The RF100 Convection Soldering Reflow Oven is a practical benchtop size reflow oven for the manufacturing and reworking of SMT products. The Reflow oven has a large intuitive graphical display. The intuitive menu navigation is controlled by a membrane keypad. The Benchtop Reflow oven uses highly efficient infrared heating elements, and has several thermocouple temperature gauges. Due to this and the precise evaluation by the microprocessor, the temperature curve of the reflow process is very precise, and the temperature in the respective reflow sections is very uniform.
The Desktop RF100 Batch PCB Solder Reflow oven has been designed for the reflow of all common high temperature alloys, including both Lead and Lead free solder paste creams which can be processed to facilitate the mounting of SMD (Surface Mount Devices). The Reflow oven has an automatic error detection function with alarm. There is a software package included that allows remote programming and real time monitoring and control of the oven via a Windows PC. This software is a very useful aid for Thermal profiling.
This product has a variety of applications such as reflow soldering, repairing, prototyping, drying, gluing and so on. It is suitable for SMT small series, for research and development of electronic products, school, education and study. We recommend using the oven with a suitable fume extraction station such as the EX101
The Batch Reflow stove is very well insulated by a special Aluminum silicate cotton, which reduces energy consumption, protects the circuit and allows optimal operation and keeps the temperature within the oven uniform and constant.

As part of the SMT process the temperature profile must be programmed with the correct time and temperature parameters to suit the particular Thermal profile of the alloy composition of Solder paste being used. To achieve this there are 5 Fully Programmable Re-flow phases which briefly comprise:-
- Preheating (Ramp up to Soak) – Circuit board is heated from room temperature to remove residual moisture or gases and reduce thermal stress on the circuit board.
- Heating (Thermal Soak) – Circuit board is heated further until the flux contained in the Solder paste becomes liquid.
- Soldering (Re-flow Zone) -In this phase the solder should become liquid such that components float and automatically center and align with the surface tension of the liquid solder.
- Hold Dwell Time – This is particularly useful for high temperature solders to allow solidification to occur slowly. Generally the temperature is set at 10-20 Degrees lower than the solder melting point.
- Cooling Zone – Oven is no longer heated and natural cooling is accelerated by a fan.
