Need to preheat circuit boards?  Wenesco's PowerMax preheaters are designed to retrofit existing wave solder systems, replace or augment existing preheaters, and as a self-contained, stand-alone unit on your work bench,  

POWER MAX preheaters utilize powerful radiant heating elements which transfer heat to a target, one inch above the preheater surface, at a rate of 3 deg C/sec

Temperature is controlled with a remote digital thermostat with the thermocouple sensor placed just above the preheat surface. The digital thermostat displays the set point and temperature of the ambient air.The temperature range is 0-660F  (350C)   For direct control, the sensor may be removed from the preheater and placed on the circuit board.
