We currently have 2 HVA 102 conceptronic reflow ovens. I ran 2 profiles on the 2 seperate machines. One of the oven ran 7 degrees lower than the other oven. I checked all the fans and they seem to running fine. I get no warning on the monitors.

James: The ovens can be calibrated to help get this a little closer. In the computer box are 3 cards (alike) attached to the motherboard. They are called IPS-7 cards. On these cards are 2 potentiometers to calibrate the T/Cs for the heat zones. There

If I read this correctly you have two identical ovens that were setup the same ie zone temps, fan speeds etc... when you ran the same board through each of them one showed a lower board temp. Is this correct? Is the temp of the board 7 deg. lower t

Unless your machine (internal) thermocouples are each calibrated and compensated no two machines will deliver eactly the same results. Here are your challenges: 1. Data acquisition equipment A-D converter errors 2. PCB measurement thermocouple (t

Look to the no-Pb solderpaste mfr. specs for on-board temps. For example, Indium Corp. has a product that performs at on-board temps of 229C. Now, your BTU oven will handle this no problem, as will most modern ovens. Its all about thermal mass. Look

BTU as well as most oven manufactuers have great products. If they fit what your looking for and can give you good support(preferably local) then you should not really see any quality problems with their products. With the oven max temperature of 300

Russ has a hint by saying "too long of a soak at too high of a temp or being in reflow for too long/hot". I think the board should stay in the oven for 3-4 minutes, spending 60-90 seconds of which during reflow. in order to stay in the oven for 3 m

I placed thermo's at 2 of the problem devices. Soak (time 150 to 180) 100 sec. Time above 180 =80 secs with 208 deg. peak. The solder appeared to flow at these pads, but little to no adhesion to the joint.Total time in oven was 5 min. All other joint

This may sound silly to ask, but does your oven have a center board support by chance? If so is it down when running the boards through the oven? I only ask this because we had the solenoid that operates that function (raise and lower) of the board

What are your temps at the locations that you are having trouble with. We cannot tell anything by the zone settings of an oven. We need max temp, how long above liquidous etc.. a lot of times this symptom is due to too long of a soak at too high o
