REECO QPHA3 quartz PCB preheater
Three-zone quartz preheater for professional PCB rework
The REECO QPHA3 quartz PCB preheater is an advanced thermal management system designed to provide controlled preheating of printed circuit boards during component assembly, removal, and electronic repair. Equipped with three independently controlled heating zones and high-performance quartz heating elements, the unit delivers uniform temperature distribution across the PCB, helping reduce thermal stress and minimize the risk of laminate warping during demanding rework operations.
The REECO QPHA3 is intended for professional electronics repair centers, laboratories, and manufacturing environments where process precision, temperature stability, and safe handling of multilayer PCBs are essential.
High-performance quartz heating technology
The preheater utilizes quartz heating elements that provide rapid heat-up and highly efficient thermal energy transfer. Each of the three heating zones can be adjusted independently up to 370°C, with ±5°C temperature stability, allowing precise optimization of heating conditions for different PCB assemblies and soldering applications.
Its 300 × 420 mm working area accommodates large printed circuit boards, while a protective steel mesh enhances operator safety by shielding the heating elements.
Intelligent temperature management
The REECO QPHA3 features three external thermocouples together with an intelligent thermocouple function that can be assigned to any thermocouple input. Once the selected thermocouple reaches the programmed temperature, the system automatically reduces heating power to maintain stable process conditions.
This intelligent control improves temperature accuracy, reduces energy consumption, and helps protect PCBs from excessive heating during sensitive rework operations.
A large display provides continuous monitoring of all critical operating parameters, including:
- Set temperature for each heating zone
- Actual temperature of each heating zone
- Readings from all three external thermocouples
- Built for industrial reliability
The heating chambers are completely separated from the control electronics to improve operational reliability and extend component life. Dedicated cooling for the control compartment, combined with effective thermal insulation, minimizes heat transfer to the enclosure and protects internal electronic systems.
Constructed using high-quality industrial components, the REECO QPHA3 is backed by a lifetime warranty on the housing, reflecting its durability for long-term professional use.
