Somebody pressed the system set button and now the machine has an e-stop,lid open, and extraction error. checked the control relays and all is OK except one is not switching on. The cable comes from the FCU unit so suspect some config or settings are

Seems we had similar issue years ago with our VIP 70. There are a series of 2pin axial fuses on the panel with the SS relays and contactors (I don't think it was over the FCU). Check each fuse with a meter; replaced ours and the e-stop cleared and th

We run 2 lines: Line 1 has a Dek 265, GL5, CP43, QP242E, and Heller 1900W; Line 2 has an Ekra X4, GL541, CP643E, QP242E, and BTU VIP98N oven. Soon both lines will have new Ekra X5 screen printers and the BTU replaced with another Heller. Works for us

In 1995 we bought 4 Vitronics U520 reflow ovens with top heat only. We ran these ovens until 2003 for both curing and lead reflow with no problems. In 1998 we bought 1 U520 top and bottom heat and one U820 top and bottom heat and once again we had

Simon, In a previous life, I came upon a maintenance tech that had an old vapor phase oven control cabinet half ripped apart for a main power problem. I asked him if he had checked to see if any of the E-Stop swtiches had been hit. One had been ac

Need some suggestions on oven profile. I run a BTU VIP98 oven. Has 7 zones, convention heat and all. My profile goes (in Celcius) 150/160/170/180/205/215/180 moving at 28in/min. Roughly 5 minutes from start to finish. I use Kester 256 solder and my b

I am not familiar with the VIP98, but I have worked with other BTU models for several years. As I have posted in earlier threads: there is absolutely no way to tell whether your profile is correct unless you attach thermo couples to your board and ru

Is it a failure or a schedule overdue? If it's a failure check the vacuum sensor in the exhaust. You should be able to locate the straw and follow it back to the diaphragm. You can adjust the diaphragm. Or you can electrically jumper past it.

Robert, what you have provided is not a "profile". It is a "recipe" or "job". I have 4 BTU VIP98's. I have hundreds of recipes...Your temps look similar to mine....but what does that have to do with the "thermal profile" as experienced by the asse
