The ChipMaster Z-Axis RAD-6000-Z combines precision top-side SMT rework with a digitally controlled 12 × 12-inch radiant preheater. It is designed for larger circuit boards, large SMT components, and high-metal-content assemblies that require broad, uniform heat distribution.
Part #8000-0010-Z | 220V | 50Hz | CE Configuration
The RAD-6000-Z provides 144 square inches of digitally controlled radiant energy. Its broad 12 × 12-inch heating surface gradually and uniformly stabilizes the circuit board before and during component rework.
Large multilayer boards can warp when exposed to concentrated local heating. Total-area radiant preheating reduces temperature differences across the assembly, supporting safer rework of larger PCBs and high-mass boards.
When combined with the ChipMaster-Z platform, radiant preheating reduces the thermal demand placed on the top-side rework tool. The system can support work on heat-sensitive plastic components at temperatures below 410°F (210°C), depending on the application and process setup.
The system is intended for large SMT assemblies, including boards typically greater than 10 × 12 inches, as well as smaller boards whose layer structure or connection distribution makes them vulnerable to warping during localized heating.
