Rehm Delivers 4,000th Reflow Soldering System
February 24, 2016 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rehm Thermal Systems has delivered its 4,000th reflow soldering system at the end of January. The VisionXP+ was delievered to Diehl Controls, a manufacturer of electronic components for the household appliance industry, for hardware and software solutions for central control units in buildings, and for products for energy management systems.
To date, Rehm has delivered 45 systems to Diehl, most of which were reflow convection soldering systems. The majority of them are still in productive use at sites in Germany, China, Poland and Mexico. The new VisionXP+ is currently one of eight Rehm systems used for production at Diehl Controls' site in Wangen im Allgäu, Germany.
"We are very pleased to have such reliable experts and skilled thermal system solution suppliers by our side. Our two companies have strong innovative aspirations, technological know-how and excellent product quality," said Katrin Laudensack, Operations Director for Diehl Controls at the plant in Wangen im Allgäu.
"Throughout every project in our many years of cooperation, the team headed by Managing Director Johannes Rehm has always been open and motivated to strike out in new directions and, in doing so, successfully meet the challenges we have faced. This has enabled us to find many individual process solutions together and continually develop ourselves further. These values have been the excellent basis for our cooperation since then," explained Anton Schwarz, Production Manager at Diehl Controls. He established contact with the company Rehm back in 1993, and ordered the first soldering system in 1996.
Diehl Controls was one of the first major customers to receive high-quality equipment from Rehm Thermal Systems after its founding in 1990. "We greatly value the trust placed in us and thank Diehl Controls for its positive cooperation, in which many new ideas and systems have been developed and a trusting business relationship has been forged. We look forward to many more ground-breaking projects," commented Wolfgang Zeifang, who is now the Technical Operations Manager at Rehm and has been involved in the partnership with Diehl right from the beginning.

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.
