    MRS-1100A Modular Rework System
The MRS-1100A Modular Rework System is an integrated convection rework system for the removal and reflow of BGA/CSP and SMT components. The MRS-1100A is comprised of a hand held convection tool, preheater, adjustable tool holder, and free-standing board holder to create a manually assisted rework system. A series of nozzles, targeting a variety of applications, and optional light magnifier round out the product offering for this system.

With standard features such as programmability, a digital display, program storage of up to 50 profiles, this system is not only versatile, but also easy and efficient to work with. A choice of board holders and accessories are available that make the system capable of
handling multiple sizes of PCBs.

The MRS-1100A allows you the choice of using either the embedded profiling capability that can be configured to operate at a fixed temperature, or a four zone programming option. The unit also allows the temperature to be controlled either at the heat output (internal) or at the board (external). The “external” control function uses a thermocouple which can be placed on the board or a component.

  APR Scorpion Rework System
The Scorpion Advanced Package Rework System ensures both accurate component placement and custom tailored reflow profiles in one user friendly, single platform rework system. The Scorpion System redefines precision and addresses the technical demands presented by component manufacturers today. The challenges of array package rework, and the inability to easily inspect placement accuracy, call for a solution that allows for simultaneous viewing of Printed Circuit Board pads and component balls for accurate placement.

The Scorpion Rework System fills this need with quick, accurate placement through the use of an all new vision system employing dual image overlay technology. This new vision system features LED lighting both top and bottom for shadow-free component visualization and component alignment. The HD camera is ready to go out of the box.
The two-head modular design allows the Scorpion Rework System to be tailored to the users specific rework needs and allows precision alignment of the smallest BGAs, QFNs and Micro SMDs with the highest accuracy. The open-ended board holder fits a wide variety of large, small and odd-shaped boards while allowing precise positioning over the patented dual subzone preheater.

The standard auto-profile mode ensures fast and easy profile creation with a minimum of setup time. By selecting your tempera- ture targets any operator can quickly and accurately create reflow profiles for a wide variety of boards, and then save them in memory for future use. Source temperatures and time intervals can be modified “On-the-Fly", eliminating the need to wait for the current profile to terminate before modifications can be made. Precise solder joint temperatures are measured and displayed on a real time graphical display, thus providing the necessary data to accurately and easily establish the optimum reflow profile for each particular application within minutes.

The modular design of the Scorpion Rework System allows it to be configured to the users specific needs. The two-head system with precision placement package features placement accuracy to 0.0015" (.038mm). The standard single-head system provides placement accuracy to 0.004" (.1mm). The Scorpion system accepts the full range of APR and QX series reflow nozzles. Flux transfer plates and solder paste plates are available to ensure repeatable process control during the replacement operation.

  APR-5000-XLS Array Package Rework System
System provides board capability with small board precision. This system performs precise, cost effective rework of the widest range of PCBs and component types, from large boards up to 24.5" x 24.5" (622mm x 622mm) to components down to 0.020" x 0.010" (0.5mm x 0.25mm). 

The flexible APR-5000-XLS System incorporates dual stage pre-heaters and has the thermal capacity and control to execute precise profiles of both large and small PCBs, delivering uniform temperature control horizontally, across the surface of PCBs up to 0.25" (6.35mm) thick, and vertically between the die and ball of the reworked component.

Motorized X,Y,Z adjustments speed placement and help ensure process repeatability. In addition, motorized Theta axis provides 360º rotation to simplify component orientation. Together, these advanced controls reduce operator fatigue, improve placement accuracy and provide process consistency.

Featured on the APR-5000-XLS Advanced Package Rework System is an innovative Split Vision System, which allows operators to view the opposite corners of a component, including splitting on rectangular components, with the necessary magnification to make its placement and registration fast and accurate.

APR-5000 Series Software Updates
Note: You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader for using the APR-5000 Series Software. If you do not have Acrobat, please click HERE to download

Metcal has upgraded the power output of its APR-5000-XL and APR-5000-XLS machines in order to handle extremely demanding rework applications. These new machines also require updated software to run both sets of under-board heaters at the same time. Please note that this new software will NOT run on previous generation machines as their internal hardware and wiring are not designed to handle the increased current (Amps) required by the new software.

The software (Version 2.03.25) in the first box below can only be used on the APR-5000-XLS, Serial Number 002000 or higher or the APR-5000-XL, Serial Number 001500 or higher. 
OK International has also upgraded the power output of its APR-5000-DZ versions of the APR-5000 machine in order to handle extremely demanding rework applications. This new, updated software (Version 2.03.21), will run both sets of under-board heaters at the same time. Please note that this new software will not run on previous generation machines APR-5000E.

New features:
     • New dual simultaneously operating subzones provide additional power for faster and safer rework operations
     • New software enables fast and easy profiling
     • New subzone design speeds up the process while allowing the operating temperatures to remain lower protecting the component and the PCB

Key benefits:
     • Increased productivity
     • Precise thermal control across critical assembly regions
     • Reduction of rework cycle time protects the component under rework from thermal damage
     • Better management of the narrow lead-free process window without reaching excessive peak temperatures that damage components, connectors, other solder joints and the PCB substrate
     • To receive your software update, you will need the Serial Number (S/N) of your machine. It is located on the label on the back of the APR system, at the bottom left.

Instructions: 
     1. Choose your APR-5000 model 
     2. Open Install Instructions document, APR Software Install Instructions for detailed information on how to install the software.
     3. Open the document Setting Passwords for APR Software for information on how to set passwords.
     4. Begin your download by clicking on the corresponding link below
