Midas

Midas Technology was founded in 1986 for the purpose of developing an industry wide need for non-destructively removing lids from
sealed packages so they could be resealed in original condition and removing components from densely populated circuits without
overheating or physically damaging adjacent devices. From the very beginning, their machines were developed in close consultation with
prospective users, and designed to meet or exceed US military standards for rework processes.

DL-4 - DeLidder
The DL-4 handles rectangular packages which can be secured with the lid flat on the work
surface (its straight-line tool path won’t access lids in cavities). One standard fixture handles
flatpacks and plug-ins, including most connectors, flanges, and IO’s. More complicated
packages with fiber optic leads or partition welds may require low-cost modifications. Many
coined or solder-sealed lids (which won’t sit flat, lid-down) can be removed while fixtured lid-
up in special nests. Abrasive tools for ceramic lids are also available.
