Last modified 01/21/2015 The surface mount (SMT) station is used for manually adding surface mount parts to a printed circuit board (PCB). It uses an attached air compressor to pickup and place your parts. Components should be organized and labeled on the rotating parts carousel.

The SMT station needs 85 psi, so adjust the nozzle accordingly. Flip the red switch on the side of the SMT station to turn it on, and adjust the station's own air gauge to read 85 psi as well. The compressor will turn on and off automatically to keep the psi level stable. Interface Materials Resources The official SMT Station manual. |
