Abstract
Continuous ovens are known for soldering electronic components on circuit boards, with a conveyor belt having supports for the circuit boards, and having infrared radiators disposed in a spaced-apart relationship along the conveyor belt above and/or below the plane of belt movement, which are associated with at least one preheating zone and, following this zone in the direction of movement of the belt, with a soldering zone. To develop a continuous oven such that the temperatures between large and small components to be soldered on circuit board will be nearer one another in the soldering zone than in conventional ovens, a cooling zone is disposed between the preheating zone and the soldering zone, in which a forced cooling is performed with a gaseous coolant which is driven by a blower through nozzles disposed in the cooling zone substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the conveyor belt.
