		Zephyrtronics Milestones Since Inception in 1995
		Zephyrtronics Milestones Since Inception in 1995

	1995 David Jacks and Randy Walston Introduce the World’s First Stand-Alone, Bottom-Side Convection Preheating System, The Patented AirBath, to the Global Electronics Industry. 1996 Zephyrtronics was awarded the prestigious "Vision Award" for Best New Product of the Year at the Surface Mount International Exposition in Silicon Valley. 1997 The editorial staff of SMT Magazine spotlighted Zephyrtronics as one of the three most innovative companies of the year. Zephyrtronics AirBaths selected by Boeing for International Space Station! 1998 Zephyrtronics was selected as supplier of choice by the U.S. Department of Defense. Zephyrtronics aggressively litigates against a competitor for patent infringement and is successful. Competitor settles out of court. Meanwhile, the Patented AirBaths Are Tapped For U.S. Air Craft Carriers, Including the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. 1999 National Semiconductor recommends the Zephyrtronics Patented ZT-7-MIL for Reworking of BGA's, CSP's, QFN's & All SMD's. Zephyrtronics defends copyright infringement by competitor who settles out of court for unauthorized commercial use of our technical writings. 2000 Zephyrtronics continues string of three years as the fastest growing manufacturer of benchtop soldering equipment in the U.S.A. Thank you for growing with us. Zephyrtronics introduces ZT-5100 AirMill™ Automatic Dispensing Systems and Accessories Product Line. 2001 In Six Sigma Study, Raytheon Acknowledges Change to Zephyrtronics Prevented $1 Million Per Year in Rework Scrap Compared To Former Competitor's Products. 2002 The Zephyrtronics ZT-7-MIL is selected by The J.P.L. Mars Rover Project for Ball Grid Array Processing. 2003 Zephyrtronics Introduces Wide Array of Dispensing Products and Supplies to Industry Acclaim. International Rectifier Recommends the Zephyrtronics ZT-7 for Reflow of BGA's at the Benchtop. 2004 After smashing success of the Mars Rover program, NASA issues 39-page report to NASA / JPL employees touting Zephyrtronics for making "mounting/removal of thru-hole and SMT/BGA easier than routine benchtop methods". 2005 Zephyrtronics Expands its Leadership in Preheating Introducing the Powerful MegaGrid™ AirBath. Additionally Zephyrtronics extends its offering of dispensing products. 2006 Zephyrtronics Introduces it ZeroLead® Branded Lead-Free Solder Paste and ZeroLead® LowMelt® DeSolder Wire to the World Market. Both Products are RoHS Compliant. 2007 Zephyrtronics Launches E-Commerce Site To Service Our World-Wide Customers. 2008 Zephyrtronics Expands Its International Distribution With New Partners & Agents in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the Middle East. 2009 Zephyrtronics Again Successfully Defends A Patent Against Infringement By An Unimaginative & Cheesy Competitor. And the Patented Zephyrtronics ZT-7 Now Becomes the #1 BGA & SMD Hot Air Station in the World.

Zephyrtronics Receives the Prestigious "Vision Award" for Inventing the World-First Stand-Alone Bottom-Side Convection Pre-heater, "The AirBath" in Silicon Valley.

Zephyrtronics has made "mounting/removal of thru-hole and SMD's easier than routine benchtop methods, minimizes thermal stresses due to temp differentials during assembly & rework, and enables the mounting of BGA's and hidden pin packages.” --- NASA

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

The Zephyrtronics AirBath is Featured in Ray Prasad's Definitive Text "Surface Mount Technology" in 1997

Zephyrtronics ZT-7 System Employed by NASA at JPL for the Two Successful Mars Rovers Launched in 2003.

Raytheon, after extensive testing of the Zephyrtronics AirBath and LowMelt® DeSolder, issues 108-page report: "This new process significantly reduces the necessary, actual rework temperatures and rework time. Additionally, the chances of board damage, pad and land damage, and component lead damage are significantly reduced."

After Testing Both Zephyrtronics & LowMelt®, Boeing Makes Recommendation: "The Zephyrtronics AirBath System is Certified." --- Boeing
