IBL SV540 Series Vapor Phase Batch Soldering Oven

The SV540 supports PCBs up to 540 × 360 mm in footprint and accommodates component heights up to 80 mm.

The maximum load per carrier is 3 kg.

• Power supply: 230/400 VAC, 50/60 Hz
• Heating capacity: up to 5.2 kW
• Average power consumption: about 2.8 kW/h under normal operation.

• Dimensions: ~ 1450 mm (length) × 800 mm (depth) × 1400-1450 mm (height)
• Weight: approximately 330-340 kg depending on configuration.

The SV540 uses a 2-chamber vapour phase design: heat is transferred via condensing vapour, which provides uniform heating without hot or cold spots. The low soldering temperature and homogeneous heat transfer help reduce thermal stress on components.

• 5-inch HMI touch display for comfortable operation.
• Program storage with standard soldering profiles.
• Adjustable “solder automatic” mode (automatic or time-controlled cycles).
• Observation window into the process chamber.

• Liquid (vapour agent) filling: approx. 12-13 kg of fluid medium.
• Water connection: ½-inch line, with pressure around 2.5-5 bar, flow ~ 2 l/min.
• Exhaust connection is provided.

Trade-offs / Limitations:

• It’s a manual front-loader: boards are loaded/unloaded by hand, so throughput is lower than fully automatic or inline machines.
• Though its footprint is compact for its capacity, it still occupies sizable space and needs adequate utilities (power, water, exhaust) and floor support.
• For very tall components or assemblies over 80 mm height, it may not be sufficient.
• While standard profiles are included, highly specialized or very tight thermal requirements might require custom profiling and possibly more expensive monitoring options.
