The cycle time of the vacuum oven is determined by vacuum time and transfer time in and out of the vacuum chamber. Since reducing the vacuum time may affect void rate. The most effective way to shorten the oven cycle time without affecting production quality is to reduce the transfer time. Heller’s Short-Cycle Vacuum Oven achieves this by innovating a multi-stage conveyor system, which speeds up the transfer of the board before and after the vacuum chamber.
Patent number: CN222728852U
Patent name: A multi-stage speed-adjustable transmission mechanism
The vacuum chamber contains 3 infrared panels capable of heating the board at the same time as the vacuum application, which allows the solder paste to reach its recommended maximum temperature during vacuum chamber. Together with the shortened board transfer time entering the vacuum chamber, the total time above liquidus (TAL) can be optimized to match the solder paste recommendation.
Our Short-Cycle Vacuum Reflow Oven is equipped with real-time and smart temperature control, which allows users to accurately control temperature on the PCB board, and make granular adjustment to the thermal recipe with ±0.5°C accuracy. By slowing down the cooling conveyor, the cooling zone dwell time can be extended to reduce board exit temperature.
