Title: SMTech Reflow Oven - Applications software
Post by: GT-NTX on March 02, 2020, 10:36:17 PM
Hi Everyone,

New here. I've already pinged PhonoPlug a private message about this, but thought I'd post it on the open forums as well just in case anyone else can help out

I recently picked up an SMTech reflow oven (IRC300) at auction along with the control PC, unfortunately the PC was damaged beyond repair and the driver software is gone forever.

Brochure attached.

The oven itself seems to be in good condition at least cosmetically. I've buzzed out the 3phase connector and there doesn't seem to be any shorts line to line or to ground so I'm hopeful when I apply some power to it, it might work.

I've scoured the net looking for the original driver software so I can at least try the machine and managed to find a demo version of the software, but that has no capability to connect to the serial terminal on the oven.

I'm hoping someone has the original software. If you do, could I trouble you for a copy of the software? It would be a massive help.

Eventually, I may do as PhonoPlug has done and ditch the original controller. It doesn't look that well designed at all to be honest.

But I'd like to see if I can check everything out as built before modifying it.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Garry

Have you seen this one on Ebay?

Maybe you an take the controllers off it and spare heaters etc for yours?

Hi

Yes, thanks I had seen that one. I had thought about bidding on it for spares. But collecting it would cost more than its worth. Plus I have no where to store two of them.

Also, they weigh in about as much as a small elephant.

Thanks

Garry
