MODEL 5100 – PROGRAMMABLE VACUUM/PRESSURE SOLDERING FURNACE

FOR HIGH PRODUCTION SOLDER ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

The Model 5100 is a programmable vacuum and pressure furnace offered by SST International for production soldering of high reliability electronic components. Advanced technology, provided by the system, allows users to create void-free solder joints without the use of flux.

The Model 5100 provides precise automatic control of heating and cooling ramp rates. This system allows for rapid heating up to 450 ºC and rapid cooling in an inert gas environment from vacuum levels below 10 millitorr to pressures up to 40 psig. Machine control is provided by an embedded control system operating in a Microsoft Windows® environment. An unlimited number of process profiles can easily be created and stored in the controller. An optional enhanced control system provides real-time profile graphing and data logging for quality control and off-line data analysis. Process heating is provided over the entire work area by a close-coupled planar infrared heating element. Custom-machined locating fixtures may be ordered to use with the standard heated platen. An optional rapid cooling system can be provided to cool the process area while still under vacuum.

CONTROL SYSTEM

  
The 5100 utilizes a distributed logic system that links intelligent temperature and pressure controllers to a Microsoft Windows® based control. All process parameters are controlled automatically with user-edited programs for each application. Multiple temperature and pressure ramp and dwell cycles are easily programmed as time-based events. Vacuum levels, gas pressures and flow rates are independently programmable. Furnace operating characteristics are continuously monitored and the operator is alerted to any unusual conditions. The operator interface utilizes a color LCD display and a standard PC keyboard. An optional enhanced control system provides an operator touch screen, real-time graphing of temperature and pressure, together with data logging of all profile runs for quality control and process profile analysis.
