High-Power Convection Rework
The Chip-Max uses convection hot air to reflow components at controlled temperatures similar to the original manufacturing process. This approach supports effective heat transfer while helping protect adjacent components from excessive localized temperature.
Integrated Board Preheating
An integrated 1,200W preheater works with the upper convection heater to deliver 2,400W of total heating power. Preheating helps reduce thermal shock and supports more uniform heating across the PCB during removal and installation.
Profile Temperature Control
Fuzzy-logic PID temperature control and automatic timed operation help the operator manage repeatable thermal processes for BGA and SMT rework. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Compact Benchtop Configuration
The self-contained station includes an internal air blower, internal vacuum pump, and an 8 × 8-inch PCB holder. Its compact format provides professional heating and handling capability without requiring a separate external air source.
