The NS500 large-size air-cooled vacuum eutectic furnace is the 3rd-generation vacuum eutectic furnace launched by Zhongke Tongzhi. Exclusively designed for vacuum eutectic welding applications such as large-size small-batch production, R&D and functional material testing, it heats workpieces in a vacuum environment to achieve void-free solder joints, fully meeting the testing requirements of R&D departments and production needs of large-size small-batch manufacturing. The NS500 can reduce the void rate of the welding area of bonded devices to ≤2%, while the void rate of conventional eutectic furnaces typically ranges from 20% to 30%. It supports flux-free welding for void-free solder joints and is compatible with various protective atmospheres including N₂ and N₂/H₂ (95%/5%). The furnace is adaptable to lead-free solder paste/solder sheet processes as well as flux-free welding processes. Its software control system features simple operation, enabling direct equipment control, programming of various welding process curves, and customization/modification of curves for different processes. The NS500 is engineered for high-reliability welding fields with stringent requirements (e.g., military products and industrial high-reliability products), where nitrogen-protected welding or vapor phase welding fails to meet the required product reliability standards. It is the ideal solution for applications demanding ultra-high circuit welding reliability—such as material testing, chip packaging, power equipment, automotive products, train control systems, aerospace and aviation systems—by eliminating or minimizing voids and oxidation in welding materials. Reducing void rate and oxidation of solder pads or component pins is critical for high-quality welding, a technological innovation widely adopted by welding experts in the military fields of Germany, Japan, the United States and other developed countries. Industry & Application Fields Ideal for: R&D, process development, material testing and device packaging testing; a premium choice for high-end R&D and production in military enterprises, research institutes, universities, aerospace and aviation fields. Core Applications: Defect-free welding and high-quality flux-free welding of chip-substrate and package lid-baseplate assemblies, applicable to IGBT packaging, solder paste processes, laser diode packaging, hybrid integrated circuit packaging, package lid sealing, MEMS packaging and vacuum packaging. Vacuum eutectic furnaces have become essential equipment for high-end manufacturing in military, aerospace and aviation industries of developed countries in Europe and America, and are widely used in chip packaging and electronic welding fields.
