Tools take the stress out of IDC
Companies looking for safe, ergonomically designed hand tools, that will boost efficiency while remaining cost effective, need to consider the ImpactPlus series of hand tools from OK Industries.
SmartHeat Technology provides an exceptionally fast response when under load while eliminating the potential for thermal overshoot.
The result is a high quality solder joint formed at safe, controlled temperatures.
"Effective management of heater power is the key to producing good solder joints, particularly with lead-free materials", says Tom Seratti, VP Global Sales and Marketing, OK International.
"The PS-900 produces high-quality solder joints using tip temperatures closer to the melting point of the SAC alloy, thereby eliminating common lead-free challenges such as rapid tip erosion, scorching of the PCB surface, and thermal damage to components that can occur when the tip temperature is set too high".
The PS-900 has a compact footprint power supply in a rugged, lightweight cast aluminium housing.
The system includes an ergonomic soldering handpiece, an auto-sleep workstand for the soldering iron, and a temperature resistant tip removal pad.
Over 30 tip geometries are available with dimensions from 0.4 to 5mm.
This range of tips allows users to perform a wide variety of applications including single point soldering of through-hole and SMD leads, drag soldering SMD leads, touch-up and pad clean-up.
All PS-900 tips employ the use of high plating thickness.
This feature protects the tip from flux attack, therefore, prolonging tip life and lowering operating costs.
The auto-sleep workstand, which is unique to OK International, automatically reduces the tip temperature during idle periods, providing increased tip life.
Moreover, with SmartHeat Technology, the PS-900 does not require calibration.
This eliminates costly downtime typically associated with conventional soldering systems.
The new system will be available from 31st January 2008. Request a free brochure from OK International ...
