Vision series convection reflow ovens have new cooling zone designs. Are effective for the homogenous cooling of large thermal mass PCBs. Cooling area in VisionXP is laid out in 2, 3 or 4 stages. Fans in the individual zones, available with separate speed/volume control, can cool Pb-free processed PCBAs to below 50°C. Bottom-side cooling configuration now available. The design is useful for uniformly processing thick PCBs, workpiece carriers, and PCBs with unevenly distributed copper innerlayers.
