BTU’s latest version of its reflow oven, the Pyramax 150 X5, is claimed to offer unmatched process and repeatability, critical for lead-free processing. The 10-zone air or nitrogen capability, combined with 350°C maximum temperature and 610mm (24-inch) board processing, provides high process flexibility and throughput for high-volume, high-mix applications. The furnace reportedly features significantly reduced cost of ownership, due to reduced power and gas consumption. Nitrogen consumption can be as low as 14.15m³/h (500CFH), while the improved maintenance access results in less down time, further reducing the cost of ownership. In addition, the available self-contained on-board water supply eliminates the need for a water facility. The oven offers improved heating and cooling performance, and reportedly features the industry’s only closed-loop convection control for continuous monitoring and feedback of heating and cooling rates. Adjustments are made automatically.
