#Reflow oven update#

UPDATE -> Also check the following reflow controllers: More details and documentation are available at Github and at ESTechnical official website. To follow the tutorials make sure of each step or get help from an expert because this project operates with possibly lethal mains voltage.

You can check the Reflow Oven Accessories Package.ĭetailed steps of the installation process are listed here. In order to fit your ESTechnical Reflow Oven Controller to T962A, SMTHouse reflow oven infrared IC Heater soldering machine, you will need some tools that are not included in the packing list. For the fan motor, Phase Fired control has been implemented. The heater AC load is controlled using Wave Packet control in order to minimize RF interference and load on the relay.

#Reflow oven software#

The software uses PID control of the heater and fan output for improved temperature stability.

Note: Requires Arduino IDE 1.5.x or newer.

drive two AC loads, such as heater and fan.

simple, small hardware to drive loads up to 600V and up to 8A.

stores up to 30 temperature profiles in EEPROM.

solely controlled using a cheap rotary encoder and its single button.

using an Adafruit 1.8″ TFT or derivate display.

graphic TFT LC-Display, drawing the temperature curves.

Wave Packet and Phase Fired control for AC outputs.

The Arduino-based reflow oven controller comes with: The board contains a very simple Zero crossing detection circuit, used to align control logic to mains frequency, two MAX31855 thermocouple-to-digital converters and two Sharp S202S01 PCB-mount solid state relays, mounted on Fischer SK409 50,8 heat sinks.

#Reflow oven pro#

This reflow oven is built around the Arduino Pro Micro, an Adafruit TFT color LCD, and around two solid state relays, one for the heating elements and one for the convection fan. Having an Arduino based reflow oven controller with a graphic LCD opens up a world of possibilities to solder surface mount devices. ESTechnical, a hardware manufacturer based in UK, works hard to produce open source hardware gadgets and contribute its best to make the hardware tools much better, had made a great product, the $15 Reflow Oven Controller. Need to clean your flux filters in line with traps and condensers? Keep your reflow oven working at peak efficiency with another KYZEN maintenance cleaner, KYZEN E5322.Īfter cleaning these traps and filters, you will achieve improved performance of your reflow oven and a more robust reflow profile.A reflow oven is one of the most useful tools for hardware developers, a machine used primarily for reflow soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed circuit boards (PCB). While the line is known for its effective performance cleaning, it’s still good to understand how the two products work and which is best for your reflow oven cleaning needs: CYBERSOLV C8502 These products can be used to clean the entire inside and outside surfaces of your reflow system. Its ease of use and high cleaning power makes it one of the top maintenance cleaning chemistries in KYZEN’s tool belt. To help remedy these problems, KYZEN has developed a special line of products that carry the CYBERSOLV brand name. The fingers of the chains inside the reflow oven can become damaged by excessive flux residue causing the printed circuit boards to be improperly cleaned.Decreased performance of the reflow oven due to improper air flow via convection.Flux residues dripping on PCBs from interior oven surfaces.

Built-up flux residues inside reflow ovens can cause problems in the reflow process, which can include three main issues:
