In 1962, Air-Vac introduced the first Hand-Held Vacuum Desoldering Tools to the electronics assembly industry. When surface mount technology emerged in the late 80's, Air-Vac introduced the DRS21 Hot Gas Reflow Module, and after that, the DRS25, providing automated, process-controlled rework capability for a broad array of packaging and assembly designs. Today, Air-Vac offers a multi-functional production platform with a wide range of applications including Photonics,Semiconductors, MEMS, Bio-Technology and Electronics.
