We are looking at getting a new inline SMT reflow oven and I have been shown a new vapour phase oven made by ASSCON. It looks very good - just want to know if any one has used one before and can comment. Thanks

Pete, We have 2 Vapor Phase ovens and use a profiler from Data Pak that has a sleeve that seals out the Vapor for these ovens. This is pretty much the only system that we have found for these kinds of ovens. Contact them and they will hook you up.Tha

Hi, Vapor phase is an incredibly process, apart from the tombstoning, that we just could never eliminate. So we had to dump it and go with convection. It's a shame, as the solder joints were incredible! Regards, Grant

Is anyone out there using vapor phase soldering techniques? 1. I'm wondering what results you are getting? 2. How are you controlling the thermal profiles (specifically ramp rates and TAL)? 3. What fluid type are you using? Who is the mfg? Thanks

"Asscon" made in Germany do a range of vapour phase ovens right from benchtop to inline. Dont know your local agent, goto http://www.asscon.de.

Cooking bags. The ones for "large bird game" work very well. I believ I got them from Hormel. They are not ESD approved, but your thermal recorder should come out dry and well browned.

Hello Hunzo, many thanks for your detailed reply! By the way, I am well familiar with the smell of Galden liquid that is used in vapour phase soldering ovens. Does ADL have the similar smell?

Or Vapour Phase... which could fit in a similar space, offer safe even heating and use less power.

Hi Evtimov, Thanks for your response. Yes, the vapour phase is suppose to handle big and heavy boards, at least thats the intention. Well our thin board is like around 3mm which is not really thin. In our application the thicker the boards means more

Hi, just wondering are many assemblers using vacuum reflow systems, whether they be forced air based or vapour phase type ? If so, anyone seeing any negatives caused by the vacuum with regards liquid solder being 'sucked' away from the joints in the
