A.C.E. Production Technologies introduces its KPH Series infrared (IR) preheat modules for the KISS102 Series Selective Soldering machine. KPH-10 and KPH-20 are simple to set up and use, and feature thermocouple ports to facilitate thermal profiling. KPH-10 offers a 10 x 24” heating area divided into two 10 x 12” individually-controllable zones of 750-watts each. KPH-20 offers a 20 x 24” heating area divided into four 10 x 12” zones.
 
Preheating drives out volatiles or moisture from the circuit board, minimizing the potential for delamination; it raises the overall temperature of the assembly and prevents thermal shock to the board, allows for faster processing, and reduces the potential for thermal shock and stress to the PCB.
 
Can operate in two separate modes: ‘Timer’ (times out at a specific setpoint) or ‘Ramp and hold’ (ramps to setpoint and holds that temperature). Following the preheat cycle, the operator manually advances the circuit board through the preheater into the KISS machine, where fluxing and soldering proceeds on a pre-heated board.
 
Available in benchtop or stand-alone configuration, product support rails line up with the rails of the solder wave.
