Applications & Technologies

From small 008004 components to massive BGA – with a broad range of supported applications and processes, our professional SMD rework systems are ready to tackle any SMD rework challenge. With industry-leading thermal management and a modular hardware and software architecture, our SMD rework systems have been designed to yield reproducible process results for all steps of the SMD rework cycle.

Functions - Modules - Enhancements

Our SMD rework solutions are as individual as our customers’ requirements and offer a wide range of configuration options. In addition to the system’s basic functions, which are part of the standard functional range, numerous process modules are available for each system, expanding the spectrum of applications. Retrofittable at any time, they enable additional SMD rework processes either directly or as part of a module package. A selection of functional enhancements and accessory systems make daily work with the SMD rework system easier and help to make certain process sequences even more efficient.
