Metcal Programmable Preheater

• Adds heat capacity and enables lower process temperatures
• Increases through-put and reliability of soldering, desoldering and SMD rework processes
• Four-zone programmable settings for time and temperature to create optimum thermal profiles for varying application demands
• Storage for up to fifty users defined profiles for quick, easy set-up
• User selectable control of heating at source (internal) or at target (external)
• Controlled cool-down eliminates thermal shock to PCB and components
• System safety feature automatically shuts off heating when fan is stopped
• High efficiency vortex heater design maximizes ramp to temperature for increased productivity

The new PCT-1000 is a programmable preheater that provides users exceptional ability to increase heat capacity with highly controlled thermal output. The preheater is ideal for aiding high thermal demand applications including lead-free, multi-layer boards and large ground planes. The PCT-1000 can be used in a variety of processes including soldering, desoldering, SMD rework operations and, with its added heat capacity, will provide faster production rates while lowering overall process temperatures.
