Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Prototype Reflow Monitoring System (RMS)

Attila Lukacs
Abstract:
This research work relates to the soldering process observation in reflow ovens. The need for full continuous monitoring of reflow processes is more and more in the electronics technology. Today process monitoring of reflow soldering is based on temperature curve as a minimum requirement. A real time video observation functionality which allows control the flow of product through the reflow oven, this feature can make a very powerful control system. Based on this need for full process control, it has been developed a prototype system for visual monitoring of soldering process in an inline reflow oven during operation. The developed reflow monitoring system (called RMS) is able to pass through the reflow oven whilst observe and record video of solder joint formation on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The RMS continuously can transfer data through WIFI connection to mobile phone as well.
