Abstract
A rework station for soldering/desoldering of integrated circuits on a printed circuit board (PCB) wherein a gantry mounted on a base positions hot gas delivery and vacuum application apparatus over a PCB carried between carrier arms mounted on a horizontal arm slidably mounted in a pinion block for movement in the X direction with respect to the base. The pinion block is slidably mounted in the base for movement in the Y direction. A combination of sprockets and idlers transmits X and Y drives for driving the horizontal arm and pinion block from control dials mounted at the front edge of the base.
