I've inherited a system of maintaining oven profiles where each assembly was given it's own profile. While this may have been more appropriate with IR, I don't think that current convection ovens require this many. I'm intending to try and reduce our profiles to 6 or so that can cover the range of products we run. Is this a practical approach? I believe it is, but would appreciate any comments. I'd also like to get feedback on systems that are currently being used. How are you categorizing your profiles (mass, board size, etc.)? Thanks.
