Chapter 2 Equipment knowledge
1.Heating principle
1.1 Form of heater
The main part of structure of the heater is the high-nickel complex hot line in a metal tube filled
with calcium silicate material. It can quickly transfer inner heat to heat storage full metal plate and
regional air out of the tube. Each plate has inner 6mm and outer 8mm hot air circulation holes in each
25mm pitch. It can blow down laminar flow of high temperature hot air from hole.
1.2 Heating method
Hot air from the plate holes come to PCB surface, a variety of components and solder paste
(SMT adhesive).
Heat transfer to the PCB solder to ensure that temperature distribution in the machine and
uniformity of the heating temperature on the work piece.
1.3.Heating characteristics
Hot air from the plate can be passed to the PCB, solder and components, so that:
· Be able to directly heat the solder under shaded shaped components
· Be able to directly transfer heat to pad and solder
· To prevent overheating of parts
· Make different solder components temperature equilibration
· Make different positions of the solder components the temperature equilibrium
· Can weld on different materials PCB, such as: soft flexible panels

1.4.1 Temperature control detection point
Each zone is equipped with a standard thermocouple detection point, which is a static
temperature detection point,for testing represent temperature in that space. (The point is accurately
tested before leaving the factory, don’t shift it without confirmation by factory).
1.4.2 Temperature Controller
Industrial control computer for temperature detection of each temperature zone, PID control and
high-power SSR driver.
2. Temperature curve
2.1 Description:
Reflow machine is to heat the surface of the PCB with the paste components PADS bit, to make
solder melt and slurry heated under reflux, to obtain the predetermined temperature to the solder
paste , and without causing any damage to the PCB and components (for example, fuel combustion
or dark burning, etc.). IPC standards welding temperature diagram:
Line A: Used for solder paste soldering.
3
General in 60 seconds, PCB pad heats up from room temperature to 120-150 ℃, the rate at
3 ℃ / s or less; from 60 -180 seconds to 90-150 seconds stabilize at about 150 ℃, less than solder
paste melting point 183℃, so that the welding work piece reaches temperature equilibrium before the
paste slurry liquefaction; It stays 30 seconds from 183 ℃ to 210-230 ℃ so that solder paste can be
reflowed adequately.
Line B: used for fine pitch IC and tiny components (such as 1005) and other welding
techniques ,control temperature risen sharply in the preheating zone , postpone the flux in the solder
paste to soften slightly, control the tiny solder paste tin powder to form a solder ball together .
Line C : Used for general SMD adhesive curing.
Stay at 150 ℃ for about 3-5 minutes to maintain temperature curing time.
In order to obtain maximum yield in highly automated SMT production environment, before
starting machine must set heating temperature according to the paste heating chart. And, strict
supervision in working time. Waste PCB is recommended to help to set up the digital temperature
monitors of machine in use, in order to get the paste heating chart.
3. Set temperature curve

To obtain a given temperature curve, it requires a process of seeking temperature profile, that
refers to the temperature setting and speed of mesh. Changed Products, such as the board type,
thickness, component type, the array density, the pad bit areas and types of solder paste, shape of
printed tin, thickness, etc., will affect the temperature curves.The zone classification heated hot air
reflow equipment heat products by gradually completing preheating, drying, melting and heating
through progressively heating and solder paste. The first stage is a fast heating zone, in which, PCB
gets rapid warm-up; The second stage is a long slow heating eating zone, finish drying Solder of
PCBs in this stage; The third heating stage is for solder paste molten, after functional change in the
second stage, solder paste is rapidly heated and melted here, then get reflow; solder paste cooled
rapidly through the cooling zone, the above process forms a complete temperature curve.
Now most of the machines (combined with hot air or full hot air) adopt hot air heated to reflux,
that within the security of sensitive components, to avoid direct intense heating on components, top
4
heating is relatively stable, through the hot air convection and heat conduction on PADS and tin slurry
so that the surface components are welded stably. By this way, temperature curve is ease, the
temperature difference between zones is relatively reduced, and the second functional areas set
temperature is relatively increased.
Another change in control is the mesh speed. This will set the time that PCB board stays in oven.
To match the soldering process of PCBs. Multi-layer PCB boards requires a little longer time in the
machine,as it is thickner,relatively need a longer time to achieve a unified balanced heating.
Heaters on top and bottom are controlled independently, so that the board can be heated on top
or bottom surfaces. Thus, if the element is sensitive to heat, you can choose to heat its backside.That
means the bottom warming. About half of the total energy are used in the bottom preheat zone , this
peak HF energy can pre-warm the PCB board evenly , thus reducing the surface impact to damage
components, and reduce heat absorption of components. Small amount of energy is applied to the
top to minimize warpage. If an insensitive component is to be heated, the preheat temperature can
be set higher. Long-wave Energy from top and bottom dryness area may heat the tin point slowly
(and dryness). For hot air reflow in full hot fan, the top and bottom surfaces are mutual control and
relatively stable balance. The top surface temperature is relatively higher. In the recirculation zone,
full hot fan’s force micro hot air reflow will be used to melt and reflow solder paste.
Temperature curve is established by:
First, classify the PCB boards to determine the heat absorption, component types ,density and
degree of difficulty with the PCB production capacity in order to determine the top, bottom and reflux
strategy determining a point, a set of components and machines with a thermocouple is conducive to
promoting the process of temperature curves. But this is not essential, the starting point as
follows,take E8 for example:
ORIGIN POINT
ZONE: 1 ……Upper preheating zone ZONE: 2 ……First upper dry zone
ZONE: 3 ……Second upper dry zone ZONE: 4 ……Upper reflow zone
ZONE: 5 ……Lower preheating zone ZONE: 6 ……First lower dry zone
ZONE: 7 ……Second lower dry zone ZONE: 8 ……Lower reflow zone
General machine completes cooling function with natural cooling curve.
5
Note: These are general starting point (in the basis of four eight reflow temperature, the other by
analogy, the 1st preheat zone includes zone 1and 6.The 2nd,3rd ,and 4th drying zone includes zone
2,zone7,zone 3,zone 8,zone 4,and zone 9. The 5th reflowing zone refers to zone 5 and zone 10),
once the subject of a PCB board temperature curves for the End, similar to the PCB board is well on
the PCB can be affected by temperature map (in increasing tape speeds) as a starting point.
4. Temperature zone Description:

4.1 Preheating zone:
Preheating zone, also known as rapid heating zone, is used to preheat the PCB and solder paste
to improve the boiling temperature of the flux. In the bottom of the heating strategy, the temperature
zone is the key. Energy into the preheating zone, generally there is sufficient time to conduct or
radiate to the PCB, so that the board can quickly reach thermal stable equilibrium point, to ensure
sufficient time for the drying zone.
As effect of components’ thermal contingency, heating rate should be within 3 ℃ / sec,
otherwise it may damage relatively heat-sensitive components.
4.2 Dry zone:
Above mentioned temperature zone is a slow long-temperature zone, PCB stays in this
temperature zone for a longer time, after a quick warm-up, when the PCB through these areas, the
temperature fluctuations of PCB is small, in this almost constant temperature environment. Various
ingredients occur quickly and efficiently physical and chemical reactions of themselves, to do PADS
copper, tin and solder paste on PCB For preparation of the next step of melting and reflux, and the
solder paste will be dried slowly.
4.3. Reflow zone:
Represents the reflow soldering area, full hot air heating system provides the PCB enough
energy to melt and reflow the solder paste. In general, temperature on the upper zone is higher than
lower reflow oven in order to reflow the top of PCBs.
5.Temperature settings
5.1. Set the zone temperature and belt speed to be starting value (usually starting value is given
6
by machine manufacturer).
5.2. For annealing furnace, needs 20-30 minutes to warm up.
5.3. The temperature reaches equilibrium; make the sample PCB cross the heating zone, in
which the solder paste is set to reach reflux point. Such as: If reflow process does not occur, follow
step 4.If reflow too much, and maintain and correct the temperature settings, put the sample PCB
through the system again until reaching the reflux critical point, turn to step 4, as per when and only
when there is no or just inverse flow.
5.4. If reflux does not occur, reduce the belt speed 5% to 10%, for example: belt speed is
500mm/min without reflowing, make adjustment to 460 mm / min or so. Generally speaking, reducing
the belt speed of 10% will increase product reflux temperature about 30F. Or, without changing the
belt speed, appropriately increase the setting temperature, the temperature increasing rate should
take the standard reference curve as the center, adjust the temperature as per the difference
between actual temperature and standard curve, generally adjust the temperature at 5 ℃ for each
gradient, please note that the temperature adjustment should not exceed the capacity of PCBs and
the components.
5.5. Then make the PCB board reflowed with new belt speed or new setting temperature, if no
reflux occurs, back to step 4, otherwise make step 6, fine-tuning the temperature curve.
5.6. Temperature curves can be adjusted appropriately by the complexity of the PCB. You can
use mesh speed two scale (1-5% belt speed) to tune. Reducing mesh speed will improve the product
temperature. Conversely, increasing mesh speed will reduce product temperature.
5.7. Tips: If the PCB board with components is not fully reflowed through oven, adjust the
system and make another reflow into the reflow soldering, normally it will have no bad effects to the
PCB and components.
5.8. Generally set the temperature from low to high, if the temperature is too much larger than
the reflux temperature, please increase the belt speed or decrease setting temperature. Opposite to
Step 4.

Temperature curve is established by:

follows,take E8 for example:

ZONE: 1 ……Upper preheating zone ZONE: 2 ……First upper dry zone

ZONE: 3 ……Second upper dry zone ZONE: 4 ……Upper reflow zone

ZONE: 5 ……Lower preheating zone ZONE: 6 ……First lower dry zone

ZONE: 7 ……Second lower dry zone ZONE: 8 ……Lower reflow zone

General machine completes cooling function with natural cooling curve.

4. Temperature zone Description:
