Freedom 2000 Standard Machine Specifications


System Overview

The Conceptronic Freedom 2000 printed circuit board repair station is designed for low volume prototype reflow soldering process development and component rework.
The Freedom 2000 machine structure is accurate, rigid, and stable in order to repeatedly place and solder SMT components. A central plate provides integrated mounting features for permanent and precise alignment of all critical sub-assemblies. Circulating, linear ball bearings are used for the placement/heater head, optics train, and XY table.

Top and bottom forced hot gas heaters are standard. The heaters are computer controlled, and feature independent “variable” set-point temperatures and airflow’s. The top heater head is motorized for automatic component placement and removal. The software has built-in support for an optional “Honeycomb” Infrared Pre-heater for efficient preheating of large PCB assemblies.

The Freedom 2000 control system features user-friendly Microsoft Windows software for processing development and general operation. The software runs on an integrated Pentium computer. The computer communicates with an internal, industrial PLC for reliable I/O control. The entire system is designed for maximum flexibility and ease of use with fast, accurately controlled heating and precise, repeatable placement.
