The investigation presents new kind of infrared equipment for wide utilization in electronic industry. It is suitable for electronic components soldering to printed circuit boards (PCB) using conventional and lead free solder pastes, different kinds of annealing and others. Conventional reflow furnaces have their own heating profiles. The heating profile of a certain furnace is uniquely determined by its design parameters, namely, it lacks flexibility. The upper and lower limits of heating and cooling temperatures can be adjusted by some degree, but time-dependent temperature control is practically impossible. By application of low inert heaters radiating in the middle IR region and microprocessor control of their operation versatile energy saving installation proper for all kinds of solder pastes is made. This equipment allows realizing precise control (in situ) of the temperature on the PCB during the soldering processes, possibility of individual temperature profile for every printed board during the soldering process in dependence of its size, electronic components density et al.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
