HCT-900	PCT-100	QX2 Rework System

OK International has developed the HCT-900 Hand Held Convection Tool, which offers offers a low cost, versatile rework solution for a wide variety of production and rework application challenges. It has a compact, robust design comprising of Analog controls for both airflow and heat. The system can be used for the removal and replacement of electronic components, including lead-free, from 0201 up to 304 pin QFP. It is also effective at reworking pin in-hole devices such as sockets and connectors. And, using it with solder braid and flux is a fast and efficient way to remove solder shorts and splashes. It can also be used in plastic applications such as applying shrink wrap to components or the formation of plastic rivets more

The new pre-heater PCT-100 targets heat for improved speed and efficiency for high thermal demand applications, including lead-free. Used for SMT and through-hole hand processes, the PCT-100 uses convection air heating to heat a PCB first, for better soldering, improved process control and increased productivity more

Unlike conventional convection systems, the Metcal QX2 provides simplified controls and automation, reducing operator training requirements. The system controller is moveable to suit your preferences and simplifies operation with its push-button configuration. The need for shielding is minimized through the use of focused convection nozzles, which direct heat exactly where it is needed. Nozzles can be changed in seconds with a simple quick-release system. An easy-to-use underboard preheater is available to evenly heat boards and prevent warping during the rework of large components and multilayered boards more
