As component miniaturization continues, assembly experts need to access and rework components on the board without affecting adjacent parts. Traditional handheld convection systems can accidentally reflow or dislodge adjacent components that may require additional rework, or even scrap.
How SmartHeat Technology Works: A Tutorial
We often get detailed questions from Process Engineers about how SmartHeat really works, and whether fixed (or stable) head soldering stations or variable heat is what they need. Our expert, MetcalMan Ed Zamborsky himself has written this article about Metcal's SmartHeat first, to talk about how stable temperature soldering really works!
