Abstract
A method of joining electronic components to an electronic substrate in an apparatus includes: (1) transporting electronic substrates through a chamber housing including a tunnel extending through multiple processing zones; (2) detecting temperatures of the electronic substrates passing proximate to a heat detection system including at least one temperature sensor coupled to the chamber housing; (3) receiving temperature data from the heat detection system with a controller coupled to the multiple processing zones, the conveyor, and the heat detection system; (4) determining, by the controller, with reference to the detected temperatures of the electronic substrates, an adjustment to at least one of (a) a heat setting of a heating element within the chamber housing, (b) a speed of the conveyor, and (c) an operational speed of a blower within the chamber housing; and (5) performing the determined adjustment.
