Why IBL?

Advantages of vapour phase soldering systems from IBL

Quality, efficiency & future-proofing

Technological lead for the highest soldering quality

Precise and safe soldering thanks to vapour phase technology

Vapour phase soldering systems from IBL offer electronics manufacturers a clear technological advantage: the soldering process is based on a physically defined maximum temperature of the heat transfer fluid, in this case Galden, which prevents the assemblies from overheating. The even flow of steam also ensures homogeneous heat distribution, even with complex PCBs with high mass differences or densely populated surfaces. Thanks to the precise control of the temperature profiles, the process can be adapted exactly to a wide range of assembly requirements. For particularly high demands on the quality of the solder joints, systems with an integrated vacuum option are available, which significantly reduce voids. A decisive factor in power electronics or safety-critical assemblies.

Integration into digital production

Networked soldering processes for the electronics production of tomorrow

IBL systems are suitable for networked production: thanks to open interfaces such as SMEMA, Hermes and IPC-CFX, they can be easily integrated into existing MES environments. As a result, the soldering process is not seen as an isolated step, but as part of an end-to-end networked production process. The systems record all relevant process parameters, from heating curves and soldering times to the vacuum profile. This data is available for quality assurance, traceability or preventive maintenance. This allows continuous optimization of processes based on real values. At the same time, IBL's system concepts enable flexible scaling of compact laboratory systems through to fully automated inline solutions.

Sustainable efficiency in operation

Energy-efficient processes and reuse of cardboard

IBL vapour phase soldering systems also set standards in terms of economy and resource conservation. The Galden heat transfer fluid used is reliably condensed and filtered in closed circuit systems and can therefore be reused. This not only reduces ongoing operating costs, but also the ecological footprint of the soldering processes. In addition, the systems are characterized by low energy consumption, short heat-up times and a durable, low-maintenance design, thus ensuring maximum efficiency over the entire life cycle.

Advice, service and partnership-based cooperation

IBL accompanies you from evaluation to series production

IBL sees itself not only as a system supplier, but also as a long-term partner in electronics production. Experienced application engineers provide support as early as the evaluation phase by analyzing requirements, carrying out test soldering and developing custom-fit temperature profiles. Even after commissioning, customers benefit from reliable support, short response times and the long-term availability of spare parts. With decades of experience, broad application knowledge and a consistently customer-oriented approach, IBL accompanies its customers on the way to stable, efficient and future-proof soldering processes.
