Have not researched vapor phase reflow ovens. Thought they were no longer manufactured (outside of Europe). Can you recommend a manufacturer based out of US? Never seen one in production, only heard of these ovens being widely used up to early 90'

Thanks John, You built smart batch I/R oven from a consumer toaster oven and that sounds pretty cool and cheap too. I'm hoping that we don't have to resort to all of that to get what we need... although I have been toying around with the idea of buil

Ok Eric, finally we know that the problem should be the PILLOW (sincerely, your photo is not very clear) and not the crack of the joint. There is a big difference on the failure mode of the two defects... If the problem is realy a pillow I only ca

Just a note, on fixed galden machines yes the way they compensate for rise time is as the previous post suggested, change power and also stage the lowering of the PCB into the vapor cushion ie not the main one but further up in the tank. The disadvan

I have been using Vapor Phase for about 5 years. We just started building our first BGA and the reflow profile is the same as most SMT assembly.We build PWA that are 25 layers thick with 0.050 heat sinks. We have done some preliminary X ray and BG

Asscon makes a new gen VP machine. They have a website in some foreign language. ;-) Seriously, it could be that machines like this and new perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluids will help us persevere through the Eurolander no-lead lunacy. ;-( Ask Bria

Good Luck Right now there seems to be a glut on the market for used and brand new equipment. Entire Facilities are being sold with state of the art equipment. My guess for you is to find your own buyer. Ask the supplier of the process materials fo

To have an Operating Temp (Tool Classification) within your range, you might want to try. PB85 (Pb85/Sb10/Sn5) SMT is normally processed using Vapor Phase but can also be achieved with Nitrogen assisted Convection Reflow depending on size and compl

DaveF: I personally like BTU for example. There are some German brands that are pretty good too like - SMT. Currently have Vitronics - it is good. Used to have Hellers - never been happy with the quality. Market keeps developing, so if it was me, I w

We are evaluating Vapor Phase right now, and there is something that bothers me a bit. The machine has a preheating stage where we can bring the board, components and paste up to temp to dry the paste out before descending into the Vapor. The heatin
