1. Description
The Hot Air Station WHA 3000V is suitable for difficult repairs on circuit boards with FINEPITCH
components. A well designed tool concept makes top process security possible with user-friendly
handling and technically advanced application solutions. And an extensive range of unit accessories
widens the possibilities for use of this repair station.
The hot air temperature at the hand-piece can be adjusted within the range of 50°C – 550°C
(122°F – 999°F). Through an external compressed air supply (or nitrogen N2 as an option), an
adjustable air flow rate in the range from 5 l/min – 50 l/min. The hot air temperature and air flow rate
are digitally controlled.
The vacuum necessary for lifting the component is integrated into the nozzle system and can be
activated to suit the operating mode chosen. Two operating modes are provided:
A
The "Manual“ operating mode (MAN) can be used for manual work at the hot air temperature
and air flow rate set. Hot air and vacuum can be activated using the foot switch, manual
remote control console or directly on the control Panel.
B
The "Automatic“ operating mode (AUTO) establishes a program with a 3-step time/
temperature profile, and can be used in conjunction with the WHP 3000 Pre-Heat Plate
available as an accessory.
The parameters for hot air temperature, air flow rate, temperature of the optional WHP 3000
Pre-Heat Plate and vacuum function can be adjusted separately and can be saved as a Rework
Profile for the specific application.
The repair station can also be complemented with the optional matched WBH 3000S Circuit Board
Holder for X-Y alignment and a stand with Z-axis guide for the hot air hand-piece.
