Before opening the rework software, install the . Once installed, check your Windows Device Manager to see which COM Port (e.g., COM3) has been assigned to the station. 2. Configure the Port Settings

This is the most critical part of the software. A standard profile consists of several stages:

If the software says "No camera detected":

Most Achi IR6500 stations utilize a or PL2303 USB-to-Serial internal converter.

Evaporates lingering moisture and prevents thermal shock/warping.

: In the software, you can define more than the standard eight steps.

: Users can program up to 8 rising temperature segments and 8 constant temperature segments to create precise thermal curves for different soldering needs.

One of the most significant challenges with the ACHI IR6500 software is compatibility. The provided software was originally designed for older Windows operating systems (Windows XP or Windows 7).

The ACHI IR6500 software, often called , is used to control the station's PC410 temperature controller via a computer. It allows you to create more complex reflow profiles than the 10 programs (8 steps each) stored directly on the machine. 1. Installation & Drivers Getting the software to talk to the can be tricky on modern operating systems:

: Some users have reported the PC410 controller displaying a negative integer for temperature, decreasing as the station heats up. This points to a hardware issue, likely an incorrectly connected thermocouple. Check that the thermocouple wire is connected with the correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).

Once installed, note the assigned port number (e.g., COM3 ). If the assigned number is higher than COM4 , right-click the device, go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced , and change it to an open port between COM1 and COM4 . The stock Achi software frequently struggles to recognize double-digit COM ports. 3. How to Use the Achi Rework Software Interface

To get your ACHI IR6500 running on a modern PC, you need three specific components:
