Thanks for the advice. In this scenario we are designing our own product. Currently we are building at a prototype level with no appreciable wait between reflow passes. The part in question is a 64 pin QFP. We use a BTU VIP 98 with edge conveyor.

first, does the recipe have the heat and conveyor boxes checked? If no then it does nothing. second, have you pressed the round green switch? third, are there any alarms in the alarm box? Do you have a controller link fail? Verify the cable is p

Hi, A couple of another things is to check: * The cooling water supply (assuming that your oven has this feature). * The fans (Just open the hood and check if every fan, up & down is running). * Open the back panels: and you should see some "black"

Thanks, Chunks. Your first post was correct, it turned out to be the battery. That is that problem solved. Unfortunately I have now got an error message saying Flux Management Failure. Is this just a coincidence? It sounds like something to do with t

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

It depends on a number of factors - including as Russ pointed out, complexity (sometimes you need to create very complex profiles if you have large BGAs and other such components, which require at least 7 heated zones), then you have size, required l

We've been having issues with our current process of oven profiles. We use a high temp adhesive to bond the thermal couples to the desired components. The issue of them letting go or releasing during reflow temps are hit or miss. Majority of our buis

We are currently experiencing an issue with one of our reflow ovens producing large amounts of flux crystals in the end of zone 12 and entrance of cooling zone. This has been going on for roughly around 4 years now, we are using Senju M705 lead free

Stephen has a good point. You could buy a used oven. I know of several used ones that are completely refurbished for about 15-25K. But these are BTU P-70's and P-98's. The main problem here is frequency. Most of their ovens operate at 50 or 60
