PCB Soldering Equipment Product Catalog

I. Reflow Oven Series | Precision Soldering Solutions for SMT Surface‑Mount Technology

Reflow soldering is the core automated process for SMT surface‑mount assembly. In compliance with international electronics assembly standards IPC‑A‑610 and J‑STD‑001, it uses controlled multi‑stage temperature profiles to complete solder paste activation, preheating, thermal soak, reflow melting and controlled cooling. It forms reliable metallurgical joints between SMD components and PCB pads, and resolves process consistency issues for micro‑components and multi‑pin packaged chips. It is standard production equipment for consumer electronics, industrial controls and semiconductor packaging.

This product line covers four mainstream reflow technologies: hot‑air, infrared, vapor‑phase and vacuum. All units adopt industrial PID closed‑loop temperature control, independent modular heating zones and closed‑loop hot‑air circulation. They support lead‑free, low‑temperature and high‑temperature solder paste processes, compatible with single‑sided, double‑sided and multi‑layer precision SMT PCBs. The range fulfills production needs from prototype sampling to high‑volume automated manufacturing.

We can select proper equipment models and fine‑tune process parameters based on component specifications, PCB layer stack‑up, production output and workshop conditions.
