I. Features
(1) Overview
For the rest of this manual, the MR-130B Pulsed Heat Controller will simply be referred
to as the Control.
If you have questions about
custom items in your Control that
are not covered in this manual,
contact us.
The Control is a power supply
designed for reflow soldering or
heat sealing electronic
interconnections using a precisely
controlled temperature profile.
The design of the Control is directed
toward compactness, reliability, safety
and simplicity, and ease of repair.
The operator is coached by visual
displays on a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) screen if
out-of-range entries are made, or
when out of limits or alarm/error
conditions occur.
Up to 63 heat profiles (the records
containing the joining parameters
to be used during the joining
cycles) can be programmed,
stored, and recalled for use.
Reflow soldering is a multi-step metal joining process where: Two solder-coated parts
are brought into intimate contact, using a preset force.
・The temperature of the two parts is raised to a preheat temperature for a preset time
to activate the pre-applied flux. The flux removes the surface oxides from the
solder-plated parts.
・The temperature is then raised to the reflow temperature for a pre-set time to melt
the solder between the parts.
・Cooling is then initiated to allow the solder to solidify.
・Upon reaching the pre-set cool temperature, the reflow head can be retracted,
removing force from the parts.

MR-130B
2. Description
2-2
Heat sealing or ACF Final Bonding is a multi-step process that creates an electrical
conductive adhesive bond between two items. These items are typically flexible and rigid
circuit boards, glass panel displays, and flex foils.
・With an applied force, two parts are brought together with an adhesive foil, flex, or
paste in between them. The temperature then may be raised to a preheat
temperature as a step toward the final sealing temperature.
・The temperature is then raised to the sealing temperature. A plastic deformation of
the adhesive material occurs creating a conductive interface between the two items.
・Cooling and curing of the adhesive occurs while the applied force is maintained to
stabilize the joint.
The Control has several features which detect temperatures outside of process
requirements:
1)Peak Temperature Limits: Upper and lower temperatures can be set for the peak
temperature during the Preheat and Reflow process cycles.
2)Average Temperature Limits: Upper and lower temperatures can be set for the
average temperature during the Preheat and Reflow process cycles.
3)Envelope Limits: Upper and lower boundaries can be established for the Rise to
Preheat, Preheat, Rise to Reflow and Reflow process cycles.
4)Maximum Process Temperature: A maximum temperature, which applies at any
time during Controller operation, can be set. The Control will then abort the process
and stop heat to the thermode if the temperature is ever reached.
(2) Models
The Control has a front panel with controls and a display for operator control of the
Control.
