I am currently evaluating some different reflow ovens for a future purchase. The manufacturers we are looking at are Conceptronic, BTU, and Heller. Any feedback on these manufacturers would be welcome. I am particularly interested in: 1.Service res

James, Could it be the convection in the reflow oven itself.Maybe somebody has increased the air flow or convection rate. I have seen an issue with an sot23 blowing off pad in a BTU paragon due to air flow in air curtains being too high. Hope this h

Thanks for the advice. In this scenario we are designing our own product. Currently we are building at a prototype level with no appreciable wait between reflow passes. The part in question is a 64 pin QFP. We use a BTU VIP 98 with edge conveyor.

Kris- You obviously need to become more self-sufficient if you are struggling to keep your reflow oven up and running. Reflow ovens are too simple to repair to get freaked out over them. It's not always the vendor's fault when the customer doesn

No, it isn't. Last year I paid mid fifties for a brand new 8 zone BTU. Air only, belt and rails, not a lot of bells and whistles. There isn't a ton to a reflow oven and the chinese ones have gotten pretty decent, which pushes the price down for eve

In 1995 we bought 4 Vitronics U520 reflow ovens with top heat only. We ran these ovens until 2003 for both curing and lead reflow with no problems. In 1998 we bought 1 U520 top and bottom heat and one U820 top and bottom heat and once again we had

Dave, yes, your assumption is right, We only do washing after the second reflow. The timing from the post primary reflow to wash is no longer than 2 hour. The line config is as such : DEK265 � 3x MV2F- 1x MSF � BTU - AOI � DEK265 � 3x MV2F � 1x MSF-

Let�s not get drawn into making more of the amount of training required in order to be able to develop an effective reflow recipe than is necessary. A low-skilled operator with about one hour's training can setup the solder reflow oven. Consider co
