The longer the oven, the better. You will have much more capabilities in creating the precise profiles the way you want them(with10-12 zone oven). I have worked with ovens from 2 to 12 zones and the difference is huge. In my opinion try to get a 10zo

The 300 degrees is the temperature as measured at the sensor. The actual air temperature just above your PCB may actually be much less. If the oven is properly calibrated then the 300 should represent air temperature at the board but I have seen ma

Sounds like your volumes are pretty low. Pick and Place is the bottleneck in the assembly line. Consider an oven that can keep up with the throughput of your P&P. "The best" is determined on individual cases for a specific application and enviro

What do you mean by solder in ROHS. Can you please explain me little bit. Is that really important while doing lead free process. Also, please tell me wether a 8 zone (4 bottm and 4 top) reflow oven with 300 degree max.. Is good to do the lead free

Hello, yes you are absolutely correct. I agree with your point. Last week,I personally checked out my board on Heller 1088 which is a 8 zone reflow oven (4 on top and 4 on bottom) and the soldering came pretty nice. So comparing with that situation

I don't have one, but a lot of ovens of this vintage are on the market because they DO NOT cope well with lead free processes. There is one of these on eBay right now and it even says ROHS is right at the limit of what it can just about manage so thi

If you have a chance ask them to bring in one of your products(take board, stencil and some heavy part on the PCB that will absorb a lot of heat). They should be able to screen(even manually) it for you, hand place the part and send it through the ov

Hello Sir, Thanks for your reply. i just got a mail from the DIMA service group and they said the Oven setting is as follows: Max temp settings in each zone (Which is not the temperature on your product, but close to where the air flow comes out of

You can most certainly use the same reflow oven for both leaded and lead-free pastes. Obviously your thermal profiles will be different, as the lead-free paste should have a higher reflow temp. As long as your oven has adequate exhaust and flux manag

can we use same reflow oven for lead free and leaded solder paste, is there any chance of lead contamination in lead-free products.
