QUICK 861 Pro Smart Hot Air Rework Station (1300 W)

In a busy repair shop the hot air station runs from opening time until close. A unit that struggles to hold heat on a large shield or a stacked board doesn't just slow one repair down; it costs time on every board that crosses the bench. The QUICK 861 Pro is the station many shops move up to when a smaller unit can't keep up with that kind of work.

QUICK's 861 Pro is a 1300 W hot air rework station with a temperature range of 50 to 550 °C and airflow of up to 70 L/min from a brushless vortex blower. A K-type sensor with closed-loop control holds the set temperature, and the color display shows temperature and airflow either as numbers or as a heating curve.

Typical jobs and when shops upgrade

Shops usually move to a station like this when a smaller unit stops coping: heat that drops on a large shield, a weak fan that leaves joints half-melted, or a worn element that fails mid-job. On phone and tablet boards it covers the daily jobs: removing and refitting ICs, BGA rework, lifting shields and board-to-board connectors, and separating sandwich boards together with a preheater. Away from the board, the same station handles heat-shrink, softening adhesive and drying.

Four memory channels (CH1 to CH4) each store a temperature and airflow pair, so one technician can keep a gentle setting for small passives and a stronger one for shields, and switch with one press. The handle holder has a magnetic switch: put the handle back and the station stops heating and cools the element, pick it up and it carries on. Password protection and a button lock keep settings from being changed when several people share a bench.

For a shop where hot air work never stops, the 861 Pro is a station built to hold its temperature through a full day of board repairs.
