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,” added Tallian.
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.

The Chemical Connection: Sales Organization from a Capital Equipment Perspective
07/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThe sales organization for a capital equipment supplier to the PCB industry tends to differ slightly from a supplier that manufactures and sells circuit boards to their customers. After all, our sales depend on the printed circuit board manufacturer’s sales. If business falls off, you tend to delay or reconsider the need for new or upgraded capital equipment, and then our sales fall off. If your sales go up and you need to increase capacity or replace old equipment, our sales also trend upwards.
