Mar 23, 2026 VJ Electronix, Inc., the leader in rework technologies and global provider of advanced X-ray inspection and component counting systems, has been honored with a 2026 NPI Award in the Repair & Rework Tools category for its Summit LT150 rework system, a next-generation platform designed for large, high-density electronic components.
The LT150 builds on the company’s Summit platform, giving operators a 150 × 150 mm vision area to see the entire component while zooming in on corners for exact alignment. It supports standard board sizes up to 24 × 36 inches, with an optional upgrade for even larger formats, and provides up to 100 mm of top- and bottom-side clearance to safely reach tall connectors, heat sinks, and power modules.
A 4.4 kW top heater paired with up to 11.2 kW of bottom-side heating delivers even thermal performance across large components, keeping solder reflow consistent from center to edge while reducing thermal stress. Balanced heating, dual PID control, programmable airflow, and a 1.5 kW spot heater let operators fine-tune profiles for different materials and package types. The result: faster cycle times, improved throughput, and reliable rework of high-value components.
“The Summit LT150 gives manufacturers the tools to take on assemblies that were previously difficult or risky to rework,” said Don Naugler, General Manager, VJ Electronix. “It’s designed to make large-component rework safer, faster, and more accurate, helping reduce scrap and avoid unnecessary board replacements.”
The NPI Award highlights VJ Electronix’s focus on practical solutions that meet the demands of modern electronics manufacturing.
