A. LCD Display Monitor Displays PC Software
B. Cooling Fan The component and PCB are cooled by the cooling fan,
which can be set to activate automatically after the
reflow cycle is complete or operated manually.
C. Board Holder The board holder is fully adjustable in the X direction
only. Fine adjustment of both the X and Y direction is
achieved by using the adjusting knobs on the end of the
holder for X and on the front of the machine for Y.
The right side of the holder is spring loaded to hold the
PCB securely.
D. Emergency Off Switch In case an emergency shut down is necessary, press
this button.
E. Mouse Used to enter information into software.
F. Keyboard Used to enter information into software.
G. Reflow Head Contains the top-side heater and moves up and down
via an electric motor that is controlled through the
software. The reflow head is clutched to prevent
excessive downward force from being applied.
H. Sensor Input The sensor inputs are K-type thermo-couples.
Measured temperatures are displayed through the PC
software in real time for use in making profile graphs.
G. Optics Housing Contains the camera and beam splitter (prism). The
housing is retractable and should be kept in the retracted
position when not in use. The lights for the optics will
turn on/off automatically when the housing is
extended/retracted.
J. Bottom Side Heater Used to warm the PCB from the underside. It is an IR
type heating source.
K. On / Off Switch Used to turn the system on or off. When turning off the
system, always turn off the PC using the Windows
interface first.
L. Computer Brain of the system. Contains the TF 2500 software.

3. Safety Information
a. Do not contact the Heater or its peripheral parts during operation.
b. Once turned off, let the unit cool completely before contacting.
c. When using fluxes, use fume extraction equipment or use in a well-ventilated
area to minimize operator exposure to fumes.
d. Do not use near combustible vapors.
e. Do not leave the equipment unattended when in use.
f. Do not open rear panel without disconnecting power cable.
g. Do not lift or lean on PCB holder rails.
4. Features
a. The TF 2500 is ideal for post assembly rework, repair, and low volume/short run
production operations. The TF 2500 can remove and install PBGAs, CSPs, FCs,
LGAs, LCC’s and other SMDs.
b. Featuring unparalleled thermal performance, the TF 2500’s flexibility and state of
the art process software means no other system is easier to use. The TF 2500 is
a PC driven, semi-automated system that requires a Pentium ® 4 PC featuring
Windows XP® Professional Operating System. The unique standard software
package offers much more than just an operator interface. TF 2500’s advanced
vision and placement system is highly accurate and can quickly magnify even the
smallest components for easy alignment. TF 2500 uses a combination of
convective top heating coupled with powerful IR bottom heating for an effective,
repeatable heating process.
c. Economical and easy to use, the TF2500 Rework System delivers high-end
BGA/CSP functionality, moving far beyond expensive, bulky rework machines by
offering unparalleled performance at an affordable price.
d. REFLOW FUNCTION
e. ALIGNMENT AND PLACEMENT FUNCTION
i. Unequalled programmability and process control ensures successful,

h. Production Mode Record Manager Features (Figure 6a)
The record manager allows for a “record” of each individual reflow to be saved on the PC in a
Portable Document Format (PDF) file format. The “Record” saves all profile information as well
as a text field for the technicians comments (such as PCB or component ID #s) and a graph of
the specific reflow cycle.

operator to select profiles created by the developer. Once a profile is
run, all of the file management buttons will become active. The “PDF
Report” button created a (PDF) file of the record on the PC hard drive
and the “Export Record” button creates a Comma Separated Value
(CSV) file that can be opened by any standard spreadsheet software.
