SMD Vaccum Lifting & Small Parts Pick and Place, ESD-Safe Suction, BGA Cups


Welcome to Zephyrtronics! The World's First Low Temp Approach to the Electronic Benchtop.

ZEPHYRTRONICS® AIRPICK™ ZT-3-MIL
Premium SMD, BGA & Tiny Component Vacuum Handling System

New! Order Securely On-Line.

The ZT-3 AirPick is "used to lift the surface mounted devices evenly during rework, minimizing chances of a lifted trace or pad." -- NASA Report Jan 9, 2004

Dependable, Easy Tiny Component & Small Part Lifting:

The ZT-3 AirPick™ is an all-purpose handling system for the miniature SMD’s, BGA's and tiny chips typical of today’s micro-electronic production including: chip scale packages (CSP’s) and the very tiny 201’s, 402’s, 603’s, and 805’s.

The ESD-safe ZT-3 AirPick™ has a self-contained, long-life diaphragm vacuum pump relieving technician fatigue from using the physical exertion needed to operate most vacuum tools. No more squeezing bulbs or manipulating difficult buttons -- because the ZT-3 has “continuous vacuum.”

The ZT-3 quickly releases components without residual vacuum problems which is one of the biggest complaints by technicians who use the vacuum pick up pens...they don't easily release the chip. The ZT-3 never has such a problem! The ZT-3 also has a lighted power switch, a 3-wire power cord, ESD safe suction cups, and a slim-line, featherweight hand-piece!

All Zephyrtronics Equipment is Designed, Engineered, and Manufactured in the United States of America.

More Details:

Each ZT-3 AirPick™ is factory calibrated so vacuum balances the need for lifting the largest of SMD’s and chips, without excessive suction which can lift pads. This is critically important for those who rework with LowMelt®.

Engineered with the technician in mind, the ZT-3-MIL Air Pick™ features a holder integrated right into the center of the design (for right or left handed users) which helps protect and extend the life of delicate suction cups during the rigors of work activity. How thoughtful is that?

Unique, Hand-piece Holder Integrated Into Center Permits Right or Left Handed Use. The Pyramidal Holder Also Protects Delicate Suction Cups.
