Pace PCR 2000/E The Benchtop Factory

The PRC 2000 is a Process Control System for Universal Assembly and Repair of Electronic Assemblies. The PCR 2000 thermal management center powers and controls three SensaTemp® handpieces simultaneously for safe, rapid installation and removal of virtually all surface mount and thru-hole components.

The new PRC 2000 is the most advanced, self-contained rework and repair system ever created for the service bench or manual production workstation. The case's T-slot channels allow you to configure PRC2000 accessories to suit individual operator preferences. The new style Tip & Tool Stands and Hot Cubbies can be mounted to the T-slot channels or set up freestanding (with the purchase of optional "Stand Alone" cubby upgrades for Hot Cubbies). This offers great versatility when the unit is shared by several operators who may have different layout preferences.

The Power Source houses five functional sections. The following is a brief description of each section.

The PRC 2000 THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER incorporates outputs for specialized SensaTemp® handpieces for safe installation and removal of virtually all surface mount and thru-hole components. Three auxiliary channels provide SensaTemp® control of separately sold AC line-powered accessories. Continuous automatic calibration, auto power down and a built-in software password function assure consistent operator performance, reliability and security.

The PIK AND PASTE section features a self-contained high pressure air supply with timing control for precise dispensing of solder paste and other materials. The vacuum pick has a finger actuated release for convenient component handling.

The PRC 2000 MICROCHINE is a lightweight, variable speed machining handpiece for precise circuitry and substrate repair. With its tachometer feedback, the MicroChine can maintain controlled drilling and milling rates under varying loads. The MicroChine's patent pending PROBE BRAKE feature instantly stops machining at a selected layer depth for safe multilayer repair.

The PULSE HEAT section provides variable controlled, low voltage AC pulse power to an array of specialized handpieces for safe surface mount rework, circuitry repair, auxiliary heating, coating removal and thermal wire stripping.

The PULSE PLATE section provides variable controlled DC pulse power for high-quality cleaning and electroplating of edge connectors and other circuit contacts with nickel, gold and other metals.
