Reflow Ovens

Reflow ovens are essential machines used in surface-mount technology (SMT) to solder electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). The process involves heating the entire PCB assembly to melt solder paste applied during the stencil printing stage. Reflow ovens typically have multiple heating zones—preheat, soak, reflow, and cooling—each precisely controlled for optimal temperature profiles. This ensures uniform soldering, minimizes thermal stress, and prevents defects like cold joints or tombstoning. Modern reflow ovens support lead-free soldering and feature nitrogen atmosphere options for oxidation-free results. They are widely used in high-volume electronics manufacturing for consistent, reliable, and automated soldering performance.
