Can the oven do 400C? If so do them in the oven. Jerry

Nothing is locking up or sticking. It's just getting cruddy.

The manual says to bake the edge chains at 400C to clean them. Is anybody doing this ? I need to take my edge chains to a heat treat facility to clean them ? I don't want to spray oven cleaner on them as they appear to be plated with nickel or so

Sorry to say that most top out at 350 deg. Best to have it done outside. Is the chain locking up or not moving smoothly? If no signs of sticking then maybe no need to heat at all.

We had this happen in a Heller 1808 oven when we placed Tant-A caps in glue (bottom side / no paste). We had our oven retrofitted to control the zone blower speeds. No more problem.

hi , we have Heller 1808 and I would say that is doing good job as oven. However for less than 3 years we had to replace 6-7 blowers. There are very nice machines in the market, but it really depends on you and how much money you are ready to spend.

Anyone have experience or advice to help prevent SMT reed switches from being blow out of position during re-flow? We are using a Heller 1707 MK 3. Is it possible to adjust air flow in the oven or do we need to glue before placement??

I have a Heller 1808 Reflow oven with the chain that has the edge hold to keep the boards off of the mesh belt. The feed end was more narrow than the exit end, and some boards would fall off. So we adjusted both ends to be the same. Well now, when

In general the chains don't need to be heated to 400 deg C for cleaning. In other words, most of the fluxes and constituents in the paste don't collect on the chain and gum it up. Bottom line: the heat treatment is not needed for 95% of the users.
