For "Production" none of the above or any of this type. These little batch oven are for small labs and prototyping houses, even the best ones have only limited control over the reflow process. None of them are intended for the repeated serial use you

Hi Dean, Thanks for the feedback. I suppose I should reveal the nature of my query. Contact Systems was founded by my father back in 1970. I worked there from 1983 until we closed the doors back in 2009. I acquired the assets and intellectual pro

I wouldn't get too tightly wrapped around the axial of paste suppliers recommendations of thermal recipes. Said another way, "Do not count on the solder paste representatives for good technical advice--they are the ones who came up with these "'TIME

I'm in a manufacturing environment with a very high mix of boards, and some low-mid volume. A "large" production run might consist of 100 boards. Volume: There are numerous boards that have a volume of 1-3 pieces. There are a few boards with an annua
