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

We are using VPS, but only for high mass assemblies. As the other respondent has suggested if the mass of the assemblies is very low then difficult to control temp. rise times to within the normally accepted parameters. The Rehm equipment does seem

Hi Jack, I haven't progressed that much on the reflow project.I'll be working on it in two weeks. Although, I have few vendors that I've been communicating for more info about vapor phase reflow ovens. See the following list: Wenesco Sintronex AICT

Also please contact Rehm Thermal, they make best Vapor Phase systems in terms of cost of onwership - less galden usage than Asscon or IBL, have more controllable ramp rate control vs the other vendors also...use patented galden injection on demand an

Shannon, We have been using VP for all of our lead free production since 2007. Here are the items I can think of off the top of my head. Pro's - small footprint, minimal profiling needed once machine is understood, oxygen free soldering process, s

I don't fully understand what you are trying to do... 1. Reflow Solder in a Vacuum Temp Chamber 2. Vapor Phase / Condensation Solder with Vacuum 3. Contact Heat system with Vacuum 4. Inline Reflow Oven with Vacuum ... or what you are trying to sold

I am looking into Vapor Phase with Vacuum and Inline Reflow with Vacuum (besides Heller I believe a German company SMT has something comparable). There are a couple of companies I found that make vacuum ovens for soldering of hybrid microelectronics

Not sure it's always a great route as the smaller ovens are going to struggle to get a perfect profile for a consistent result, especially on bigger boards with higher layer counts and mixed technology. You may want to take a quick look at a batch va

Avillaro, would you say that vapor phase process was selected, because the boards are so thick and heavy? I would assume so. Have you ever tried to run them through reflow oven? To understand better your challenge, we need to understand the setup be

In the automotive industry there has been a swing away from gaskets and a movement to high temp resistant sealing compounds. In all probability your original gasket would have been viton for high temp O-rings. So if that is the case the replacement
