General description :

Picture REFLOW001-USB reflow controller
Enclosure REFLOW001-USB

A REFLOW001-USB controller makes it possible to use a kitchen oven for reflow soldering purposes. By means of a USB connection the controller communicates with a desktop computer. Different temperature profiles can be configured in the desktop application. These profiles then can be uploaded to the embedded hardware. After the user has selected a profile the reflow soldering proces can be started. An embedded PID algorythm takes care that the oven temperature follows the current profile as close as possible. During operation, soldering proces variables are displayed.


Applications :

  • Do It Yourself (DIY) reflow toaster oven.
  • General temperature control.
