Hot-Beam-05 Underheater For Reworked Components

Link Hamson is introducing the Martin Hot-Beam-05 underheater for stress-free rework and manual soldering. Thermally complex soldering processes can be reliably performed using the Hot-Beam-05 underheater. This underheater is the 'big brother' of the Hot-Beam-04 and users benefit from the integrated and powerful 2kW heater with four individually controlled infrared (IR) zones making this underheater suitable for very large PCBs.

The unit delivers 50 per cent of the required heat from below to ensure gentle heat application to both the component and PCB; this also keeps the soldering-tip temperature as low as possible. The Rapid-IR technology heats PCBs to the permitted temperature at the maximum allowable rate of increase. Precise temperature profiles can be programmed for the controlled and reliable maintenance of temperatures.

This results in shorter processing times while still protecting components to ensure quality and reliability. Hot-Beam-05 users benefit from a simple and clear menu structure. Relevant process information is grouped together and guides the user smoothly through the process. The unit offers up to 11 process programs for controlled heating in automatic mode.

The use of a thermocouple is only required when setting up the profile; thereafter it is not required, achieving more effective processing and increased productivity. The Martin Stereo Zoom Microscope is available as an optional accessory to assist in the processing of the smallest components. This microscope produces sharp 3D views and is an ideal complement for the precision rework of small components, according to Link Hamson.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
