Sherry, We just finished our evaluation on BGA rework/assembly stations for low volume application. We checked out all the major players and settled on AirVac. Email me if you want details of our study. Bill

Air-Vac Engineering has nozzles for Mictor Connectors that work with their rework systems. They make removal and replacement of the connectors a snap.

It seams differences should be: - C has embedded Control and SW,more compact. - the 24 has the external PC with all the profile date and control. I heard that 24C his less flxible and friendly to use then 24.(Not sure) Mechanically they should be
