The Zephyrtronics® AirBaths Receive Industry Recognition

       
 

Since the 1996 market introduction of their AirBath invention, Zephyrtronics has received international recognition for its significant contribution to the electronic production world. For the first time in electronic manufacturing history, someone had finally addressed the most glaring discrepancy between the high quality, high volume production reflow processes and as those typically found at the benchtop where prototyping, low-volume runs, and reworking / repair are typically done. We pioneered it. And no one knows preheating better than we do.

 
                         

The Zephyrtronics AirBath is Featured
in Ray Prasad's Definitive Text
"Surface Mount Technology"

   

"Innovative...simpler, safer way to remove and repair sensitive devices" The Editorial Staff, SMT MAGAZINE

 

Zephyrtronics Wins "Best New Product" at 1996 Surface Mount International Expo in Silicon Valley

     
 

Long missing at the work bench were proper thermal profiling, ramping, preheating, low temp reflow, and the cool down of the PCB yielding simply terrible results. The arrival of Zephyrtronics' first AirBath caused an immediate buzz within electronic manufacturing circles as word quickly spread about this amazingly simple, yet highly engineered little marvel and the dynamic quality it could produce.

By 1997, the Editorial Staff of SMT MAGAZINE had witnessed the fever and singled out only three companies for the "noteworthy products" of 1997 writing, "Zephyrtronics' AirBath device for preheating is innovative....it's sensible approach should win it a place as a simpler, safer way to remove and repair sensitive devices." Today, all these many years later, as Zephyrtronics consistently draws the largest crowds at industry trade events, we remain just as committed to our scientific and comprehensive approach to the electronic bench, and yes, our motto still is Simplicity Through Innovation™.
