A rework station is perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike who need a soldering device without having to resort to oven-type heating tools. It is totally mobile and lightweight, with just around 100 to 200 millimeters in dimension, and possess anti-static qualities. In addition, rework stations sell quite inexpensive. Its features are also pretty easy to handle.
For starters, a rework station features a digital screen that shows the air temperature and air flow rate. You do not have to wait long until the rework station heats up too, and you could manipulate its temperature, which ranges between 100 to 480 degrees Celsius. Here are some of the tips on how to use it correctly:
1. Prepare your effects. Gather the things you may need such as soldering paste, stencil, ruler or blade for spreading out the paste, tweezers, magnifying glass and alligator handle. Using a tweezer, place the metal stencils over the LPKF board. Once the stencils are in place, spread the solder paste thinly over the holes of the stencils using the blade or small ruler. Lift the stencils off the board then mount the parts over the part where the paste has been spread.
2. Solder away. Turn the rework station's control on then set the temperature between 300 and 350 degrees. set the airflow at level four or five, the mid-intensity configuration that gives off just enough air flow strength but not too strong to dismantle the components off the board surface. Fix the board onto the alligator hands, then start heating the components with the rework station nozzle. Also, make sure to hold the gun an inch away from the circuit board and move it over the circuit board in a circular motion.
Rework stations are great for multiple applications like the reflow, removal and restoration of average SMDs, thermoplastic welding, thermal integrated circuit stress testing, and shrink-wrapping plastic over wires. It is definitely a fantastic tool to include in your arsenal specially if you're planning to start your own repair centre.
