Reflow soldering
REFLOW OVENS WITH HIGH THERMAL EFFICIENCY AND SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF ENERGY AND NITROGEN CONSUMPTION
SMT rework ovens for component soldering are manufactured entirely in Germany, at the company’s headquarters in Wertheim.
The main feature of SMT reflow ovens is their high thermal stability in relation to the production load.
This feature enables them to excel in highly critical technological situations, delivering outstanding performance across various types of PCBs: those with standard finishes, multilayer versions, and those featuring a high degree of diversification and density of SMT and, where applicable, THT components, where significant areas of thermal non-uniformity are often encountered.
The R Series represents the new generation of reflow ovens developed to ensure higher process performance and lower energy consumption, whilst delivering extremely high reliability.
An innovative design concept for the thermal zones, combined with a robust conveyor system, enables the R Series to achieve optimal heat transfer and consistent soldering quality even in the most complex applications.
Effective convection and reflow technology:
At the heart of the R series is a high-convection system designed to ensure effective and superior heat transfer, with well-defined and repeatable soldering profiles and unrivalled process efficiency, thanks to:
- Larger heating zones
- High-performance, reliable fans
- High air volume for uniform heat distribution
- Reduced thermal Delta T for greater process stability
Profiling Plus: optimisation of the welding process:
Profiling Plus technology enables simplified and highly efficient management of the thermal profile for greater production flexibility:
- Single-profile strategy (1-Temp Profile)
- Single-profile strategy (1-Temp Profile)
- Automatic optimisation of process parameters
- Independent control of fan speed for each zone
- Active monitoring of heating and ventilation elements
Energy efficiency certified by TÜV:
R-Series ovens are designed to significantly reduce energy consumption thanks to:
- Fewer zones, resulting in lower overall energy consumption
- An optimised system certified by a reputable third-party body such as TÜV
- ‘Sleeping Mode’ to reduce energy and nitrogen consumption during production breaks
- Reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO)
Intelligent nitrogen control and management:
The nitrogen management system incorporates advanced, updated lambda probe technology
- Continuous, real-time measurement of oxygen PPM
- Reduced nitrogen consumption
- Rapid on-site calibration via software
- High accuracy (<2%)
Pyrolysis, an innovative cleaning system for managing residual process gases with ABS Gen3:
- Up to 4 ABS Gen3 catalytic units
- Multi-stage filtration system
- No need to vent gases to the outside
- Reduced internal contamination
Simple maintenance and easy access:
- ool-free design
- Front access, making servicing easier
- Reduced use of consumables
- Greater reliability thanks to simplified system servicing
Robust transport system designed to ensure precision and thermal stability:
- Chain transport: reliable and perfectly parallel
- Robust guides, insensitive to thermal deformation
- Available in single, double and/or triple transport versions
- Compatibility with multi-transport versions of all Pick & Place systems
Flexible configurations:
The R-Series systems can be customised to optimise processes and productivity and include various configurations to suit every production requirement:
- A range of selectable heating and cooling zone lengths
- Cooling units with up to 5 high-performance modules, both top and bottom
- Conveyor system speed of up to 1.20 m/min
- Cycle times of up to 10 seconds
- Reduced and optimised energy consumption in relation to production load
Advantages of the SMT R-Series
- High-quality reflow process, even on highly complex products
- Reduced operating costs
- High-quality materials ensuring excellent operational reliability and long-term durability
- Air and/or nitrogen convection technology with panels featuring controlled geometry and diffusion
