Illustrated instructions for assembling a homemade disassembly station for soldering electronic components and collecting tin (solder) from boards.
This article describes the Assembly of two versions of dismantling stations. The main emphasis is on the availability of components, ease of operation and maintainability.
In principle, specialized expensive devices, such as a vacuum pump or an electric contact vacuum meter, are not used. Also, microcontrollers and software that require certain knowledge in these areas and create difficulties during Assembly for ordinary users were not used for station management.
The first version of the dismantling station is assembled from an automobile compressor for pumping tires. It has two modes of operation. The main application is the dismantling of electronic components, such as chips in a dip case, switches, TDCS, transformers, etc.
The second version of the dismantling station is more powerful. For its operation, a household compressor with a receiver is used. The station has 4 modes of operation and is suitable for both dismantling electronic components and collecting tin (solder) from boards.
