Don't be discouraged about the Zephyrtronics Air Baths from Chris' comments. I'm sure he means well, but I've seen these units being used by people who swear by them. You might also look at the APE preheating units and the Zephyrtronics...but you sh

You are welcome. I typically just read here and try not to post, but the other post was unfairly negative and seemed to be biased to a single supplier...which I always find suspect. Here are the links to APE and ZEPHYRTRONICS which I hope you find h

Funny how these things are. I see more PACE equipment on the shelf and on EBAY. I've seen hundreds of the Zephyrtronics units in Raytheon myself...all being used and on very, very large boards. I believe that they actually have a far larger selection

Check out Zephyrtronics, they have a low temp solder system that we use with very good results. http://www.zeph.com/lowmelt.htm Good Luck

Thank you for the advice. I have the same concerns with applying that much heat from a single point, so I will probably go with a Zephyrtronics preheater. Tom

| OK folks, let's get real serious. | | Well, I shot off my big mouth yesterday during a scheduling meeting concerning DFM and rework. Again, what an irony, oxymoron, or that other thing. | | Anyway, I said it would take another 4 weeks to develop

Tom: You are right. Pre-heating is just as necessary in rework as it is in intiial production. Zephyrtronics produces an economical convective bottom side pre-heater known as an airbath. This product ramps the substrate and assembly at 2-4 degrees

My own preference in this arena is towards the forced air convection style preheat, the key being the forced air. Radiant preheat is too slow for some, and IR preheat can have other issues that convection (or radiant) will not. Zephyrtronics has bee
