The Dragon is a digital closed-loop PCB bottom-heating system designed for use with the APE ChipMaster and other professional rework applications. Its self-contained blower delivers constant, low-velocity, high-volume airflow for controlled and consistent board preheating.
Part #APE-2000-1002-PH | 220V Configuration | 1200W
Digital closed-loop temperature control provides stable, repeatable bottom-side heating. Preheating a circuit board helps reduce thermal gradients and supports safer component rework on assemblies with greater thermal mass.
The internal blower generates constant low-velocity, high-volume airflow without requiring an external air source. Air velocity is listed at less than 12.7 CFM, providing controlled heat distribution beneath the work area.
Three standard nozzles are included to focus heat on different board areas. Users may select alternative nozzle sizes when the application requires a different heating footprint.
Interchangeable nozzles allow heat to be directed beneath the target board area. This helps reduce the amount of top-side energy required during component removal or installation and supports more controlled thermal processing.
Speak with an APE application specialist about board sizes, heating requirements, compatible rework systems, or alternative nozzle selections.
