Surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing equipment is used to populate printed circuit boards (PCB). This includes soldering machines, ovens, component placement, paste depositors and screen and stencils.
Soldering irons, stations and accessories bond two or more metallic surfaces together with a low melting alloy solder such as tin/lead or Sn/Cu/Ni/Ge alloys, which is melted, wets the surface and resolidifies forming a soldered joint.
Used and refurbished equipment suppliers specialize in used and refurbished equipment and instruments. Suppliers may have the personnel and/or equipment needed to completely overhaul or rebuild equipment or instruments.
