The Sikama FALCON 5×4 is a compact, air-cooled convection reflow oven engineered for low-volume production, prototyping, and rework applications. It delivers precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution across small to medium-sized PCBs, combining bottom-up conduction heating with top-down convection for consistent soldering outcomes. The benchtop design occupies less than 10 square feet of floor space, making it ideal for electronics laboratories and constrained production environments.
