A.  Air Flow Meter   

 

This device is used to control and monitor the airflow  
through the reflow head. 

B.  Sensor Input 

 

 

The sensor inputs are K-type thermo-couples.   
Measured temperatures are displayed through the PC  
software in real time for use in making profile graphs. 

C.  Cooling Fan 

 

 

The component and PCB are cooled by the cooling fan, 

 

 

 

 

 

which can be set to activate automatically after the  
reflow cycle is complete or operated manually. 

D.  LCD Display Monitor 

 

Displays PC software.  

E.  Keyboard 

 

 

Used to enter information into software. 

F.  Reflow Head 

 

 

Contains the top-side heater and moves up and down  
via an electric motor that is controlled through the  
software.  The reflow head is clutched to prevent  
excessive downward force from being applied.
