Customer Questions & Answers
What PCB size ranges can the Shuttle Star RW-B400C station handle, and what are the limitations for thicker boards?
The Shuttle Star RW-B400C supports PCBs from 50 × 50 mm up to 450 × 400 mm, with thicknesses between 0.5 mm and 4 mm. For boards that exceed those size or thickness parameters, clamping and heating may not be optimal, which could limit the effectiveness of the rework process.
What are the main advantages of the temperature control system and curve storage compared with other BGA station models?
The RW-B400C model offers closed-loop temperature control via a K-type thermocouple and can store up to 200 temperature curve groups with 8 programmable heating and holding segments. This provides repeatable precision, ideal for complex rework, and is a significant advantage over more basic stations with manual regulation or no profile storage.
What preventive maintenance is recommended to ensure the station lasts and to avoid frequent faults?
It is recommended to periodically clean the filters and fans in the preheating area and check the condition of the thermocouples and electrical connections, as well as prevent residue build-up in the clamping and mechanical guide systems. Visually inspecting the heaters and ensuring the over-temperature alarms work correctly will help prevent unexpected stoppages.
What voltage and frequency does it operate on, and are there any special considerations if installed outside 220V regions?
The RW-B400C operates on single-phase 220V and 50/60 Hz, with a maximum consumption of 4.5 kW. If installed in regions with a different voltage (for example, 110V), a suitable power transformer and verification of correct earthing are required to ensure operational safety.
In which cases is the RW-B400C preferable to infrared alternatives or stations with lower thermal capacity?
The RW-B400C is more suitable for rework applications involving medium or large PCBs, sizeable BGA components, or where thermal repeatability is critical. Compared with lower-capacity equipment, it delivers greater heat uniformity and better protection against overheating, reducing the risk of damage to the PCB or component.
What PCB size range does the Shuttle Star RW-B400C station support?
It supports PCB boards from 50×50 mm to 450×400 mm and a thickness of 0.5 to 4 mm.
What type of temperature control does this rework station use?
It uses a K-type thermocouple with closed-loop control to maintain precise and stable temperature.
What accessories are included with the Shuttle Star RW-B400C station?
It includes five nozzles of different sizes, tool box, hex key set, clip, brush, suction nozzle, aluminium plates, temperature cables, heat-resistant cloth and user manual.
Is the Shuttle Star RW-B400C station available for immediate purchase?
The product is currently out of stock. Please contact customer service to check alternatives or restock times.
What power supply does this station require?
It requires a single-phase 220V, 50/60Hz power supply with 4.5KW power.
