The Rehm X-Line, also known as the CondensoX-Line, brings vacuum vapour phase soldering to your automated SMT line. It creates void-free solder joints in a fully inert atmosphere, with residual oxygen below 100 ppm. As a result, it is ideal for power electronics and other high-reliability assemblies.

Why choose the Rehm X-Line?

Voids in solder joints weaken heat transfer and can lead to early failure. For this reason, many power electronics makers use vacuum condensation soldering. The X-Line applies this process in-line, so you do not need a separate batch oven.

It uses a multi-chamber design, which gives much higher throughput than stand-alone vapour phase systems. In addition, boards travel flat through the whole process. This protects delicate parts and keeps placement accurate.

A special injection system gives a stable and repeatable process. Then a protected cooling section guards joints against oxidation. The system also offers full traceability for quality records.

Key features

• Vacuum condensation (vapour phase) soldering
• Residual oxygen below 100 ppm
• Void-free solder joints
• Multi-chamber design for high throughput
• Horizontal transport through every stage
• Repeatable injection system
• Cooling section that protects against oxidation
• Full process traceability

Where to use the Rehm X-Line

This system suits high-volume lines that need the best possible joint quality. For example, it is a good fit for:

• IGBT modules
• Power electronics
• Sensitive sub-modules with 01005 parts
• Automotive and industrial electronics

Because it fits into a standard SMD line, you can add it without a full redesign. This makes it easier to move from batch soldering to in-line production.
