Can you rework reflective components with Focused IR?
The short answer, Yes we can.
PDR has solved the biggest myth
in BGA/SMD Rework by a simple roll of Thermoactive tape. As IR reflects of
shiny surfaces, we are unable to heat the component efficiently on its own. To
solve this, we use a black thermoactive tape to create non reflective component
and therefore can rework the component in the usual way with 99% Yield.
This is a common misconception with PDR's Focused IR fabricated by Hot-Air competition.

What are the advantages of PDR's focused IR over a Convection Rework System?
•Focused IR heating process - gentle, effective and instantly/precisely controllable, producing an ultra-high yield. •No nozzles, focus hoods, tooling or shields - an iris adjuster precisely sets the IR spot size from Ø4 - Ø70mm. •No interference ...Why is it called Focused Infrared and how is it different from normal IR?
PDR's infrared technology is not like any other IR system on the market. PDR's IR technology is different, we use short wave IR and project the light energy through a lens unit to create a Visible Focused IR Beam. It is called Focused IR because we ...How does PDR's Focused IR work?
In principle a component is subjected to a ‘micro oven’ environment, being carefully heated to reflow from above and below. Focused IR is generated from a 150w tungsten-halogen lamp. An IR spot is projected through a series of special lenses and ...Can the IR beam be square?
PDR prides itself on how easy our systems are to use, and the fact that PDR Focused IR eliminates the need for Air Nozzles. This includes PDR's industry leading adjustable iris where, with one motion, you can change the heating spot from large to ...What's the smallest Component a PDR rework system can handle?
PDR has active customers using our equipment to rework and repair 01005's. We would recommend a IR-E3M evolution system for small cap rework as it is fine tuned for Micro.
