VaporShuttle

The VaporShuttle Uniformity Fixture is a purpose‑built tool for checking the thermal performance of vapor phase soldering systems. It gives manufacturers a quick, reliable way to confirm that their Reflow chamber is heating evenly and operating as it should before production begins.

How VaporShuttle Delivers Proven Thermal Performance

Understanding your vapor phase system’s thermal behaviour shouldn’t rely on guesswork or PCB‑specific quirks. VaporShuttle provides a controlled, repeatable way to measure chamber performance with machine‑level accuracy.

Engineered for Repeatability

The fixture uses a precision thermal test plate with strategically positioned thermocouples, ensuring every measurement reflects the chamber’s true thermal behaviour, not the inconsistencies of individual assemblies.

A Clear Picture of Heat Distribution

As it moves through the vapor phase process, VaporShuttle captures a full thermal uniformity profile, revealing how heat is delivered across the active process area and highlighting any deviations.

Confidence in Every Cycle

Ideal for acceptance testing, post‑maintenance checks, and routine monitoring, VaporShuttle ensures your Reflow chamber consistently meets thermal performance requirements.

Separate Machine Issues from PCB Design

Paired with the VP10 Thermal Profiler, VaporShuttle distinguishes machine‑related variations from PCB‑specific characteristics, enabling faster troubleshooting and more accurate process optimisation.

Why Manufacturers Trust VaporShuttle

Every feature of VaporShuttle is designed to strengthen process control, reduce variability, and support high‑reliability manufacturing.

VaporShuttle evaluates the Reflow chamber itself, providing a stable, repeatable reference point that eliminates PCB‑to‑PCB variability from your thermal analysis.

Precision Hardware for Vapour Phase Conditions

Constructed from RICOCEL® antistatic composite with a TEFLON‑coated aluminium thermal shield, VaporShuttle is engineered for durability and stability in both standard and vacuum‑assisted vapor phase systems. Its vacuum‑capable design and integrated release valve ensure smooth Datalogger retrieval and reliable operation in high‑performance environments.

Advanced Data Capture with the SLX Datalogger

The SLX Datalogger enhances the system with 12 Type‑K channels, up to 25,000 data points per channel, and measurement rates as fast as 0.05 seconds. With ±0.5 °C accuracy and optional wireless telemetry, it provides the high‑resolution data needed for detailed thermal analysis and real‑time monitoring.
