Miyachi Europe Unveils Uniflow-4 power supply – ideal for hot bar reflow soldering, heat sealing, conductive adhesive bonding and heat staking
Article Type: New products From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 24, Issue 3
Miyachi Europe, supplier of laser and resistance welding systems and laser marking products, announces the release of its new Uniflow-4 pulsed heat control system, a power supply that provides targeted heating and precision temperature control for hot bar reflow soldering, heat seal bonding, conductive adhesive bonding and heat staking. The new model is a major update, with a variety of new hardware improvements, process control features and flexible options.
The Uniflow-4 is ideal for the assembly of medical devices, cellular phones, on-board computers, LCD monitors, laptops, and cockpit instrumentation and displays. Versatile and powerful, the Uniflow-4 can be used in numerous joining applications, including open-windowed flex attachment, flex to PCB or LCD, and wire to substrate pads.
The new Uniflow-4 power supply is available as a standard unit with a built-in transformer and is an ideal option for many automation installations. A second auxiliary thermocouple input can monitor the temperature of the tooling nest, providing additional process verifications with programmed temperature limits. Improved control and tuning algorithms have been added for applications requiring faster temperature rise, and more control setting choices allow the user to optimize temperature rise and overshoot.
The new model offers a host of other new features, including seven programmable output relays, 15 programmable relay states, an optional transformer with higher secondary voltages for select applications, and an optional 2 kVA transformer for lower energy applications that require a smaller and lighter weight transformer.
The updated Uniflow-4 is now equipped with an LCD backlight on/off feature with power on indicator and an additional choice of process timing based on time at preheat and reflow temperatures. Separate relay outputs for alarm conditions and out of temperature limits in the extensive digital and analogue I/O set improve process visibility.
“The updated Uniflow-4 has a variety of new features that make it an even more powerful and user-friendly process instrument,” said John van der Linden, Sales Manager of Miyachi Europe. “Throughout the development of this product, our colleagues at MIYACHI UNITEK worked to create an even more comprehensive and informative user interface.”
