Patent EP-0988128-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AMMON EDWARD
IPC: B23K1/008
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a processing station for heat treatment of surfaces using a process gas, specially for fixing electrical components to printed circuit boards (8, 9), comprising a blower (13, 14) to produce a process gas flow and directing said flow to a group of reflectors (4, 12) that are arranged in such a way that the process gas flows in-between two adjacent reflectors (4, 12) to the surface to be treated. The blower (13, 14) pushes the process gas through a channel system (10, 29, 20, 18) which is connected to the reflectors (4, 12). A cooling zone (33) is arranged in the channel system (10, 29, 20, 18), which collects the extraneous matters carried by the gas flow and conducts them to a replaceable absorption member (23).
