JBC's AM 6000 rework station has four modules, hot air, desoldering, pick and place and soldering, to cover the main tasks for rework and repair of through-hole and SMT printed circuit boards The hot air system will desolder any size of surface mount component and, with the help of a range of special protectors that surround the rework component, it concentrates the heat on the IC while also protecting the remainder of the circuit

Multi soldering tools connected up in one system
A multi-tool soldering system allows up to five different bench top tools to be connected simultaneously such as soldering irons, hot tweezers and desoldering irons.
Soldering at lower temperature ups efficiency
A microprocessor driven heating system provides very fast heat recovery so that soldering systems can operate at lower temperatures than previously possible.
Vacuum extractors are either integral with the protectors or, in the case of the smaller protector, mounted on miniature adjustable tripods.
A medium-sized surface mount device can be desoldered in less than 20 seconds.
Furthermore when the micro hot tweezers are specified even very small 0201 components can be soldered and desoldered.
Through-hole components and pads can be cleaned with the system's desoldering iron that has an integrated vacuum pump.
A pick-and-place suction pencil is provided for component positioning and a JBC Advanced 50W general-purpose soldering iron performs the soldering.
Other hand pieces from the Advanced range are compatible with the new AM 6000.
The stands for the soldering iron and desoldering iron detect when the tool is resting and switch the tool to a sleep mode, reducing the tip temperature to extend tip life by up to five times while preventing the tip's tin plating from oxidising.
The stands also have inserters/ extractors for the tip/ cartridge units so that users can change tips quickly and without burned fingers.
