Need recommendations on brands and models of reflow ovens for lead free. Small benchtop for prototyping and short runs. Board size about 10" by 10". What works well? What to stay away from? Thanks for any input and advice.

Looking for recommendations on a small bench-top batch oven for reflowing simple one sided boards. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations? I'd consider used over the Asian imports to save money,... as long as it's the right oven .

I looked at a number of small bench-top batch ovens and saw two things. First, they got VERY expensive when you got above the very smallest units. Mine will fit an 8 x 12" board. I still have to do one that size and see how uniform the temperature

I would suggest you look a the Sikama International Falcon 5 benchtop reflow system, Economical, reliable and good value. You may be able to get one on the used equipment market.

reash, Go directly to APS and get one of the APS GF-12 ovens. I have been using these for 15 years as a low-to-medium volume oven for general purpose reflow of CCAs up to about 12" by 12" with excellent results. I use them for BGA re-balling, underfi

Take a look at http://www.atco-us.com/products/info/3 . Benchtop version is also available. A full forced convection oven delivers much better thermal uniformity than an IR/forced air combo system. When comparing different ovens, some things to

Thank you very much for your comments. I highly appreciate your opinions. Does this mean that batch oven are no good? Not even one? I am still hoping that there is at least one batch oven that you can recommend. Thanks!

Does anyone have advice about the best low volume (hopefully under $10K) reflow system for SN96 or SAC305 solder? We recently purchased a benchtop IR oven and it is not working well. Jim

I have used the 850's previous version (and other batch ovens). The current specified was AFTER the unit was at operating temperature, not what it took to warm up. If you have power restrictions, like I do, be careful with this model. Having used ba

Thanks for the comment regarding the CPH. In fact, the benchtop oven we have takes 7 minutes to complete a batch soldering, so you can imagine that our production volume will not be very high. We can parallelize PCB assembly and oven phase. But defi
