The Hot Beam 03 rapid IR underheater is a self-contained unit said to boost PCB preheat temperatures at the rate of 3.5ºC/sec. Set temperatures are maintained during soldering. With up to 50% of thermal energy from below, temperature of solder tips is reportedly lowered by approximately 50ºC. Is said to make traditional hand soldering risk-free. When shut down, it instantly returns to touchable ambient temperature. Is thermocouple profilable and stores 11 programs. Handles board sizes to 400 x 400 mm and any thickness.
