Abstract
Printed circuit boards, assemblies and the like are heated uniformly from edge to edge or to a desired lateral temperature profile while being conveyed through a heating area. The conveying systems reliably conveys circuit boards and the like through the heating area without dropping them. A rail heater is provided to heat rails supporting conveyors having pins to hold circuit boards and the like. A control for the rail heaters controls the temperature of the rails so the circuit boards are positively supported on the conveyors and have a uniform temperature profile or desired temperature profile from edge to edge.
