Component recovery and electronics repair. How does the Martin station work in the Comarch IoT Plant
Due to the lack of market availability of components and BGAs, customers are seeking recovery services for hard-to-recover and expensive components. This solution makes it possible to assemble new electronic packages in a faster and more cost-effective way and reduces the waiting time for the final product. At the Comarch IoT Plant, we use a Martin Expert 10.6HV soldering station for this purpose which allows the efficient replacement of faulty components in electronic packages. What does this look like in practice?
