Hardware Overview and Identification

H

A

B

I

J

D

C

E

F

A) Pik-Vac switch and mount – The switch will activate the vacuum pump for 15 minutes so that

components can be handled manually with the included PV-65 Pik-Vac tool.

G

B) Thermocouple Inputs – Up to 4 K-type thermo-couples can be used to measure temperatures.

Temperature readings are displayed in real time via the TF software.

C) Emergency Stop – This button can be used to cut power to the machine immediately in case of an

emergency.

D) Board Holder with Board Support Wand – Fine adjustment of the board holder can be made in the X

and Y directions by using the micrometer knob on the front of the unit and right side of the holder itself. The board holder also has a support bar to help prevent sag of large/heavy boards.

E) Bottom Heater Height Adjustment – Used to bring the bottom heater closer to the workpiece for faster

heating.

F) On/Off switch – Used to turn the machine on or off. Always turn the machine on before opening the

software, and allow the software to close before turning off the unit.

G) LCD Monitor – Displays software package from PC (not shown).

H) Reflow Head – Contains inductive-convection heater for fast and efficient top heating of components.

The entire head moves up and down via an electric stepper motor that is controlled through the software.

I) Optics Housing – Contains the High-Def (1080p) Optical Alignment System (Camera, Prism and

lighting.) The optics housing extends and retracts automatically as needed during the process.

J) Cooling Fan – The component and PCB are cooled by the cooling fan, which is activated automatically

during the cool down zone or operated manually as needed.

Set up

1. Connections –

a. The TF-x800 series machines use a self-contained air pump, therefore shop air is not required.

b. Place the PC next to the machine and connect the provided USB/HDMI cables.

c. Assemble the monitor arm kit onto the right side of the TF machine, then attach monitor and

d. Set out wireless keyboard and mouse, make sure they are turned on and the wireless receiver

e. Plug in the power cords for the PC, Monitor, and the TF unit.

2. Accessories –

a. Insert a vacuum pick-

If desired, an external pressurized Nitrogen source can be used instead.

connect to PC.

has been plugged into the PC.

i. Select the smallest vacuum pick that can lift the component. If the component cannot

be reliably picked up, move to a larger vacuum pick but keep in mind this may slow down heating of the component in relation to the surrounding area.

ii. The vacuum pick will thread into the shaft in the middle of the large circular opening on

the bottom of the heater head assembly. Never use tools to tighten the vacuum pick as doing so can damage the threads or bend the pick.

b. Insert an appropriate nozzle-

3. Power on –

a. Make sure everything is connected to an appropriate power source.

b. Turn on circuit breaker on back of the TF machine.

c. Turn on PC and monitor.

d. Turn on the switch at the front of the machine.

e. Once PC has finished booting up and the TF machine is running, double-click on the TF-1800

software icon.

i. Ideally, the inside of the chosen nozzle should be about 3 mm larger than the

component being worked with to allow for proper air flow. A smaller nozzle can be used if neighboring components are too close, or the heater head can be positioned higher above the surface during reflow. Both of these options will change the performance and efficiency of the unit.

ii. The nozzle will attach to the ball detents in the underside of the heater head in the large

square opening surrounding the vacuum pick.

i. The 120V TF-x800 requires a dedicated 20amp circuit.

ii. The 230V TF-x800 requires a dedicated 10amp circuit.

C) Start Process – Used to begin the removal or installation process from the home position.

D) Start Heating – Click this button to initiate heating by the primary heater as directed by the selected

profile.

E) Profile Name – Displays the name for the active profile.

F) Profile type – Indicates if the loaded profile is an install or removal.

G) Load Profile – Click here to select an existing profile.

H) Preheater Indicators – Reference showing if the main and/or auxiliary pre-heater is at an acceptable

temperature for starting the currently loaded profile.

I) Cycle Heating – This button will move the heater head down into position over the board assembly and

run the thermal profile, skipping all set-up and alignment steps. For use when manually placing components.

J) Preheater Temperature – Shows the current temperature of the main pre-heater.

K) Cooling Fan – Turns the external cooling fan on or off. (Fan runs automatically during the cool down

portion of the thermal profile.)

L) Developer Login – Used to enter “Developer Mode” for profile creation and editing.
