zone 5 upper will not hold setpoint = 165C (it typically runs ~10C higher). Here is what I know: 1. The machine is not turning on zone 5 heat when temp is too high. 2. Zone 5 lower is
