The
RO06plus oven from ESSEMTEC (Glassboro, NJ) offers the new possibility
to run test cycles with a duration of up to 18 hours. This function is
mainly used in the area of
component or material testing, for special curing applications or for
burn-in in temperature ranges up to 300° C.
The
oven also offers the possiblity to solder printed circuit boards (PCBs)
with standard or lead-free pastes. The integrated full convection
chamber ensures low delta-t values and narrow process windows. The
compact design allows oven use even in narrow locations like
development or testing laboratories.
The
motorized drawer moves the parts or PCBs automatically into the heating
chamber as soon as the programmed base temperature is reached. After
finishing the temperature cylces, the automatic drawer system moves the
pieces out into an integrated cooling zone.
An additional N2 connection with integrated flow meter allows oven operation with an inert atmosphere.
Software
records temperature profiles of the parts/PCBs, as well as the oven
temperature itself, in real time. Protocols from the software can be
saved, printed and compared with original profiles.
