Hi,, My doubt is regarding to the Reflow Time, I mean, in a 5 or 7 zones oves, how long the board should stay inside the oven to complete the soldering cycle? 4 min, more, less...Should I keep low temp until peak for a long time or high temp in shor

If all your doing is trying to measure oven repeatability, but then you wanna do it a bunch of times, have a profiling "board" constructed out of say... delmat, delrin, or some other glastic-type pallet material. Have the T/C's permanently fastene

Hello, I am Philip Kazmierowicz and I work with KIC, a Thermal Profiling company. We have done many lifetime experiments on Printed Circuit Boards over the years. The key thing to understand is that if the primary material of the board in FR4 fiber

If you get into a discussion with a Lean guy/gal, takt will be the rate of customer demand. People often use takt & cycle time synonymously...FWIW

Yes, it is time and temperature, but it is also speed and distance. Even though you can run a longer machine faster, the boards have a longer distance to travel and you do too, so the cycle time per board may not improve be reduced as much as you th

How are you doing things now? I'm trying to picture a place going from no reflow oven to a reflow oven without also getting a screen printer at the same time. Are you now handsoldering parts on? With these batchs you plan on doing are you going to

The assembly process involves activity before you get to reflow. Reflowing is the easy part. Putting paste down and placing parts in wet paste is the terrifying part. Benchtop reflow ovens can be a real handy tool for small production but with the g

As others have stated, there are a few other things in the aveage assembly shop that are much more scary that a reflow oven. For instance, we have a wonderful wave soldering machine and w've been doing that kind of stuff for tens of years, but every

My small R&D company (15 people) is considering the purchase of a bench top reflow oven & associated gear. The reasoning is that it would be nice to have reflow capability for 5 to 50 piece prototype runs in-house. As the only person with any real kn

Hi I think I agree with this poster. You will be surprised once you get the reflow oven working well how much you will say "And why did I do it the other way" I know, I know "I'm an artist" "I'm an inventor" Nothing wrong with being either yet
