Hot-Beam-05 underheater for reworked components

Thermally complex soldering processes can be reliably performed using the Hot-Beam-05 underheater.

This underheater is the 'big brother' of the Hot-Beam-04 and users benefit from the integrated and powerful 2kW heater with four individually controlled infrared (IR) zones making this underheater suitable for very large PCBs.

The unit delivers 50 per cent of the required heat from below to ensure gentle heat application to both the component and PCB; this also keeps the soldering-tip temperature as low as possible.

The Rapid-IR technology heats PCBs to the permitted temperature at the maximum allowable rate of increase.

Precise temperature profiles can be programmed for the controlled and reliable maintenance of temperatures.

This results in shorter processing times while still protecting components to ensure quality and reliability.

Hot-Beam-05 users benefit from a simple and clear menu structure.

Relevant process information is grouped together and guides the user smoothly through the process.

The unit offers up to 11 process programs for controlled heating in automatic mode.

The use of a thermocouple is only required when setting up the profile; thereafter it is not required, achieving more effective processing and increased productivity.

The Martin Stereo Zoom Microscope is available as an optional accessory to assist in the processing of the smallest components.

This microscope produces sharp 3D views and is an ideal complement for the precision rework of small components, according to Link Hamson.
