When it comes to curing, soldering, testing, drying, or soldering components and parts, an IR Curing Oven is an invaluable tool. The application of these curing ovens has transformed production processes in a variety of industries. This article will explore the five main uses and benefits of IR Curing Ovens.


Here is the content list:

Glue curing

Special soldering

SMD testing

Anti-corrosion paint drying

Radiator soldering


Glue curing


The first and most widely-used application is glue curing. Glue curing is the process of preheating a surface before applying adhesive materials like epoxy resin and silicone. An IR Curing Oven significantly increases the speed of this process by heating objects to the exact temperature needed for optimal adhesion. This ensures more efficient production, improved product quality, less manual labor costs, and reduced downtime. On top of that, the ovens are much faster than other methods such as UV light curing--they can offer 50% faster cure time with just one exposure session compared to traditional methods which require at least two sessions.


Special soldering


Another popular use of IR Curing Ovens is special soldering. With solder paste or preforms requiring specific temperatures for melting, an IR Curing Oven offers precision in these processes using different frequency bands for effective coverage on objects ranging from simple shapes to complex ones with intricate components. Infrared heaters precisely target where energy needs to be applied without affecting surrounding areas preventing unnecessary damage and ensuring optimal performance when working with sensitive materials such as SMT components or plated connections on PCB boards.


SMD testing


IR Curing Ovens are also indispensable for testing SMD devices such as chipsets and transistors during the printing process. This requires rapid heating—and energy transfer rates much higher than those seen in traditional ovens—allowing for quick temperature determination and verification ensuring premium results each time even on high speeds production lines.


Anti-corrosion paint drying


Beyond that, IR Curing Ovens are incredibly useful in anti-corrosion paint drying too. Near-infrared heating efficiently causes paint layer evaporation drying in a fraction of times seen with traditional methods, speeding up production significantly, while also providing superior uniformity as no additional chemicals or solvents need to be added throughout the entire cycle guaranteeing increased safety levels, on a wide array of products including electronic enclosures and structural applications, like piping systems made out steel or aluminum alloys that have been coated or painted beforehand with anti-corrosive paints.


Radiator soldering


Finally, another great use case is radiator soldering, especially complex plates made out of copper tubes joined together by either oxide fluxes or brazing techniques amongst others, offering superior heat transfer properties compared to most elements besides having exceptional corrosion protection. The rapid heating required in this process makes them an obvious choice for this purpose since conventional heating techniques use convection currents, so they can take up more energy, which ends up leading to longer cooling cycles lowering efficiency levels, and eventually turning into excessive power consumptions depending upon duty cycles requirements between radiators solderings, so its needless to say how beneficial integrating an IR Curing Oven can be from both economic resources perspective but mostly from overall productivity optimization.


To conclude: there are many advantages associated with utilizing an IR Curing Oven across different industries ranging. As a professional manufacturer, I.C.T. has been working in the industry for many years and has accumulated experience in the development of the electronics manufacturing industry in Asia.
