PDR, a leading rework systems vendor and the pioneer of Focused IR technology, used Productronica 2007 as a platform to launch its hotly anticipated modular rework system – the IR-XT5 designed to deliver unparalleled flexibility for SMT/BGA rework. Recognising the dynamics of the industry and the ever-changing needs of its customers PDR, has long distinguished itself from other rework technology suppliers by providing its clients with modular equipment that can grow with their needs – and with their budgets. “After all”, as PDR’s managing director Roger Gibbs says, “why invest in all those bells and whistles before you really need them?”
