5 vs 8-Zone Ovens
5 vs 8-Zone Ovens
We are setting up an assembly line for small line production. We prefer a 5-zone oven. Will five zones be enough to ensure a reliable reflow process?

Why Do Our Boards Warp During Reflow?
Why Do Our Boards Warp During Reflow?
Board flexing has started to occur on one of our circuit board assemblies, yet our process has remained the same. We are using a three-zone reflow oven. Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall, The Assembly Brothers, discuss this scenario and share their recommendations.
