  • Publication number: 20190381591
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a manufacturing line for soldered components on a circuit board, comprising a soldering oven including at least two temperature zones having a predetermined temperature profile, a transport apparatus embodied to transport circuit boards through the temperature zones, and a control system, wherein, in at least one of the temperature zones, at least two heating elements are arranged such that a to-be-soldered surface of each circuit board is heated by the heating elements, wherein, in at least one of the temperature zones, at least two air circulators are arranged in the transport direction offset from one another and facing the surface to be soldered, and wherein the control system is configured to control the heating elements and the air circulators such that the to-be-soldered surface of the circuit board is heated according to the predetermined temperature profile.

  • Publication number: 20160353583
    Abstract: A method for repairing a circuit board having at least one defective component, wherein the defective component is connected via at least one circuit board side, contact location mechanically and/or electrically with the circuit board including: removing the defective component from the circuit board cleaning the at least one circuit board side, contact location; applying a solder paste on the at least one cleaned circuit board side, contact location by means of a solder application stamp, wherein the solder application stamp first in a wetting step is brought at least partially into a reservoir with solder paste for wetting with the solder paste and then the wetted solder application stamp in a transfer step is brought onto the at least one desired circuit board side, contact location, so that solder paste is applied on the at least one circuit board side, contact location; populating the circuit board with a substitute component previously provided for the defective component; and soldering the substitute c
