Actually,if from function and tasks,Scotle HR460 can undertake all the tasks which ZM-R5860 can do, and the importance is that the price for Scotle HR460 is much cheaper . Below are the main differences between them.

1.Scotle HR460 can rework Max 500×400 mm Min 22×22 mm PCB, and ZM R5860 can rework Max 410×370mm Min 20×20 mm PCB.And the fixture of Scotle HR460 uses retractable structure to protect PCB from deformation efficiently.

2.Scotle HR460 uses MCGS industrial PC touch screen ，and TFT true color TV capacitive screen with higher resolution and better data processing ability. And  it is pre-installed WINDOWS CE system which can save 50 thousand temperature profiles.

3. Scotle HR460 uses heating plate imported from Taiwan and the heating wire is original imported from Switzerland with higher heating efficiency, better air insulation, better temperature stability, and it can be used  longer life.

4.Scotle HR460 is added wind speed measuring device and when  fan speed below the rated speed for 15 seconds,the heating system will stop working which can protect heating system get damaged from burned.

5.Scotle HR460 is added precting system if temperature is more 300 Celius, the machine would power off to avoid the heating system burned down.

6.Scotle HR460’s is added temperature auto-adjust system.The PID parameters are more accurate and can get actual temperature more and quicker.

7.Scotle HR460 design is human friendly, and it applies drawer to place its mainboard, if there is any wrong with the machine, you only need to pull it out then can repair it.

IR-PRO-SC which uses only two  temperature zones and both are dark infrared ceramic heaters. IR-PRO-SC with two manufacturers, the original factory is ACHI factory and the later one is called LY IR-PRO-SC. ACHI factory only with one model that is ACHI IR-PRO-SC, but LY has V1 V2 V3 V4 version, about the exact difference, they are just almost the same model made by different factories. And LY do some little changes. Both are well received in the market.

Now there is one total new BGA rework station named Scotle IR360, it also uses dark infrared technology like IR-PRO-SC, but it is mainly different from IR-PRO-SC as below:

1.Scotle IR360 has three temperature zones, and it is added a new hot air heater between top and bottom infrared heaters, and it is said that this can reduce uneven heat and improve rework efficiency more. IR-PRO-SC only has top and bottom infrared heaters, it only has two temperature zones.

2. Scotle HR360 has larger reworking platform and there is 6 pcs infrared bottom ceramic heaters and IR-PRO-SC with only 4 pcs.

3. Scotle HR360 operation pannel is beveled designed and users do not need to bend over to operate the buttons. IR-PRO-SC operation pannel is at right angle.

4. Bottom temperature thermcouple tester is  on above surface of the cremic plate,which is easier for change and repair

5. Scotle HR360 is equippend with two LED lights can help to improve accuracy, IR-PRO-SC with one.

6. Scotle HR360 is added one vacuum suction pen ,and users can pick up the hot BGAs easily.

ACHI BGA rework stations are famous for its high quality, advanced infrared technology,easy operation and its economic price, now ACHI take large market share in the world.

ACHI BGA rework station has many offices in China, www.diy-buy.com is one of the most famous ones located in Shenzhen.

ACHI factory now has two main models: achi ir 6000 and achi ir-pro-sc. Both of them can be widely used in repair notebook, PS3, xBOX and other electronics.

Now Jovy RE-8500 is just released, it is the the latest model which updated from Jovy re-7500.Except it can rework bigger size pcb up to 500mm x450mm, there are many other outstanding features as below:
1..Jovy RE-8500 with USB to connect to computer, it is more convenient.
2.Jovy RE-8500 with more human operating button, and no need to stoop you can get things under control because you can stand straight to press the buttons.
3.Jovy re-8500 is equipped with 4pcs thick steel cover with different size holes in middle. They help to rework components with different size and protect the surrounding small components not damaged by the powerful heat.
4.It is with 5 thermocouple slot to bring more accurate temperature detection.
5.The upper heating head can move up and down to satisfy different temperature demand.

For Jovy RE-8500

Jovy RE-8500 will be used much wider than Jovy re-7500 because it updated much from it.

900M soldering iron tips have many types such as I type,B type,D type,C type,K type, below is the difference among them:

900M I type soldering iron tip is also called fine tip, it is suitable for soldering fine pitch or small gap compents. It can be also used when soldering bridge happens.

900M B type soldering iron tip is also called conical soldering iron tip with no direction, and all tip end can be used for soldering. It is suitable for general soldering regardless of the size of the solder joint.

900M D type soldering iron tip is suitable for rework components with large soldering area,thick terminal or large soldering pad which needing more solder when rework.

900M C type soldering iron tip is also called bevel soldering iron tip, it uses front bezel tip to solering components with large soldering area,or thick terminal,or with large soldering pad which need more solder. C type has many kinds: 0.5C, 1C ,1.5CF and so on, and they are very fine soldering iron tip suitable for very small components rework or amending the solder bridges, solder columns caused in soldering process. If only a small amount of solder,CF soldering iron tip is ok. 2C,3C soldering iron tips are suitable for soldering resistors, diodes or similar components and SOP or QFP with larger pitch. 4C soldering iron tips are for soldering thick terminals,grounding of mainboard and power supply which need larger heat.

900M K type soldering iron tips are also called blade type soldering iron tips. They use the knife-shaped part to solder, and it can realize erect  or pull type soldering . K type is the most widely used because it is multifunctional for soldering SOJ, PLCC, SOP, QFP, power supply, grounding components, and revising soldering bridge,connectors and so on.

900M serial soldering iron tips are universal and compatible with many brands such as Hakko, AOYUE and so on.

About soldering iron tips, you can purchase individually, or in kits which include different lengths, tip diameters and shapes. But how many types of soldering iron tips there are and what types you need?
There are four main soldering iron tips are widely used:
1. Conical soldering iron tips: they are used for precision electronics work but can also be used for general purpose jobs. The pointed end allows easy heat direction and application accuracy, while the sides of the pointed shape can be used for wiring and general solder work.
2. Bevel solder iron tips : They are ground at an angle, providing a blunt surface for specialty electronics and wiring work.
3. Chisel soldering iron tips:They flat-ground on one side. Use chisel tips for electronics, general wiring and electrical work.
4. Screwdriver soldering iron tips: They have two flat edges and are similar in appearance to a flat-head screwdriver. Screwdriver tips are useful for making bigger solder joints for wire-to-wire and wire-to-surface work in larger electrical and electronics work.
5. Blade soldering iron tips.This is the most widely used soldering iron tip type.
6. Sharp-bent soldering iron tips.
7. Slot soldering iron tips.
