PCO 1280
Heller Pressure Curing oven
The Heller Pressure Curing Oven utilizes a specialized pressure chamber designed to effectively minimize voiding and enhance adhesion strength. This system simplifies the production workflow by removing the necessity for certain pre-cure stages, such as prebake and plasma steps. Optional vacuum chambers can be integrated with Heller PCO units to facilitate shorter overall cycle times. While a constant pressure is maintained within the chamber, the internal atmosphere (Air or Nitrogen) is processed through a convection heater module. The heated medium is circulated by a high-reliability fan motor, ensuring continuous flow across the pressure chamber and providing consistent thermal distribution on the product.
Highlights:
Building on our innovations in SMT solder reflow, including full-convection technology and efficient nitrogen usage, we now offer a complete family of custom pressure curing and reflow ovens designed for a wide range of pressure-based applications.
Heller provides multiple pressure curing oven models with various chamber sizes suitable for R&D environments and high-volume production, with optional cleanroom and automation configurations.
These systems maintain constant chamber pressure while heated air (or nitrogen) circulates through a convection heater module. The high-reliability fan motor moves heated air continuously across the pressure chamber to deliver uniform thermal processing.
An optional vacuum pump can be added to improve void removal. Vacuum is applied at the beginning of the curing cycle to eliminate larger voids, while smaller voids are removed later under pressure. Using both vacuum and pressure can help achieve shorter cycle times.
