Metcal is now OKi - QX2 Convection Rework System
Metcal changes rework again by introducing the QX2. Unlike conventional convection systems, the Metcal QX2 provides simplified controls and automation, reducing operator training requirements. The system controller is moveable to suit our preferences and simplifies operation with its push-button configuration. The need for shielding is minimized through the use of focused convection nozzles, which direct heat exactly where it is needed. Nozzles can be changed in seconds with a simple quick-release system. An easy to use underboard preheater is available to evenly heat boards and prevent warping during the rework of large components and multilayered boards. During the removal cycle, the vacuum pick-up automatically lifts the component from the board when the solder reflows and then shuts off the heat. The time used in the removal cycle is stored and displayed as a guide for establishing the minimum time to reattach a similar component. Never before has convection rework been so safe, fast, and easy!
