SMT and Through Hole Technology 

Overview

Z-Axis Convection Energy Reflow

The A.P.E. 2N-1 BGA/SMT rework and repair engine is a fully integrated dual, top and bottom heat system, including an electrically actuated Z-Axis, designed to handle Lead Free conditions, Military-type boards, and commercial applications that require an efficient level of energy versus temperature.

Conventional Throug-Hole Operation

Conventtional Desoldering is enabled through an instant rise, high volume internal vacuum pump connected to the Desolder Handpiece. A "Cool Sleeve" is supplied to ensure operator comfort. A new Stop Clog filter removes flux fumes and solids, preventing contamination of the pump.

Preparation

Preparation of the part forremoval and cleaning of the PCB component footprint for replacement is critical in succesful rework. A.P.E. has therefore designed a carefully constructed SMT Tool Kit, which has all the necessary tools and ingredients for a professional job.

Cool Operation

Once the system is switched on the Controller carrries out a "Self Test" and the internal Blower Motor engages to provide a constatnt stream of high volume, low velocity cool air, which will not disturb the solderball with in the rework area.

Automatic Vacuum Pick-up

The vacuum switch is turned on and the vacuum pick-up assembly with vacuum cup, is brought to the top of the component body. The foot pedal is then activated and the component automatically lifts from the circuit board when the component passes reflow temperature.

Nozzle Exchange program

The A.P.E. 2N-1 also includes three (3) nozzles which can be included in a unique A.P.E. exchange program, allowing the User to exchange any nozzles for up to one year from purchase.

New 4 Sided Frame Board Holder

A range of Frame Board Holders has been designed for use with the A.P.E. 2N-1 and other APE products. They include smooth action bearings and ledge pressure PCB support. A standard 8" x 8" (203 x 203 mm) Board Holder is included for most board sizes, adjustable in every axis. A board release mechanism allows each board to snap into place and be quickly released when required. In addition, an on demand, Z-axis clearence piston avoids profile obstructions, when locating to or moving from the nozzle. 

SMT & Through-Hole Rework

A.P.E. 2N-1 Rework and manufacturing system performs surface mount and conventional component repairs. Tip temperature is electronically controlled from 450 to 900°F (232 to 482°C). Two programmable digital controllers feature responsive closed-loop temperature control with large LED readouts, indicating "Set" and "Operating" temperatures.

Bottom Heat

A bottom heat source ensures stability of board temperature, reducing the necessary top reflow temperature, reducing the necessary top reflow temperature, thereby following a more precise profile structure for the component undergoing rework.
