Hakko FR872-03 - Four Bank IR Preheater (1440W)
The Hakko FR872-03 4-Bank IR PCB Preheater has a low-profile bench top design and used to elevate the temperature of printed circuit board assemblies so that the components on them can be soldered and de-soldered more easily with improved results. It's useful on medium to high-mass boards, which can heat-sink a significant amount of energy being supplied by a soldering iron tip or hand-held hot air tool and lead-free assemblies. This pre-heater uses high efficiency carbon filament IR heating lamps and has 4 independently controlled heating zones that cover a total of 8.8" x 10.5" for a large effective heating area.
The Hakko FR872-03 4-Bank IR PCB Preheater also features a manual and auto operation mode and a ramp control feature that controls the ramp rate of the PCB when using either of the thermocouple modes for temperature control. In the auto operation mode it follows a 3-heating zone profile that can be programmed into the system with up to 20 possible profiles. Along with that this preheater is controlled by power percentage or thermocouple for closed-loop feedback of the PCB heating, has soft EPO to protect assemblies, and has integration capabilities with the Hakko FR-803B hot air and FM-206 rework systems with the use of a connecting cable
