BTU to Display New Aurora Platform in Asia at NEPCON China 2023
June 19, 2023 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing market, will exhibit its new Aurora reflow platform at NEPCON China. The show is scheduled to take place July 19-21, 2023 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. The new Aurora 150N, 12-zone reflow oven will be on display in booth #1D38.
Aurora systems feature modern conveyor options, fully updated user interface, integrated Aqua Scrub™ flux management technology, innovative Smart Power energy savings software, and advanced process control technologies. The Aurora’s conveyor system offers five moveable rails with advanced center support options as well as dual-lane, dual-speed configurations. The conveyor platform, which can accommodate even wider boards than previous models, was designed concurrently to allow for the use of common parts.
“The Aurora launch is the culmination of more than three years of development,” said Joe Yang, product manager for reflow ovens. “We’ve taken feedback from our customers, and blended it with current technology to create a better user experience and performance. We are thrilled to bring this to the Asian market after having great success in the recent launch at the SMTconnect show in Germany,” added Yang.
One of the major innovations for the Aurora platform is the new Wincon 8 oven control system. This proprietary software was designed to mimic the style of SEMI E95 compliant interfaces and features a simplified and configurable main monitor graphic. The updated GUI navigation for Wincon 8 uses icons instead of menus, which significantly enhances the language independence of the control system. Wincon’s Smart Power feature has been upgraded to use the facility power even more efficiently during oven start-up.
In the Aurora reflow oven, maintenance access, oven contamination, input power and process gas usage have all been improved and optimized to deliver the absolute minimum in Cost of Ownership. Aurora’s combination of superior thermal performance, process flexibility and vision for the future sets the new standard for reflow ovens today – and for tomorrow.

Learning With Leo: UHDI—The Next Leap in PCB Manufacturing
11/05/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoHigh density interconnect (HDI) technology has been a cornerstone of miniaturized electronics since Hewlett-Packard introduced the first chip-scale implementation in 1982. Over time, HDI processes became central to organic flip-chip packaging in the semiconductor industry. Today, the convergence of IC substrates and system-level PCBs has accelerated the adoption of UHDI.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Technology and Automated Inspection
11/03/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsFollowing up on the last article on integrating ultra high density interconnect (UHDI) PCB technologies and Quality 5.0, here we will do a deeper dive into the automated inspection component. UHDI applications demand extreme precision, with line/space dimensions below 25 µm and microvias below 30 µm. Automated inspection systems are essential to achieving the defect-free fabrication required at these scales, and legacy automated inspection systems are becoming obsolete and ineffective.
