PDR, a leader in IR rework and test, is pleased to introduce its new aluminum clad PCB rework tools for LED rework, flex circuit rework and aluminum clad circuit card assemblies. Designed to be incorporated into PDR’s existing line-up of Focused IR Rework Machines, PDR’s new Hot Plate series incorporates all of the best attributes of PDR technology into a contact heating system, thereby efficiently providing the thermal energy necessary to tackle the widest range of applications possible.
Upon inserting the Hot Plate of your choice into PDR’s Standard PCB Fixturing System and initiating the profile, the system begins to gently heat the substrate material together with PDR’s Thermal Active Suite Profile Management System. Component removal/placement and temperature control is performed utilizing PDR’s standard mechanics and software system.
The Hot Plate series can be ordered separately or during the initial purchase of a PDR system and comes with a two-year warranty. Either use PDR’s standard IR quartz emitter preheat technology for non-contact PCB heating or incorporate PDR’s contact heating technology as the situation demands, offering you the flexibility to address a wide range of applications with just one PDR rework system.
PDR offers solutions for LED rework, flex circuit rework and aluminum clad circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for the automotive, aerospace, industrial and military sectors.
