What is Vapour Phase Soldering?
Vapour Phase Soldering, also known as condensation soldering achieves a very gentle and repeatable heating process. The temperature is limited to the boiling point of the liquid and is very accurate. The maximum solder temperature is much lower than any other reflow solder method. This is beneficial for all components and PCBs.

How are you soldering with water vapour?
There is no water, vapour is created from an inert liquid.

What is „inert“?
Substances (such as liquids, vapour etc.) that have no chemical reation with other substances are called “inert”.

What are Vapour Phase Machines good for?
They will give you greater process accuracy, higher quality solder joints, more gentle and consistently repeatable heating, lower reflow costs and an environmentally friendly technology …. Put simply because it is best for your components.

What about the cost?
The costs are lower than convection soldering; the machines take up less space, you will have less rework to do. - To hear more about the advantages of this technology, please contact us.

What is the throughput of the machines?
IBL has a range of machines, from prototyping to mass-production.

What are Vacuum Vapour Phase Machines for?
For high quality soldering, where voids in the solder is not acceptable, vacuum soldering is used. The vacuum chamber of the IBL machine is in the vapour phase chamber. That means our machines can solder at lower temperatures than the machines of our competitors.
