Seika Machinery Now Carries MALCOM RDT-250C Reflow Simulator
July 7, 2015 | Seika Machinery, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, now carries the MALCOM RDT-250C Reflow Simulator. The system can reproduce the temperature profile of a reflow oven while allowing operators to observe the melting state of solder paste and record the process.
The local matrix control system of the upper heater enables reflow soldering of the PCB in which the thermal capacity is balanced with the best heating temperature. Low power consumption provides excellent cost/performance benefits. Additionally, the RDT-250C can accommodate full size PCB boards for testing (250 x 330mm).
Each heating stage sets the temperature as well as the time. This makes it possible to change the time that keeps the reflow peak temperature free. The operator can observe the state of soldering through wide glass windows from the rear of the unit. An optional video camera capture system can be purchased to record the reflow process with profiles.
The system reproduces nearly the same conditions as an actual reflow oven by using the hot air of the upper-heater and the extreme infrared radiation of the lower heater together.
The MALCOM RDT-250C can heat in N2 atmospheres and control the N2 concentration with the O2 Oxygen Analyzer, OAS-1, and N2 flow adjustable function (OAS-1 is optional). For more information, contact Michelle Ogihara at michelle@seikausa.com or visit www.seikausa.com.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
