FAQ
The machines are developed in American-German cooperation.
The RD4040 is built in Germany and the USA. The Smartphase series is currently only produced in Germany.
The machines are built according to the European CE standard. UL certification can be reviewed on request.
In America, the machines are maintained directly by R&D. In Europe, this is done by the sales partners who have been trained on the machines.
We recommend the use of Galden. There are different types with different boiling points.
The liquids are not dangerous or harmful in any way.
The machines need a power and water connection. It is advisable to fit an extraction on the machine.
Nitrogen and compressed air are not required.
Vapor phase soldering requires about 70%-80% less energy than a conventional convection oven.
There is no risk of overheating. The maximum process temperature is equal to the boiling point of the liquid used. Temperature varies between 200*C and 260*C.
Yes, the process is an oxygen free. The fluid starts to evaporate and creates and inert atmosphere.
Inert means “chemically inactive”. It is an environment in which powder bed fusion can take place without the risk of contamination from reactive gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.
No, due to our soldering process being oxygen-free there is no need for nitrogen.
