General Information
Standard Handpieces
All capabilities are dependent upon the use of the appropriate Functional Accessories or Work Aids.
Available handpieces and their associated assembly and repair functions are listed below (a manual
is provided separately with each handpiece which describes the applications and recommended
procedures for that particular tool).
PS-90 Soldering Iron -
Standard handpiece on MBT 201 & MBT 201E systems. Provides a wide range
of SMD and thru-hole installation and removal capability as well as unsurpassed thermal performance on
heavy, multilayer thru-hole assemblies at safe, lower working temperatures. A wide variety of 3/16"
shank, quick change thru-hole and SMD tips (for chip components, SOTs, SOICs and other components)
are available.
SX-80 Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece -
Standard handpiece on MBT 201 & MBT 201E systems. Provides
thermally enhanced thru-hole desoldering on heavy multilayer assemblies, especially during continuous
use. With the unique Flo-D-Sodr tip, the Sodr-X-Tractor performs safe, continuous SMT land cleaning
and preparation. The slim-line, pencil-grip design and finger-actuated vacuum switch allow easy use and
manipulation in tight places.
Optional Handpieces
TT-65 ThermoTweez Handpiece -
Provides safe, one-handed reflow and removal of PLCCs, LCCCs,
chip components and other surface mount devices. Its high thermal capacity and targeted heat quickly
removes large SMDs without damage to the board or adjacent components, even on heavy, multilayer
assemblies. The unique, vertically oriented design and a wide variety of quick change tips easily reach
into tight work areas for safe SMD removal.
PS-70 Soldering Iron -
Designed for high volume, single point soldering operations. It's thin heater and
balanced feel make the PS-70 the perfect choice for applications where visibility and iron control is
required, such as micro-soldering applications. The PS-70 is one of the most responsive irons on the
market due to its quick-heat generator that provides fast and stable heat flow as needed. The PS-70
uses 1/8" shank, quick change PERMAGROUND tips.
