Module represents an advancement in rework technology. With three simple clicks, users can define the specific area on the assembly where residual solder needs to be removed after desoldering a component. Module then automatically identifies the required tracks and initiates the cleaning process promptly, while ensuring the board remains preheated. Featuring cleaning speeds ranging from 1 mm/s to 3 mm/s, module ensures efficient and thorough removal of residual solder from large electronic assemblies. Moreover, users have the flexibility to fine-tune the cleaning performance by adjusting parameters such as nitrogen temperature and track speed. Individual profiles can be saved for each assembly, enabling a customized and optimized cleaning process.
