Hot Air Rework Stations From Quick

What is a Hot Air Station?

A hot air rework station is a device that is used to heat up and melt solder from a PCB. With the specialised tool additions, you can then detach the component from the PCB. These hot air stations allow you to remove an integrated circuit without the fear of damaging the component or PCB.

To do this the station concentrates a blast of heat towards the PCB through a tube. This can have different nozzle attachments also to concentrate the blast of air even further. When you are looking at taking on any desoldering work, a JBC hot air station is the perfect tool to add to your arsenal. This will optimise your process and give you the most efficient desoldering experience possible.

 

Tools That You Will Need For Hot Air Rework Setup

When using your rework station, there are a few tools that you will need to go above and beyond your basic soldering set up. If you are working with larger more complex PCBs, consider including the following in your set up:

• The hot air station itself - Different models of these can be seen in the product listings above. Talk to our team today should you need advice on which product best suits your needs.
• Tweezers - You will need these when it comes to removing the components from the board.
• JBC Attachments - These can come in the form of nozzles. Ensure that you choose the correct nozzle that is relevant to your task in hand.
• Stereomicroscope – This is not essential, however when dealing with minuscule components it will always be a welcome addition to increase your accuracy. You can see a range of stereomicroscopes that we have available here.
