Choosing the Best Rework Station for Your Lab

Are you in the market for a high-end rework station for your lab? With a budget that allows you to consider options from top brands like Finetech, Pace, and Ersa, making the right choice can be a tough decision.

Two models you might be weighing are the Finetech Core-plus and Pace TF 1800. While both are excellent choices, it’s important to pick the one that best suits your needs.

If you have any recommendations or know of a machine that outperforms these options, your input would be invaluable.

Keep in mind that this rework station will be used in an academic setting, not for mass production. It should be capable of handling small components like 0201 and boards up to 10 inches by 10 inches.

Additionally, having the ability for solder paste dispensing would be a great feature to have, eliminating the need to consider a stencil.
