Advanced Functionalities

It provides detailed graphics of tip temperature and power delivery in real time during solder joint formation for analysis purposes. This helps you decide how to adjust your process or which tip to use to obtain the best quality soldering.

Designed to avoid thermal shock when soldering Ceramic Chip components like MLCC, this new and unique feature allows controlling the heating ramp-up rate of the tool to gradually increase the temperature of the component through all the phases of the soldering process. Up to 25 fully configurable soldering profiles can be stored.

Get greater quality and control in your production. Manage your whole soldering process remotely in real time. For more information see www.jbctools.com/webmanager.html.

Operation

JBC’s Exclusive Heating System

This revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. This allows the user to work at a lower temperature. As a result, tip life increases by 5.

Work

When the tool is lifted from the holder the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.

Tool Menu:

Set temperature limits
Set temperature levels

Hibernation

When the tool is in the holder, the power is cut off and the tool cools down to room temperature.

Tool Menu:

Set Hibernation delay (from 0 to 60 min or no Hibernation)

Chip Components Rework Process using Tweezers1 and Pedal1

Connections
Connect pedal P4051 to the same port where the Nano Tweezers1 are connected. In the peripherals menu for the Pedal Activation Mode choose between “pressed” and “released”.

JBC-NAU-Nano-Control-Unit-fig-21

Desoldering

Lift the tweezers from the holder, press and hold the pedal to activate the tool and desolder the component. Once the pedal is released the tool enters en Hibernation Mode and cools down

not included, sold separately
previously Press Mode selected

Pad Cleaning

Clean the pads with the desoldering tool DS360. For this operation JBCs desoldering station is needed.

Solder Paste Dispensing

Apply the solder paste amount needed to solder the new chip component. The use of JBC´s DPM Manual Solder Paste Dispenser* is recommended

Placing

Do not press the pedal. Use the tweezers to position the component on the previously tinned pad.
Note: The inactive tool prevents the component from heating up prematurely

JBC-NAU-Nano-Control-Unit-fig-25

Soldering

Once in position press and hold the pedal to activate the tweezers and perform the soldering.

previously Press Mode selected

Changing Cartridges

Removing

Place the cartridge into the extractor slot (1) and pull the handle to remove them (2).

Inserting

Push the cartridge into the handle until the mark*.

Aligning

Use the holes to rotate the cartridges for a proper alignment.

Important
It is essential to insert the cartridges as far as the reference ring for a proper connection

Changing the Tip Cleaning System

Press back the tap (1) to remove the cleaning system (2)
Remove the drawer from the splashguard.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.

JBC-NAU-Nano-Control-Unit-fig-32

Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect the tool status.
Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation. Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
Periodically check all cables and tubes.
Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only
Replace a blown fuse as follows:
Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off
Press the new fuse into the fuse holder and replace it in the station.
Repairs should only be performed by a JBC-authorized technical service.

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.

Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
Do not work on electrically live parts.
The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.
Avoid the contact of flux with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protective glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.
Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance.
Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
