Desoldering Systems

MX-500DS Rework Desoldering Systems


The MX-500DS-21 21 uses a Venturi to convert compressed shop air into a powerful vacuum for high performance desoldering. Solder is collected in paper liners that are easily inserted like cartridges. This is a major improvement over the traditional glass tube or metal coil collection method.  THIS SYSTEM REQUIRES SHOP AIR FOR DESOLDERING.

Surface Mount Rework Systems
Surface Mount Rework Systems:
BGA 3500 and CSP 3500

Vision Systems
The BGA-3500 systems provide a maximum four-sided view of 46mm x 46mm (1.77" x 1.77") with a diagonal overlay on the component corners for improved alignment. The zoom lens magnification has a range of 10X to 50X.

The CSP-3500 systems employ a removable 1.5X lens element to provide a maximum four-sided view of 18mm x 18mm (0.71" x 0.71") with no corner overlay required. The zoom lens magnification has a range of 15X to 75X. The 1.5X element may be removed if a larger component is being placed. In addition, a 2X lens element is available to enable placement of extremely small CSP components.
