Maintaining Oven Performance while Reducing the Cost of Reflow
Reflow ovens are among the largest energy consumers in the SMT process, with nearly half of their operating time spent in non-processing modes such as setup, idle, and hold. While operators may lower set points or power down ovens during downtime, this requires manual intervention and risks delays. To address the issue, a software tool…

BTU’s older furnaces (from 1988 – 2002) utilized an FCU control module to communicate from the computer to the furnace. This technology was release more than 2 decades ago as the main communications network for all our furnaces. These units, along with computers operating on Windows® XP and Windows® 7, are no longer available and…
Read MoreProfile Guardian
Profile Guardian pairs a thermocouple probe at product height with software to monitor temperature deviation from baseline – independent from control TCs. The redundant process monitor is aware of reflow oven state (recipe change, energy savings modes, etc.), and monitor data can be included in host communications (MES) from the oven. Additionally, it provides board…
Read MoreRecipe Pro
RecipePro is the industry’s first recipe generator to include convection rate as part of the generator algorithm. Competitive solutions ignore convection rate, a key heat transfer component used to generate starting recipes in their offerings. BTU and Electronics Control Design (ECD) have solved this problem by introducing RecipePro.
