Theory of Operation
The DeltaTherm IR Cure Module is an infra-red (IR) curing machine that can handle multiple
boards. Upstream and downstream ends are SMEMA (Surface Mount Equipment
Manufacturers Association) rated for use in a production line. The system is designed to
operate with PVA workcells.
The operator controls the machine with the operator interface; this includes setup, manual
operation, and automatic operation. Machine status and error messages are shown on the
screen and the light tower. The operator(s) must, by reading the manual or by training,
understand the operation of this machine. Any uses other than those listed above could
result in a dangerous condition and cannot be protected against by the safety features
installed on the system.

Personal Protective Equipment
Operators must use eye protection. Always wear gloves when handling materials and
solvents. Refer to MSDS sheets on the material being dispensed for other precautions.
Waste Disposal
Dispose of all used parts and materials in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Hazards Due to Contact
The DeltaTherm IR Cure Module is made to minimize injury from contact with any
accessible portion of the machine. In some modes, it is possible to access the work area
while the machine operates. Only a qualified person should do this. All hot surfaces have a
warning label.
