IBL Technologies, LLC announces that it was awarded a 2017 Global Technology Award in the category of Soldering – Other for its VAC745 with Intelligent Profiling System (IPS). The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017 ceremony that took place during productronica in Munich, Germany. The VAC745 premium vacuum vapor phase soldering machine is designed to meet today’s high quality demands when it comes to the soldering process.
IBL Technologies CEO, Jochen Lipp commented about the award: "IBL is proud to receive this Global Technology Award Award. We are very fortunate to have an unsurpassed technical team. Our team is continuously striving for improvement and advancement in the vapor phase industry. This vision and drive to improve help us remain the leader in operational and technical advances for vapor phase and the reflow process – giving the customer the most stable, uniform and intuitive reflow platform to-date."
The PC-controlled machine in combination with the 15" touchscreen offers network capability, unlimited program and data storage as well as simple operation. Convenient modification of program parameters, real-time recording of solder profiles, targeted data and data management are just a few benefits of the new machine controller.
The integrated IPS Intelligent Profiling System enables users to create a solder profile in just one step since the PCB temperature is used to control the process (Pilot Mode). All systems are integrated into the machine, thus there is no need for any external measurement systems.
The combination of the vapor phase soldering with a vacuum process significantly increases the reliability of the finished product. Sensitive applications (e.g. fine pitch) mostly require a flexible machine with adjustable vacuum parameters. The VAC745 meets and exceeds those requirements with the ability to influence evacuation time, holding time of the vacuum and venting time. Additionally, the patented InVapour Technology creates a fully inert soldering and vacuum process.
Premiering in 2005, the Global Technology Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
IBL Technologies, LLC has been a leader in vapor phase technology since 1987. With ever-evolving control and manufacturing techniques, IBL has created the most versatile and precise soldering process in the world. IBL currently manufactures vapor phase reflow equipment in Germany and North America, providing an unsurpassed support network worldwide. For more information, visit www.ibl-tech.com.
