FAQ

The core function of the SMT oven profiler (also known as the reflow soldering/wave soldering temperature curve tester) is to accurately measure and record the actual temperature change over time in the soldering furnace during the electronic assembly process. Therefore, its application scope is mainly concentrated in the industry of electronic soldering process that requires precise temperature control.
VCAM is a professional thermometer manufacturer, and its products have been sold and applied to many Fortune 500 companies. Thermometers are widely used in the following industries:

1. Electronic Manufacturing Services and Contract Manufacturing:**
This is the most core application area. Any factory that performs SMT (surface mount technology) and through patches-hole insertion (THT), regardless of size, needs to use an oven temperature tester to establish, verify and monitor the temperature curve of the reflow soldering furnace, wave soldering furnace, and selective soldering furnace to ensure the quality of soldering (reduce false soldering, cold soldering, tombstoning, thermal damage to components, etc.).

2. Consumer Electronics:
The circuit board manufacturing of almost all consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, TVs, game consoles, smart watches, headphones, and home appliance control boards require precise soldering temperature control.

3. Automotive electronics:
The automotive industry has extremely high requirements for the reliability and safety of electronic products. PCB assembly of key components such as engine control units, body control modules, infotainment systems, sensors, ADAS systems, etc. must be strictly tested for furnace temperature to meet automotive industry standards.

4. Industrial control and automation:
The working environment of circuit boards in industrial equipment such as PLC, inverters, servo drives, HMI, industrial computers, sensors, instruments, etc. may be relatively harsh, and the requirements for welding reliability are also very high.

5. Communication equipment:
The core board manufacturing of communication and network equipment such as base station equipment, routers, switches, optical modules, servers, etc. requires high-precision welding and temperature monitoring.

6. Medical electronic equipment:
Medical equipment (such as monitors, imaging equipment, diagnostic equipment, implantable devices) has extremely strict requirements for the reliability and safety of electronic components. Furnace temperature testing is a key step to ensure welding quality and components from thermal damage, and must comply with medical industry regulations.

7. Aerospace and defense electronics:
Aircraft avionics systems, satellite communication equipment, radar, military communication equipment, etc. have the highest requirements for the reliability and extreme environment resistance of electronic products. Oven temperature testing is an essential means to ensure welding quality and long-term reliability, and must meet strict industry standards.

8. LED lighting:
The driver power board and LED module board of high-power LED lamps need to consider heat dissipation and thermal stress during welding, and furnace temperature testing helps optimize the process.

9. Computers and servers:
Manufacturing of core components such as motherboards, graphics cards, memory bars, storage devices, and server motherboards.

10. New energy (photovoltaic, energy storage):
Manufacturing of control boards and power boards for power electronic equipment such as photovoltaic inverters and battery management systems.

In summary, as long as an industry involves the use of reflow ovens, wave soldering ovens, selective soldering ovens or other similar thermal processing equipment for the welding and assembly of electronic components (SMT and/or THT), then the SMT furnace temperature tester is an indispensable process monitoring and quality assurance tool in the production process of the industry. It is a key equipment to ensure welding yield, product reliability and compliance with relevant industry standards.
