What it is

The Heller 1088 is a forced-convection reflow oven used for surface-mount technology (SMT) printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The Heller 1088 is designed for medium- to high-volume PCB assembly. The Heller 1088 is suitable for both lead-free and leaded soldering processes.[2]

How it works

The Heller 1088 uses forced-convection heating to achieve consistent solder reflow. The Heller 1088 has eight heating zones, with four zones above the conveyor and four zones below. The Heller 1088 also includes one cooling zone. The Heller 1088 offers fast thermal response with good temperature uniformity. The oven supports recipe storage and programmable thermal profiles.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Reflow ovens are positioned after pick-and-place machines in the SMT assembly line. Reflow ovens melt solder paste to form permanent electrical and mechanical connections between surface-mount components and the PCB. After reflow, the assembled board typically moves to inspection and test stations.

Applications

The Heller 1088 is used for reflow soldering in PCB assembly. The Heller 1088 supports both lead-free and leaded solder paste processes.[2]
