Rework Station: A Must-Buy DeviceFor A Repair Shop
A rework station is great for professionals and hobbyists who want a device for soldering without having to resort to toaster oven-type ones. Rework stations are totally mobile and lightweight, with just about 200 millimetres in length and width, and have anti-static properties. Also, rework stations sell quite cheap. Its features are also quite easy to handle.
For starters, a rework station features a digital display that shows the air warmth and air flow rate. You do not have to wait long until the rework station heats up as well, and you could control its temperature, which ranges between 100 and 480 degrees Celsius. Here are a number of the tips on how to use it properly:
1. Prepare your effects. Gather the things you may need like soldering paste, stencil, ruler or blade for spreading out the paste, tweezers, magnifying glass and alligator handle. Using a tweezer, place the metal stencils over the LPKF board. Once the stencils are in place, spread the solder paste thinly over the holes of the stencils using the blade or small ruler. Lift the stencils off the circuit board then mount the components over the part where the paste has been spread.
2. Start soldering. Turn on the rework station's switch and set the temp at 350 degrees. set the airflow at four or five to give the airflow just enough energy to heat up the circuit board but not too strong to dismantle the mount components. Attach the circuit board to the alligator hands and be sure they are secured in place, then start heating the board with the rework station's gun. Just remember to hold the gun a couple of centimeters away from the circuit board and to move it over the parts in a circular motion.
Rework stations are fantastic for multiple applications like average SMD restoration, removal and reflow, testing thermal IC stress, welding thermoplastics and shrink-wrapping objects with tubes or plastic. It could also be a fantastic tool to add to your work bench specially if you are looking forward to starting your own authorized restoration centre business.
