Rework station offers a versatile system ideal for a very wide range of applications on small-large sized PCBs

PDR has announced the enhanced IR-E3G Gold, one of three versions that make up the IR-E3 Evolution Series of SMD/BGA Rework Stations. The versatile system is ideal for a very wide range of SMD/BGA/microBGA/CSP/LED applications on small-large sized PCBs. Enhanced, the device adds superior thermal control and twin cameras for precision alignment and process observation. Non-contact pyrometers focus on the component and the PCB, for thermal feedback to auto-profiling ThermoActive V7 software. With camera input, the software also permits still and video capture. Mechanical advancements feature precision soft touch component pick up and placement. Additionally, the system features large IR 2800W three-zone IR PCB preheating. The systems are available in three models – IR-E3S Standard, IR-E3G Gold and IR-E3M Micro Component/PCB Rework System – each con?gured perfectly for their respective roles. The series provides extremely high levels of pro?ling and process control necessary for the e?ective rework of the most advanced packages, including SMDs, BGAs, CSPs, QFNs, LEDs, Flip-chips, 0201-01005s and all lead-free applications.
