Rework system meets lead-free soldering challenges

OK International reckons it will set a new industry standard with the launch at Productronica 2005 of its MFR Series multifunction rework system.

Using its powerful Smartheat technology, this system meets all of today's lead-free soldering challenges.

With a single bench-top unit even the most complex electronics assemblies can now be soldered, desoldered and reworked using a comprehensive array of tools that set a new standard for flexibility, capability, reliability and value.

The MFR Series multifunction rework system has a compact power unit which offers two ports to which any of the MFR Series tools can be attached quickly and easily for rework applications, SMT tasks and through-hole soldering and desoldering.

For heavier or more varied workloads, multiple units can be interlocked to power as many tools as necessary.

The MFR Series offers a choice of heater tips or tip cartridges.

The heater tips are designed to provide a cost-effective option to meet the demands of point to point production soldering; tip cartridges are suitable for high performance soldering and rework applications.

The new system will be demonstrated on the OK International stand (A3.542) at Productronica.
