PDR Rework Systems Announces UL Certification Program
December 13, 2021 | PDR Rework SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
PDR, a leading manufacturer of BGA rework systems, test and X-ray inspection systems since 1985, is pleased to announce that the UL Mark for Safety is now available on all PDR Rework Systems as designated under UL UL61010-1; Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory use.
The Certification offers PDR customers not only the documentation necessary to satisfy federal, state, and local safety authorities, but the confidence in knowing that their PDR system is built to exacting safety standards under PDR’s uncompromising quality standards programs.
PDR’s continuing commitment to provide safe and reliable rework systems for industry is at the cornerstone of PDR’s mission to design and produce better products for the industry at large.
Since 1987, PDR BGA Rework stations have continued to deliver the highest performance and soldering quality, as demanded by its 4500+ customers, many of the world's top names. PDR IR rework stations have become the benchmark for soldering and desoldering quality, loaded with the features required for modern SMT/BGA rework.
PDR’s BGA Rework Stations, using PDR’s Focused IR technology and made in the UK, are precision engineered using only the finest components for optimum performance. All PDR systems exclusively use IR heating, top and bottom, reworking SMDs BGAs QFNs CSPs LEDs etc., on very difficult PCB/applications, from micro to extra-large.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
