Key Features:
- Precision temperature control unit designed for solder paste applications
- To prevent process contamination, the conditioned air is passed through a filter before entering the TCU
- Fail-safe condensate sensor with TCU shutdown in the base of the unit to detect water in the event that the condensate container has not been re-fitted after emptying
- Two capacitive level sensors monitor the condensate level
- BOFA's SureCHECK quality standard
The Temperature control unit (TCU) has been designed to meet a very specific process requirement within the electronics sector. The reliable placement of surface mount devices during PCB assembly requires that during the initial printing stage the solder paste is maintained at a temperature that ensures optimum performance.
With assembly now on a global basis, the variation of local climate and factory conditions means that this optimum level cannot be maintained without some form of intervention.
The design of the TCU includes cooling and heating elements which ensure that the temperature within the printing environment is maintained within 1oC of the optimum paste performance temperature regardless of whether the factory ambient is above or below this level.
