IBL Vapor Phase Services and Options

 

Designed to combine precision, reliability, and performance, IBL’s vapor phase technology ensures optimal soldering quality for all types of SMD assemblies, including PCBs, DBG, and IGBT components, up to 15 kg. IBL vapor phase furnaces deliver uniform heating with no cold joints, a precisely controlled reflow peak (SnAg ≤ 240 °C), and an inert atmosphere without nitrogen injection. With power consumption as low as 0.9 to 4.9 kWh depending on the model, it’s also the most cost-effective solution on the market. This page presents all available services and options to customise your IBL equipment to meet your specific needs:  wireless thermal profiling, Resy repair tool, or the addition of a cooling unit, Galden® fluid / heat transfer fluid.

Outillage de dessoudage doux des PCB en brasage phase vapeur

Why equip your vapor phase machine with a PCBa repair accessory?

The Resy Rework Tool offers a gentle and controlled desoldering solution for complex CMS components (BGA, QFN, DFN, QFP…), without damaging either the board or the component. The patented process developed by IBL ensures fast, cost-effective, and fully repeatable repairs, while extending the lifespan of salvaged components.

Dessoudage des PCBa en brasage phase vapeur

Compatible with all vapor phase furnaces

 

Compatible with all vapor phase furnaces, this tool optimizes your PCBa repair operations by generating minimal thermal stress, thanks to full board reflow. No reballing is necessary: the solder paste remains directly on the component.

How does the Resy Rework Tool work?

 

The Resy Rework Tool is cold-mounted onto the component using a high-temperature adhesive, then the assembly is placed in the vapor phase reflow zone. Once the solder joints are melted, the system automatically lifts the component in a controlled manner and without mechanical force. This controlled thermal extraction ensures the integrity of both PCBs and components, allowing them to be reused.

Wireless thermal profiling of IBL vapor phase machine

Why integrate a wireless thermal profiling solution into your vapor phase machine?

 

In a vacuum environment, thermocouple communication is often inadequate, as the chamber surrounding the PCB blocks any connection between sensor and control system.
To address this issue, we equip our machines with a wireless profiling solution that transmits either delayed (via internal memory data logger) or real-time (via Bluetooth communication) data during the vacuum process. This technology uses a 2.4 GHz wireless link.

  • Accurate, safe, and automated profiling
  • Exportable data (XML, TXT)
  • Instant visualization of temperature and pressure profiles on a single graph
  • Advanced quality control tools: SPC charting, profile simulation, software-based analysis…
Vapor phase chiller unit

How to operate in a closed loop with a vapor phase furnace?

 

Why integrate a chiller unit into your vapor phase furnace?

 
Integrating a chiller unit into a vapor phase furnace enables closed-loop operation for the condensation chamber’s cooling. Water circulates in a loop between the furnace and the cooling unit: it enters the machine at a temperature between 18°C (64°F) and 20°C (68°F), and exits at around 35°C (95°F). This solution helps meet growing environmental requirements by avoiding the discharge of used water into sewage systems.

How to integrate a chiller unit into your vapor phase furnace?

 

Chiller units are available in INDOOR or OUTDOOR versions. For indoor configurations, the unit is installed close to the machine, but its presence can cause non-negligible thermal dissipation in the workspace. For this reason, outdoor installation—on the ground or rooftop—is often preferred, especially in laboratories with limited space.

Industrial furnaces committed to ecological transition and CSR

Energy control of your vapor phase soldering machine’s consumption

 
While installation causes a slight increase in power consumption, it is quickly offset by the cost savings on water and the flow rates required to operate the machine. This technical choice aligns with a strategy of energy management and compliance with regulations.
