BTU Will Demo New Comprehensive RecipePro Prediction Tool at productronica China
February 15, 2016 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing and alternative energy markets, will exhibit in Booth #E1-1106 at productronica China, scheduled to take place March 15-17, 2016, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. BTU will showcase its RecipePro recipe generator software, jointly developed with Electronic Controls Design Inc. (ECD), as well as highlight the latest version of the Energy Pilot software and Industry 4.0 compliant solutions.
Integrating ECD’s recipe generator technology into BTU’s advanced reflow systems offers manufacturers a streamlined and effective approach to initial recipe generation for higher yield results. The profiler will reduce non-productive time by streamlining the set-up process. RecipePro is the only recipe generation tool in the industry to include convection rate in the recipe generator algorithm, pairing it perfectly with PYRAMAX™’s closed loop convection control. RecipePro is included with new Pyramax reflow ovens that are configured with convection control.
The Energy Pilot software saves manufacturers money whenever the oven is idle. Standby mode can save more than 25 percent. Sleep mode can be used for longer interruptions saving more than 40 percent. Long idle periods fully shut down the oven using hibernate mode. Recovery times are minimized using remote product sensors and SMEMA. Operation is fully automatic and results in an overall reduction in electrical, air and nitrogen consumption. The feature takes advantage of the Pyramax’s superior response time allowing the oven to return to ready very quickly, not disrupting product flow.
Energy Pilot and RecipePro are features of BTU’s proprietary Wincon operating system and are available to existing Pyramax users by upgrading Wincon to the latest version.
