PDR Americas Now Offers Three Versions of Its Best Selling SMD/BGA Rework Station

PDR, a leader in IR rework, test and inspection, is pleased to announce that it now offers three versions that make up the IR-E3 Evolution Series of SMD/BGA Rework Stations. The PDR IR- E3G has been the company’s top selling station for many years, a clear preferred choice of customers worldwide. The versatile system is ideal for a very wide range of SMD/BGA/uBGA/CSP/LED applications on small-large sized PCBs. The PDR IR-E3 systems are available in three models – IR-E3S Standard, IR-E3G Gold and IR-E3M Micro Component/PCB Rework System – each configured perfectly for their respective roles.

PDR’s IR-E3 series of SMD/BGA IR rework systems are engineered to cope with the challenges of repairing today’s PCB assemblies. The systems use PDR’s patented Focused IR technology, the world’s only technology that uses Dual-band Visible IR Heating: the light that heats.

The stations are nozzle free, gas free, clean, simple and easy-to-use. Each model is designed for precise control to produce 100 percent yield of your SMD/BGA rework without complications. The keys are accurate closed-loop thermal feedback and intuitive easy-to-use software. The IR-E3 series provides extremely high levels of profiling and process control necessary for the effective rework of the most advanced packages, including SMDs, BGAs, CSPs, QFNs, LEDs, Flip-chips, 0201-01005s and all lead-free applications.

Each of the E3 Series rework systems use the same principals of PDR’s Focused IR technology, first introduced in 1987. More than 4,500 systems are now in use worldwide. PDR Rework Systems remains at the forefront of Infrared Rework and Test technologies by providing air nozzle free systems with advanced in-process control features and visible light for precision rework and HALT testing applications.
