BTU International, Inc. today announced plans to exhibit with EPP Electronic Production Partners GmbH at SMT Hybrid Packaging. The event is scheduled to take place May 16-18, 2017, in Nuremberg, Germany. BTU representatives will demonstrate the PYRAMAX reflow oven with the WINCON connected factory interface in booth 4-551.
“Our WINCON platform has proved to be a powerful tool in delivering solutions for Industry 4.0,” said Peter Tallian, general manager of BTU International. “Our connected factory interface and related solutions set the benchmark for Industry 4.0 implementation."
WINCON is an advanced windows-based software system for controlling the operation of BTU thermal processing equipment. WINCON combines both the simplicity of a graphical user interface with powerful diagnostic and analytical tools. WINCON is used in conjunction with BTU’s proprietary INTELLIMAX control board on all BTU systems, including the PYRAMAX family of convection reflow ovens.
INTELLIMAX platform has been powering BTU ovens and furnaces for the past decade; WINCON 6.0 adds support for the next-generation controller INTELLIMAX2: an incredibly powerful, scalable and flexible control platform that delivers precise control to ensure process optimization and availability.
