Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
The 1800 EXL is a high-speed, high-volume reflow oven that supports throughput at speeds up to 40 inches (one meter) per minute and is designed to deliver identical thermal profiles in either air or nitrogen atmospheres.[5]
How it works
The Heller 1800 EXL features an enlarged heating tunnel with a baffle-free design that provides 25% higher airflow, enhancing temperature uniformity, zone-to-zone and oven-to-oven repeatability, and high-load handling. The oven uses rapid-response temperature controls to ensure process uniformity regardless of component density or board loading. A computer-controlled automatic lubrication system minimizes maintenance, and an easy-clean flux filtration system with a disposable filter removes up to 95% of flux from the atmosphere while the oven continues running. The oven also includes a five-thermocouple board profiling capability and can store up to 500 temperature recipes and 500 profile graphs.[5]
The 1800 EXL operates on 208/240 VAC three-phase power and is available with both edge rail and mesh belt conveyor options.[4]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a typical SMT assembly line, the reflow oven is placed downstream of the pick-and-place machine, which has positioned components on the solder-paste-covered board, and upstream of inspection and test stations. The oven applies the thermal profile that solidifies all solder joints in a single pass.
