PDR IR-E3

Professional rework station

Introduction

Since 1985, PDR has been at the forefront of innovation in Surface Mount Technology (SMT) repairs, becoming the first company to harness focused infrared technology for component rework. Headquartered in the UK, PDR has deployed over 4,000 systems globally, supporting industries as diverse as mobile communications, automotive, and aerospace.

PDR rework stations are renowned for their robust, modular design, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re working with SMD components, BGAs, CSPs, or flip chips—even down to 0201 size—our stations deliver exceptional results. Thanks to our proprietary Focused Shortwave Infrared Technology, PDR systems apply heat with pinpoint accuracy, targeting only the defective component without the need for specialized nozzles. This ensures a quick, simple setup of the desired heat profile, while the precision sensor feedback guarantees high-quality, repeatable repairs every time.

Our product lineup ranges from entry-level manual rework stations to high-end, professional BGA rework systems, all fully compatible with lead-free (PB-free) technology.

For those seeking the perfect balance of performance and value, the PDR IR-E3 Rework Station stands out in the mid-range segment. Featuring focused infrared technology, this model offers effortless, one-hand operation for precise component heating, with dynamic, adjustable heat transmission for optimal soldering accuracy.

Choose PDR for cutting-edge rework solutions that meet the most demanding industry standards—guaranteeing precision, reliability, and efficiency with every repair.
