Why Choose a Hot Air Rework Station?
Hot air-type units are the most popular variety of SMD rework stations on the market today. They tend to offer better value than IR stations, in part because lower-priced infrared units often use poor-quality components that lead to decreased accuracy.
Additionally, because of their ubiquity, more technicians are trained to use hot air-type stations. As a result, if you’re adding to your facility or replacing an aging unit, a hot air station will require less time and expense to onboard.

How Do I Use a Hot Air Rework Station?
Use your hot air rework station for any operations you wish to perform on your PCB, from general PCB assembly to ball grid array repair. For example, you can use your hot air rework station to upgrade your PCB by adding brand new components. You can also use it when you have polarized components to separate them from the board, reverse their position and return them to the board quickly.
You can use your hot air rework station to perform heat-shrink to make wire connections more secure. You can also use it to secure a replacement component to the board should one become missing or damaged.
A hot air rework station makes it easy to remove or repair any defective parts, tombstone parts (parts secure only on one side) or cold joints (parts that are not secure but may not be sticking up). You can even use your hot air gun to remove excess solder with the right tools.
To use your hot air rework station, simply choose the appropriate nozzle to fit the area you wish to apply heat to. Turn on the station, set the airflow and temperature dials to your desired parameters and go to work. Be sure to keep the gun moving so that you don’t accidentally overheat a component. When you have started the reflow and positioned your part, shut down the station by switching the power off. Be sure to clean off the board to get rid of any excess flux once the job is complete.
