BTU International announces that Fred Dimock, process technology manager at BTU International, will present a paper titled "Transferring Recipes from an 8 Zone Reflow Oven to a 10 Zone Oven and Unexpected Savings" during the 2011 Shenzhen International SMT High-Level Conference, which will be held in conjunction with NEPCON South China 2011. The presentation will be held from 2-3 p.m. on August 31 at the Shenzhen Convention Center in Conference Room 3, Rose Hall.

This practical presentation describes the methodology used to quickly transfer numerous recipes from an eight-zone reflow oven to a 10-zone oven for a high-mix contract manufacturer.

Many customers, who have developed recipes for eight-zone ovens, have a need to convert to the newer 10-zone ovens in an efficient manner. In his presentation, Dimock will outline how to implement such a conversion as well as explain the unexpected savings that can be obtained in the process.

Dimock is the manager of Process Technology at BTU International. His extensive experience in thermal processing includes positions at Corning, General Electric and Sylvania. Additionally, he has authored numerous articles on lead-free processing and process control.
