High Performance IR Pre-heating Plate IHP400
Programmable High Performance IR Pre-heating Plate
Model: IHP400
The IHP400 Pre-heating Plate enhances the effectiveness of the IMFS600 Rework Systems. It provides bottom heating to the PCB under repair, therefore minimizing the risk of thermal damage to expensive SMD ICs and warping of expensive multilayer PCBs. Additionally it also speeds up the rework/repair process.

Why bottom Preheating is recommended ?
Today’s electronics design has higher density of expensive devices on the multilayer PCBs which inherently require gentle pre-heating of PCBs to avoid thermal damaging of expensive SMD ICs, and also must avoid warping of PCBs.
If pre-heating is not used, it can lead to pad lifting, delamination, warping and burning of expensive PCBs & large SMD ICs during rework/repair. Beside these visible defects, the invisible defects like internal layer cracking etc. will also result if pre-heating is not used.
To avoid above failures, PCBs will normally need even pre-heating around 120°C on bottom side while reworking. The Pre-heater model IHP400 serves this purpose. PCBs are heated evenly and gently from bottom side for safe reworking of SMD ICs.
