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 with adjacent components - they are not overheated or blown away.

•Easy to set up and use - uncomplicated and simple to operate.

•Excellent mechanics - precise component/PCB handling.

•Auto-profiling software - makes thermal profiling easy to accomplish and repeat.

•Modular and upgradeable - systems can easily be configured to meet current and future requirements.

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 ...
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 ...
