OK International Adds Soldering/Desoldering Packages

MFR-DSI and MFR-DSX Systems for desoldering, comprise a compact bench-top MFR power supply and its desolder gun. Equipped with an internal air pump, MFR-DSI is ideal for small manufacturers that do not use compressed air, and for desoldering tasks performed away from the workbench. MFR/DSX uses compressed shop air, making it powerful for high-volume desoldering tasks.
Add soldering and rework hand-piece and tip cartridge to the units above to create two soldering, desoldering and rework options: the MFR-SDI with internal air pump, and the MFR-SDX with external compressed air.
All four packages use lightweight hand-pieces.
The handle of the desoldering tool is fully adjustable from “gun” to “pencil” position, for operator comfort. Incorporates a reactivation switch that senses when it is in use, and that works with “Auto Standby” and “Auto Off” functions to save on energy usage and prolong tip life.
Large-capacity chamber that catches molten solder during desoldering is made of thermal plastic and contains a disposable paper filter that, once full, is simply tapped gently out of the chamber for easy substitution. Fume filter traps solder fumes that can harden on cooling and block pumps.
Press-fit desoldering tips make changeovers easy. The operator simply handles the tips using a heat-resistant cartridge removal pad. Includes long-reach geometries for access to high-density areas on the PCB.
All soldering/desoldering tips are driven by SmartHeat technology, which senses the amount of heat energy needed at the pad.
Special LEDs on the power unit show whether the unit or a hand-piece are powered up, in ‘standby’ or ‘off.’ Will flag when the system or a tool are not grounded, and the unit will shut down.
Power units offer two ports to which any of the tools can be attached; for heavier or more varied workloads, multiple units can be slotted together to power as many tools as necessary.
