IR-C3 Chipmate Series
Entry-Level SMD/BGA Rework Station
Today there is a need for lower cost and upgradeable equipment without a loss in soldering quality. The PDR IR-C3 Chipmate SMT/BGA rework station, using PDR’s patented Focused IR technology, have been specifically engineered to meet this challenge.
The IR-C3 Chipmate comes with a good range of standard features allowing the operator to quickly, safely rework all types of components.
The station is tool free, gas free, instantly/precisely controllable, clean, modular and produces 100% yield BGA rework without any complications. The IR-C3 uses all the proven attributes of PDR’s Focused IR technology, first introduced in 1987 and now used worldwide by over 4500 customers.
