What are Lens Attachments and what size do I need?

Lens attachments are PDR's alternative to Hot-Air Nozzles, except you do not need to purchase a new one each time you work on a new component as we just adjust the size of our heating spot with an adjustable Iris.

Since 1987, PDR has eliminated the need for Nozzles with a simple hassle free solution. The majority of our customers will purchase two lens attachments, This way they can cover the majority of components. When choosing a Lens Attachment, you have to remember that we have a MIN/MAX spot size for each Lens and whatever is inside the spot is going to reach reflow.
