After the 1996 market introduction of their AirBath invention, Zephyrtronics received international recognition for its significant contribution to the electronic production world.

For the first time in electronic manufacturing history, someone had finally addressed the most glaring discrepancy between the high quality, high volume production reflow processes and those typically found at the bench where prototyping, low-volume runs, rework or repair tasks are performed. Yes, we pioneered it.

Long missing at the electronic work bench were the already long established procedures like proper thermal profiling, ramping, preheating, low temp reflow and the cool down of the PCB yielding simply terrible results. Zephyrtronics changed that.  And no one still knows preheating better than we do.

The arrival of Zephyrtronics' first AirBath caused an immediate buzz within electronic manufacturing circles as word quickly spread about this amazingly simple, yet highly engineered little marvel and the dynamic quality it could produce.  By 1997, the Editorial Staff of SMT MAGAZINE had witnessed the fever and singled out only three companies for the "noteworthy products" of 1997 writing, "Zephyrtronics' AirBath device for preheating is innovative....it's sensible approach should win it a place as a simpler, safer way to remove and repair sensitive devices."

Today, all these many years later, even as Zephyrtronics consistently draws the largest crowds at industry trade events, we remain just as committed to our scientific and comprehensive approach to the electronic bench. And, yes, our motto still is Simplicity Through Innovation™
