Metcal MRS-1100A Modular Rework System

Metcal MRS-1100A Modular Rework System

The Metcal MRS-1100A Modular Rework System is an integrated convection rework system for the removal and reflow of BGA/CSP and SMT components.

The MRS-1100A is comprised of a handheld convection tool, preheater, adjustable tool holder, and free-standing board holder to create a manually assisted rework system. A series of nozzles, targeting a variety of applications, and optional light magnifier round out the product offering for this system.

With standard features such as programmability, a digital display, program storage of up to 50 profiles, this system is not only versatile, but also easy and efficient to work with. A choice of board holders and accessories are available that make the system capable of handling multiple sizes of PCBs.

The MRS-1100A allows you the choice of using either the embedded profiling capability that can be configured to operate at a fixed temperature, or a four zone programming option. The unit also allows the temperature to be controlled either at the heat output (internal) or at the board (external). The “external” control function uses a thermocouple which can be placed on the board or a component.
 

Applications include:

• Simple removal and replacement of delicate SMT components
• Quick, easy and cost effective removal of BGA & CSP that will later be placed with your dedicated Array Package Rework System, this increases the productivity of your rework area and reduces your technician’s workload
• Automatically lifts the component at the end of the cycle preventing operators from prematurely lifting components and damaging expensive PCBs

The hand-piece features vacuum and reflow buttons allowing the process to be operated manually or automatically through a profile when used as part of the Modular Rework System (MRS). Additionally, the vacuum has automatic lift off of components, at the end of the removal profile, taking guesswork out of the operators hands and improving process control.

As part of the MRS System, the HCT-1000 is connected via a cable to the PCT-1000, and may be used with ATH-1100A Adjustable Tool Holder. In this mode the HCT-1000 provides timing control for both units and the ATH-1100A al- lows repeatable place and remove operations.

The preheater can be used in two modes; manual for constant heater temperature, and profile for greater control to maintain PCB board temperature with external thermocouple feedback.

With four programmable heating zones and one cooling zone, users select time and temperature targets, creating a preheat thermal profile. The PCT-1000 also has an advanced heater control function where the temperature is controlled either at the heater output (internal) or at the board (external thermocouple).

The PCT-1000 is equipped with an advanced convection heater creating a vortex effect that efficiently directs and concentrates heat.
