Who I am: I’m a specialized machine designed to engrave, mill, and drill printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Why I’m useful: I streamline the process of creating custom PCBs, enabling you to prototype electronic circuits quickly and accurately. With my precise engraving and drilling capabilities, I ensure that your PCBs are ready for assembly without the need for outsourcing or manual etching.

The tools described below are the ones shown in the image.

Oscilloscope: Used to visualize and analyze the waveform of electrical signals over time.

Frequency Counter: Measures the frequency of an electrical signal to determine how often it oscillates.

DC Power Supply: Provides a stable and adjustable source of direct current (DC) electricity for powering electronic circuits.

Audio Generator: Produces audio frequency signals for testing and calibrating audio equipment.

Dual Display Multimeter: Measures and displays two electrical parameters (like voltage, current, or resistance) simultaneously.

Function Generator: Generates various types of electrical waveforms, such as sine, square, and triangular waves, for testing and troubleshooting circuits.

Who I am: I’m a precision tool that uses hot air to reheat and remove solder, allowing for the repair or replacement of components on circuit boards.

Why I’m useful: I’m essential for delicate electronic work, such as desoldering and re-soldering components without damaging surrounding parts. My controlled airflow and adjustable temperature help you safely repair or modify your circuits with precision.

Who I am: I’m a specialized oven used to evenly heat circuit boards, melting solder and securing surface-mounted components in place.

Why I’m useful: I ensure that all components on a circuit board are soldered correctly and consistently by providing even heat across the entire board. I’m crucial for assembling or repairing surface-mount technology (SMT) boards, making the soldering process efficient and reliable.

Who I am: I’m a manual shear designed to cut through metal plates up to 8 inches in width with a clean, straight edge.

Why I’m useful: I provide a quick and precise way to trim metal sheets to size, making me indispensable for cutting metal for enclosures, mounting plates, or any project requiring exact dimensions.
