Universal flux remover cleans rosin-based, high-temperature, Pb-free materials. Universal contact cleaner is formulated to clean electrical contacts, relays, switches and circuits. Is nonconductive, fast-drying, nonflammable, and reportedly is compatible with many materials. Both use environmentally progressive HFO chemistries. Have low global warming potential and are exempt from volatile organic compound (VOC) restrictions. Polar flux remover cleans heavy, aged fluxes and pastes found in printed circuit board repairs. All three are compliant with current European environmental, health and safety regulations. Are packaged with a low GWP propellant and are REACH, GHS, WEEE and ROHS-compliant.

RD500 series rework station has upgraded three-stage heating system said to produce up to 5.6KW (large model) overall thermal output, an increase of 40% over the previous model. Features semiautomated single axis placement and reflow station for BGA/SMT; and advanced control technology, for safe lead-free and eutectic rework. Comes in two models. Handles multilayer PCBs up to 500 x 700mm. Reworks metal shielded, ceramic (CCGA), thermal heat sink devices, plastic column BGAs (PBGA) and 01005 devices. Localized top and bottom hot gas heaters and bottom area array infrared (IR) heating system offers uniform heating throughout the board. Higher magnification – high resolution digital optics provide quick and easy parts placement, accurate to within +/- 0.015mm. New micro-controlled stepper motor-driven automated pick-and-place with feedback control.
