| Here is what I would do faced with your problem. First I would profile a similar board or use an existing profile. From there I would place the dummy device on the surface of a sample board with a thin thermocouple soldered to the board surface und

Well it depends on what kind of oven you have. If you have a short oven, you are going to have a difficult time. You will probably end up having several different profiles if that is the case. We have 3 BTU TRS 212 furnaces. They are fairly long 8 zo

We currently use the SuperMole and generally speaking it's a nice tool and gives us the information we need. The software could use some work, though. When you create a file for a new profile, you have to input a "time above" temperature for your

Determine the number points (parts) on a pc board to be measured/connected in temperature profile according to the purpose of the profile. For instance: * A thread here on SMTnet recently discussed �copper plate� profiling. It is used primarily for

Hello Doug, thank you for the additional commentary, it has reminded me of another reflow recommendation that I'd like to make in general for readers. It's not specific to O2/N2 in ovens but in the method for creating and managing profiles for numero

Hi, I would immediately go out and purchase a profiler as you will save the cost of it on rework savings. We use a SlimKIC, and the software with it's so good it will let you adjust the oven temps to make your profile fit your paste specifications

Hello All, I read AIMs article "Time Above Liquidus". It was very informative and a good read. One thing that the article didn't touch on, that is a mystery to me, is thermal shock to components during the ramp up stage of a profile. If you

It's more likely the warp is due to material issues. I've spent way more time than I'd care to admit running Thermoire with various profiles and there's pretty much nothing you can do to reduce warp via profile unless your current profile is truly a
