These challenges include continued miniaturization and densely packed PCBs, high thermal mass solder joints as well as the general problems caused by the higher temperature by lead- free applications. Simply put, such difficulties can result in decreased profits due to a decrease in touch-up productivity, an increase in PCB scrap rate and an increase in soldering tip consumption.
The i-CON C family is designed for controlling or communicating with an auxiliary Ersa product, with the stations also providing a serial port which can connect to the various supporting workbench systems. The i-CON C is available as an i-CON 1 C with one i-Tool solder iron or as the i-CON 2 C with one i-Tool iron and one additional soldering or de-soldering tool.
