Mechanic IR16 Mobile Phone Screen OCA Glue Cutting / Grinding All-in-one Electric Remover

The Mechanic IR16 is

an electric, all-in-one tool designed for professionals and hobbyists performing mobile phone and tablet screen repairs. It is primarily used to remove OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) glue from the glass lens or LCD screen during the refurbishing process. The device features a variable-speed motor and a variety of attachments for cutting, grinding, and scraping off old adhesive. 

Key features

• Variable speed motor: The device has a maximum rotation rate of 7000rpm, with an infinitely variable speed control that allows technicians to adjust the speed to the specific type of glue or screen they are working with.

• Bidirectional rotation: The motor can spin both clockwise and counter-clockwise. This flexibility allows for easier and more precise glue removal.

• Integrated dust lamp: The

  includes a built-in light with two modes. A white light illuminates the work area, while a green light highlights any remaining dust or debris on the screen's surface.

• Detachable 18650 battery: The tool is powered by a standard, replaceable 18650 lithium battery, which allows for cordless operation. It can also be used while plugged into a power source via its Type-C charging port.

• High precision and stability: The pure copper motor is designed for high precision, and the tool's balance ensures there is minimal jitter or vibration during use. This helps prevent damage to the delicate phone screen components.

• All-in-one functionality: By using different attachments, the tool can serve multiple functions, such as grinding down hard-set glue or precisely cutting away adhesive layers. 

How to use

To use the

:

1. Detach the screen: First, a damaged or broken screen assembly must be separated from the phone chassis, often by applying heat from a heating mat or hot air gun.

2. Attach the appropriate head: Depending on the type and hardness of the OCA glue, attach the appropriate grinding or scraping head to the tool.

3. Turn on the dust lamp: Use the green dust display light to identify any remaining adhesive or dust particles on the screen.

4. Remove the glue: With the motor running, gently and carefully maneuver the tool over the screen's surface to grind, scrape, or cut away the residual OCA glue.

5. Clean the screen: After the glue is removed, the screen can be wiped down with a solvent and a microfiber cloth.
