Reflow Oven Set Up
Lower Electricity Use - Improve Production Quality

Technology for Lower Electricity Use

Navigator Power selects the best oven recipe based on user selected criteria:

• Minimum electricity use
• Deep in spec profile
• Maximized throughput
• Minimized oven changeover time

Where do the energy savings come from?

• Most reflow ovens are set up without considerations of electricity use
• Reflow ovens tend to run too hot and too fast
• Software simulation identifies the oven recipe that will yield the lowest electricity use based on the above criteria

When will the electricity savings be realized?

• Instantly

Case Studies

Several case studies reveal a typical electricity saving of approximately 15%. Review our articles to read the actual case studies.

What is required to achieve the electricity savings?

• Knowledge of the appropriate process window
• One initial profile run with TCs on the product
• Knowledge of minimum allowable reflow oven conveyor speed
• KIC Navigator Power and a KIC Profiler (works with SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profilers)
• Nothing else
