Is that what AirVac's charging for their base model DRS-22 these days? ($60K). I haven't priced them recently. We spent less than $45K four years ago, including: PC, monitors (2), nozzles, etc. | What's your budget? | $60K+ I'd chose AirVac hand

We're looking into ways to better protect components adjacent to reworked ones with our Air-Vac. I've seen a few recommendations involving aluminum tape and other masking materials, but am looking for better recommendations. I noticed Alpha Metals

Why didn't you say that in you original posting? Among the better suppliers of rework systems are: * SRT http://www.vjelectronix.com/vjebeta/products.asp?title=Rework%20Solutions * AirVac http://www.air-vac-eng.com/ * Metcal http://www.metcal.com/

Consider how the vast majority of PCBs with BGAs are produced. Forced air convection. Anything that comes closer to duplication of the original soldering profile is what you desire. Did they build it with IR or Convection? The process engineer wa

'Hege is checking in for the DRS25 by Air Vac. Forced Air Convection reflow, and huge heating capacity for bottom side, ensuring minimum Delta T across the PCB during the process. Have 3 of these machines constantly in use for the last 2 and a half

Air Vac DRS25. Hands down the best rework EQ. (my humble opinion, based on my own experience with rework EQ going back 15 years +) Right in your budget. Complete capability for rework. SMD, BGA, POP. Full profiling capability. Massive bottom heati

Charles, I am using an Air-Vac PCBRM12 to selectively solder a 96 pin thru-hole connector onto an otherwise all SMT board. Cost is $8.6K plus about $300 per flow well (nozzle.) Went from a 6 minute cycle to hand solder the connector to 15 seconds o

Reworking BGA with hot air systems (ie, AirVac, SRT) is fairly complicated and requires fairly rigorous process control. Please compare and contrast BGA rework using hot air and your laser based system.
