If you do, you&rsquo;re asking for warped boards and fried components. That&rsquo;s why we use short-wave infrared (IR) lamps. Instead of heating everything in sight, these lamps aim the energy right where it belongs: the solder joints. The rest of the board stays safe.</p> <h2 id="the-secret-is-in-the-speed">The Secret is in the Speed</h2> <p>In this business, how fast you ramp up the heat is everything. We set up our IR tubes to pack a lot of wattage into every millimeter. Why? Because you want to hit that liquidus temperature fast. If you drag it out, you&rsquo;re just cooking your sensitive capacitors or bending the board. Fast heat-up means you get the job done quicker. Simple as that.</p>
