Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Excelta 4000-ST vacuum system?
The 4000-ST includes the vacuum unit, handpiece (4000-H), hose (4000-RH), vacuum cups, and air filter (4000-RF). All components needed for immediate use are included. Replacement parts for all included components are available separately from MTE Solutions.
What replacement parts are available for the 4000-ST?
Excelta offers a complete range of replacement parts for the 4000 series: the 4000-RH replacement hose, 4000-RF replacement air filter, and 4000-H handpiece are all available separately at MTE Solutions. Regular air filter replacement is recommended to maintain consistent suction performance.
What size components can the 4000-ST handle?
The 4000-ST is suitable for a wide range of SMT components including 0402 and larger passives, ICs, BGAs, QFNs, SOICs, and other surface mount packages. Vacuum cup selection determines the range of component sizes and geometries the system can handle. Multiple cup sizes are typically included or available as accessories.
What is the difference between the 4000-ST and higher-performance Excelta vacuum systems?
The 4000-ST is the standard performance model in the Excelta 4000 series, suited for most SMT assembly and rework applications. Higher-performance models offer increased suction capacity for larger or heavier components or more demanding production environments. Contact MTE Solutions at 651.600.3838 to determine which model best fits your application.
Is the 4000-ST suitable for BGA component handling?
Yes — with appropriate vacuum cup selection, the 4000-ST can handle BGA packages for placement and rework operations. For high-volume BGA rework requiring precise temperature control, the vacuum system is typically used in conjunction with a rework station such as the JBC Tools rework systems also available at MTE Solutions.
