Rehm Thermal Systems America to Begin User-Specific Condensation Reflow Process Characterizations
Share:
Rehm Thermal Systems will begin offering their customers in the Americas product specific process characterizations utilizing their void free Condenso Soldering systems. The new service will begin shortly after APEX EXPO April 6-8.
The new Applications Center, opened last year in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell, has been designed to provide Rehm customers with everything needed to perform reflow process characterizations on their own products. Rehm will showcase their uniquely designed, void free vacuum-capable Condenso soldering system at APEX in early April.
By incorporating a totally hermetic locked vacuum chamber, Condenso can combine Vacuum with the heating process without board movement throughout the total soldering process from preheat until cooling; thus eliminating the risk of component movement typical of continuous motion system designs. This results in measurably lower scrap rates and improved cost of ownership. By not moving the product between soldering and vacuum there is also no time or heat lost between these process steps. The Condenso system is unique in that vacuum can be applied directly and without delay at the point where the required temperature is reached.
Rehm Thermal Systems, celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, has operated directly in North America for over a decade, and the Roswell Applications Center is a continuation of their ongoing global infrastructure growth plan. With thousands of reflow ovens in operation throughout the world, Rehm remains the only single source for both convection and condensation soldering systems.
"We're excited to now be offering even better opportunities to enable next generation reflow processes for our expanding customer base in North America," commented John Bashe, Rehm General Manager. "New lead free conversions and complex high thermal mass products stress most traditional reflow processes. Rehm has a 20 year history delivering advanced thermal solutions to meet these kinds of challenges."
Also on display at APEX is The VisionXP's convection reflow residue management system that combines pyrolysis action in the preheating and peak range with cold condensation in the cooling zone. Pyrolysis is the thermally induced decomposition of organic compounds. Complex molecules are broken down into simpler substances with the use of elevated temperatures in a largely oxygen free environment. Liquid residues (drip formation in particular) and crystalline residues are drastically reduced enabling higher efficiency than any system in the market and dramatically increased maintenance intervals..
