Reel to Reel Electrical Pin Solder Reflow System

High-performance reel-to-reel infrared tin reflow system designed for continuous processing of electrical pin ribbon. The system integrates focused infrared heating, precision motion control, active cooling, and safety interlocks into a compact, operator-friendly unit.

System Overview:

36 kW infrared heating array with six line heaters
- Three front side and three back side, focused directly on the tinned ribbon surface
- Heater height independently adjustable (0–2″) via precision stepper motors to accommodate various part geometries.
- Heater output fully adjustable (0–100%)
Air knife cooling section
- Two-stage design with one 6″ knife and a triple 6″ knife bank (8 air knives total)
- Independent air flow adjustment via regulator and needle valve
Dripless water fittings for each heater to simplify setup and maintenance
Solenoid valve enables water on/off control during operation
Flow switch and thermostat interlocks protect heaters from overheating
Constructed from smooth sided, 1.5″ square extruded aluminum.
Operator side enclosed with tinted polycarbonate panels for visibility and glare protection
Frame dimensions: 84″ L × 48″ H × 20″ D with leveling feet for precision setup

Controls and Data Collection:

Touchscreen HMI displays real time line speed, heater output %, and alarm status
Password-protected setup screens ensure process integrity
Event log screen tracks system events, errors, and interlock status for traceability
Operator starts process via recipe selection and “Start” button after safe threading and guard checks
