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

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

Hello Reflow Masters; I'm using an Omniflo-10E reflow oven. Due to high demands of our production in lead free process, can I use my existing leaded line as an native? Does this option affect the lead contamination of the solder in Pb-Free to go bey

Hello all! We possess a speedline electrovert omniflo 7 reflow oven at my site. Last week we examined how the solder profile was affected by fan-speed and by providing the soldering process with compressed air(O2) or nitrogen(N2). We also ran the sa

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
