Seika Machinery Now Carries MALCOM RDT-250C Reflow Simulator
July 7, 2015 | Seika Machinery, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, now carries the MALCOM RDT-250C Reflow Simulator. The system can reproduce the temperature profile of a reflow oven while allowing operators to observe the melting state of solder paste and record the process.
The local matrix control system of the upper heater enables reflow soldering of the PCB in which the thermal capacity is balanced with the best heating temperature. Low power consumption provides excellent cost/performance benefits. Additionally, the RDT-250C can accommodate full size PCB boards for testing (250 x 330mm).
Each heating stage sets the temperature as well as the time. This makes it possible to change the time that keeps the reflow peak temperature free. The operator can observe the state of soldering through wide glass windows from the rear of the unit. An optional video camera capture system can be purchased to record the reflow process with profiles.
The system reproduces nearly the same conditions as an actual reflow oven by using the hot air of the upper-heater and the extreme infrared radiation of the lower heater together.
The MALCOM RDT-250C can heat in N2 atmospheres and control the N2 concentration with the O2 Oxygen Analyzer, OAS-1, and N2 flow adjustable function (OAS-1 is optional). For more information, contact Michelle Ogihara at michelle@seikausa.com or visit www.seikausa.com.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Solder Mask and Legend
01/02/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we discussed the strip, etch, and strip process. At this point, we have a functioning board, but we still need to protect the PCB from environmental effects and document the circuit components. This brings us to the solder mask and legend phase of production.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
