The Achi IR6000 infrared soldering station is a specialised tool for rework on medium-sized printed circuit boards. It uses infrared radiation to heat the solder, enabling an efficient and controlled process for both soldering and desoldering electronic components such as BGA, QFP and other board types.
Its 180×180 mm lower heater provides even heating across a wide area, minimising thermal distortion that can occur with localised heaters. In addition, it offers eight programmable temperature profiles that let you select the right soldering mode for different types of solder, including lead-free.
Key features of the Achi IR6000
- Folding table with movable supports: makes it easy to secure boards firmly in place during the process.
- Movable upper heater: can be adjusted vertically and horizontally for precise positioning.
- Integrated LED lighting: illuminates the soldering point for better visibility and accuracy.
- Temperature sensor in the work area: mounted on a flexible bracket to aim at the desired spot.
- Independent temperature control: for upper and lower heaters via thermocouples with high precision (±0.5%).
- Audible alarm: alerts you when the upper heater reaches the set temperature.
- Programmable temperature profiles: allow the process to be adapted to different solders and components.
- PC connection via RS-232 port: for advanced control and monitoring.
- Closed-loop control: ensures precise and consistent heating.

Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does the ACHI IR6000 dual infrared heater system offer over hot-air soldering stations for BGA work?
The ACHI IR6000 uses upper and lower infrared heaters, so it reduces air flow and prevents small components from shifting, while heating delicate parts such as BGA and QFP more evenly. Unlike hot air, it minimises the risk of physical damage or components falling off, achieving better heat diffusion over large areas (up to 180 × 180 mm). It is ideal for multi-layer PCBs sensitive to thermal gradients.
What are the dimensions and approximate weight of the ACHI IR6000 station, and what accessories are included in the box?
The approximate dimensions of the ACHI IR6000 are 470 × 440 × 320 mm and its weight is around 13 kg. The box usually includes: main station, adjustable movable supports, thermocouple probe, integrated LED lamp, power cable and basic manual. It is advisable to check the exact details with the supplier, as the contents may vary by batch.
What kind of preventive maintenance does the ACHI IR6000 require, and what is the expected lifespan of its ceramic heaters?
Recommended preventive maintenance includes regular cleaning of surfaces and sensors, checking electrical connections and inspecting the thermocouple. The ceramic heaters typically have a service life of between 2,000 and 5,000 hours under normal use, depending on ventilation and thermal cycles. It is recommended to avoid impacts and blockages of the radiation openings.
What kind of operational problems are common with the ACHI IR6000, and how should they be resolved?
The most commonly reported issues are unexpected temperature variations, caused by loose or dirty thermocouples, and overheating alerts due to poor ventilation. It is advisable to check and clean connections and sensors regularly. If the station does not power on, check the fuses and that the 220 V line is stable. Component replacement should follow the manufacturer’s specifications.
What type of boards is the Achi IR6000 suitable for?
It is suitable for medium-sized printed circuit boards, including BGA, QFP and other types, with a maximum PCB size of 400x305 mm.
Can the station be used for lead-free soldering?
Yes, it has eight programmable temperature profiles that allow it to work with both traditional and lead-free solder.
How is the temperature controlled on the Achi IR6000?
The temperature is controlled independently on the upper and lower heaters using thermocouples, with ±0.5% accuracy and an audible alarm for the upper heater.
Can the station be connected to a computer?
Yes, the station connects to a PC via the RS-232 port for advanced control and monitoring.
What accessories are included with the station?
It includes a data cable, thermocouple with mounting bracket, user manual and software CD.
