Advanced Rework Equipment on Display at German Pavilion
The FINEPLACER® core plus is a compact yet versatile rework system that offers a level of professionalism that exceeds its attractive price. The system offers proven rework technology for a wide spectrum of SMD components, ranging in size from 0201 to 70 x 70 mm.
This compact rework station is based on Finetech’s proven technology integrating the complete rework cycle into an efficient design, without diminishing functionality. The system is at home in production environments where process reproducibility is crucial. The large area under-board heater for PCBs supports board sizes of up to 400 x 310 mm.
FINEPLACER® pico rs is an enhanced hot air rework station for assembly and rework of all types of SMD components. The system is a best seller for professional mobile device rework in challenging high-density environments.
The system provides industry-leading Integrated Process Management (IPM) with synchronized control of all process modules and their related parameters: top and bottom (pre-)heating and cooling, temperature, time, power, flow, light and vacuum. Process gas can be seamlessly integrated into the reflow process for significantly improved soldering results.
FINEPLACER® pico rs features placement accuracy better than 5 µm, high-efficiency board heating, closed-loop force control as well as automated top heater calibration. The system-to-system process transfer capability allows worldwide profile allocation with highly reproducible results on all modular FINEPLACER® rework systems.
The application range contains the whole rework cycle including 01005, Package-on-Package (PoP), BGA/CSP, QFN/MLF, high-density rework and packaging of hybrid/modular electronic modules.
Visit Finetech at the upcoming NEPCON/EMT China 2011: Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre, German Pavilion from May 11-13, 2011.
The modular FINEPLACER® systems are offer maximum process flexibility in many different connection technologies. They include a wide variety of soldering and bonding technologies, as well as ultrasonic and thermal compression bonding. FINEPLACER® systems are used especially in R&D, prototype building and small series production.
