Things You Should Know When Making A Reflow Soldering Oven

By Angela Fisher


Modification of an old machine is one of the difficult tasks that need a lot of time and cash. The materials required also needs a lot of capital. Reflow soldering oven has made things easy and faster compared to when people were using old devices. The following is the procedure that is used in the construction.

It is crucial to ensure that you have all the materials required for the process to start. Note that, there is need to use high-temperature silicon glue to seal the gaps that were there before. The adhesive is applied when thick; hence, taking much time to cure. Without including the time taken in curing, it is good to know that the time required to complete the construction entirely is a maximum of eight hours.

When opening the old machine, it is vital to take the precaution keenly. A lot of power and temperature is used in this device, and slight mistakes can lead to fatal accidents. A good space has to be made for the fixing of designed controller. The older system has no more use in the machine. Wires used should be left long and all gaps needs to get sealed after the removal of panels.

The relay assembling is vital. It would be wise to note that the controller that is fixed in the device you are modifying should support the two relays; those are the solid state and mechanical relays. The relay to use is determined by the level at which one utilizes the machine. For those that are regular users, it is advisable to use the solid state relays. Others can use the mechanical system. Movements are less; thus, the parts do not wear out at all levels.

The power supply is essential since it controls everything in the oven. A voltage power of 5 is used to ensure that the machine works efficiently. Note that, the PVC used do not burn or get damaged as the power reflow in the system. Low and high voltage wiring is done as required by the specialist. Care should be taken during the activity to avoid accidents. For proper functioning of the device, wiring should be done correctly.

For insulation purposes, ceramic fibers are most preferred. They are elegant and sharp; thus, they do not penetrate thick skin. One should take care to ensure that you do not get your eyes and tissues irritated. The top of your equipment should remain warm during reflow. Proper insulation will make sure that the equipment is provided with the required services for an extended period. One should also remember to add a door seal at the end of the day.

Installation of the PCB tray is paramount. It determines how heat flows as the device operates. Make sure that you use aluminum, not steel. All metals that have excellent conductivity are excellent to use in this work. Make use of the ranks in the equipment when you have reduced wires in it to reduce the thermal mass.

It is crucial to note that, the work is done by those that are known to be excellent electrical workers. Skilled labor is also necessary since it ensures that accidents are reduced at a high rate. Failure to be selective on the individual working for you will lead to frustration, whereby the machine may fail to work as per the expectation.
