Integrated rework system

5 October 2016 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Weller’s WTQB 1000 is a full rework system offering desoldering, lifting, positioning and soldering functionality. Suitable even for small and medium businesses as a cost-efficient rework solution and highly precise standalone work-station that enables optimal work on multilayer assemblies, the unit is ESD-safe and prevents delicate components from being damaged, enabling it to be used in sensitive installation areas.

Thanks to an integrated camera, even the smallest components can be positioned and repaired manually with maximum precision. The user-friendly software makes installing and using the rework station simple, and allows all working profiles to be individually created, adjusted and called up again at any time.

Infrared bottom heating ensures consistently powerful preheating of the entire assembly, with four individually connectible heating zones in accordance with current standards. For soldering operations, independent creation and maintenance of reflow profiles with individual temperature parameters enables reliable, reproducible results.

A freely positionable arm with exchangeable attachments (such as a vacuum component holder and vacuum pick-up pen) enables components to be positioned using three X/Y/Z-axis control dials. Also included with the system are thermocouple connections in two designs for monitoring and process optimisation, as well as a pipette for thorough, clean removal of any residual solder.
