Infrared sensor turret for reflow ovens

Abstract

An infrared sensor positioned in a reflow oven includes a reflow oven and a first IR sensor turret suspended over a conveyor surface of the reflow oven, where a directional movement of the first IR sensor turret matches a directional movement of the conveyor surface. A method for managing the IR sensor turret positioned in a reflow oven includes locating, by a first IR sensor turret, a point of interest on a PCBA, where the PCBA is positioned on a conveyor in a reflow oven. The method further includes tracking, by the first IR sensor turret, the point of interest on the PCBA, where the PCBA is moving along the conveyor in the reflow oven. The method further includes capturing, by the first IR sensor turret, a first set of thermal data at the point of interest for a first subarea of the reflow oven.
