This station is similar to Model MFR-SRC (shown on opposite page), but with the addition of an ergonomically designed, precision tweezer for removing even the smallest of discrete components, such as 0201 packages. The precision tweezer handpiece has a double-sided pivot for “true tweezer” action and a dual-position pitch adjustment to help the operator target the component. Station also includes a soldering/rework handpiece with interchangeable tip cartridges to suit even the most demanding SMT removal and placement applications. Tip cartridges provide fast thermal performance and respond quickly to load demands. A small shaft diameter provides access to tightly cramped rework areas. Single-piece design provides a secure ground connection to protect sensitive components.The MFR-PTZ system is ESD-safe and meets Mil-Specs. It operates on 100/120VAC and includes a two-port 65W power supply, precision “hot” tweezer handpiece (without tweezer cartridges), 50W soldering/rework handpiece (without tip cartridge), workstand with sponge for each handpiece, and cartridge removal pad.

MFR Series systems feature patented SmartHeat® conduction technology that uniquely senses the exact thermal requirement for each solder joint and responds by delivering the precise amount of thermal energy at the rate required to create a reliable connection. The result is a high degree of control without resorting to higher tip idle temperatures required by conventional ceramic heater technologies. Consequently, the risk of component or circuit board damage is minimized, especially important with the greater thermal demands required by lead-free applications. Lightweight handpieces with an optimum tip-to-grip distance add comfort and control, especially for fine pitch applications. An impressive range of heater tip and tip cartridge geometries ensures easy access and precision performance. "Auto Standby" and "Auto Off" functions can be programmed to activate on different timing to maximize tip life, especially when working on a lead-free process. A built-in motion detector then brings the unit back to life when the handpiece is lifted from the cradle.
