PREHEATERS

PCB preheating prior to the soldering process is usually conducted to activate flux which is inert at room temperature and reduce the risk of thermal component shock which can occur when high temperature solder contacts leaded devices.

The recognised industry standard for topside PCB heating is 110degrees at a ramp rate of between 2-3 degrees per second. Pillarhouse offer closed loop IR temperature measurement options via pyrometer or thermocouple so that the machine operator can create the desired temperature profile to meet the specific PCB preheat requirements.

Pillarhouse offer integrated Infra Red Preheat options within the Jade, Jade Handex, Orissa Synchrodex and Orissa MPR selective soldering systems.

Additionally our preheat modules can be configured with a combination of top and bottom side Infra Red (IR) lamps and with our new Synchrodex style unit, convection pre-heat is also an option.
