PDR announces that it was awarded the 2019 Mexico Technology Award in the category of Rework and Repair for its E6S Evolution Rework System. The award was presented to the company during a Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019 ceremony that took place during the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum.
PDR’s Gantry Level Focused Infrared Rework System Model E6S is designed to rework PCBs up to 24” (610mm). PDR’s unique gantry design offers full rework access to devices placed on the leading edges of medium to large PCB formats in a simple and convenient to use the rework system.
PDR’s E6 series utilizes PDR’s patented Focused IR Rework Technology with visible IR component targeting as well as infrared pre-heating from below for superior thermal balancing of the PCB during the rework process.
Defense entities, Aerospace, Medical, Telecom, Transportation, Contract Manufacturing firms, and Research Organizations have identified PDR’s E6 technology as the system of choice for the machine’s ease of use, effective rework and flexibility to tackle a wide range of applications. Priced below fully automated systems, PDR’s simple design and easy to master rework systems are built to ensure that they are virtually maintenance-free, offering years of useful service with many PDR systems built in the 1980s still in service.
The Mexico Technology Awards acknowledge the latest innovations available in Mexico produced by OEM manufacturing equipment and materials suppliers over the last 12 months.
PDR Rework Systems remains at the forefront of rework technology by providing air nozzle free systems with advanced in-process control features and visible light that takes the guesswork out of rework. PDR X-Ray Solutions was founded in 2012, distributing and supporting X-Ray Solutions for industry under the PDR Brand as well as other well-known X-Ray Brands.
