A rework system utilizing heated air to reflow or remove surface-mount components from printed circuit boards. These systems precisely control temperature and airflow, enabling the localized heating of specific areas without affecting surrounding components. For example, technicians employ this method to replace damaged integrated circuits on electronic devices, ensuring precise and controlled application of heat.
The use of such a system provides several advantages in electronics repair and manufacturing. Its focused heating capability reduces the risk of damage to neighboring components, and allows for more efficient and accurate rework. Historically, these stations evolved from simpler soldering techniques to address the increasing complexity and miniaturization of electronic assemblies. They became indispensable tools for quality control, prototyping, and repair in various industries.
