Hot air rework station

These stations send hot air through the device to warm solder for removal or resoldering. An all-in-one hot air rework station can meet these needs without requiring multiple devices. Hot air rework stations come in many sizes to accommodate different printed circuit board sizes.

IR rework stations: basic differences

The main difference between hot air and IR rework stations is the method by which they heat a PCB component. As their respective names imply, hot air stations use heated air whereas IR stations use infrared rays.
