| Gentlemen, | Can anyone provide information on selective soldering systems that compete with Ersa's VersaFlow? Does anyone have experience with this machine or other machines of this nature? | My company is considering acquiring to increase techn

"Do you work for Air-Vac or what?" My question as well. If so, it is my opinion that there is a need for some house cleaning, because dissing a competitor's product on this forum is gutter-dweller tactics. If not, can you (AJ, not Russ) provide so

The Ersa system is fine however there are thermocoupling problems and the service from Ersa has been very poor of late. The Metcal won't handle larger boards and the heating is inconsistent.Especially with BGA components. We see this via inspection

Wave solder - Initially high cost but after that it is relatively cheap. Selective soldering with a solder pot such as the Air-Vac PCBRM models - Much lower cost than wave but if you get the right nozzles it is a great process. Solder preforms - s

Is anyone out there reworking the AMP BGA ziff sockets? AMP's recommendation is that it cannot be reworked. I have successfully reworked the 604 ball version of this socket, but I am having problems with the 603 ball version. I am using an Air-Vac

We also have an AT-707. It has performed pretty well for us. No issues thus far. Software has no auto profile like some others do but for the price its a good system. Get a good look at the optics before you buy. Have used this system for a couple ye

Good Morning All, We are looking at new equipment for reworking BGA components that is RoHS capable. I wanted to get a feel for what others in the industry are using and get some feedback good or bad on these systems. We are currently using an Air

I have seen point-to-point soldering iron tip robots in action at a number of factories. The problem is repeatability at delivering good solder joints. Consider a small selective solder machine, the nozzle type: www.ace-protech.com www.air-vac-eng.c

The board thickness is 50 thousandths. The style of the BGA is a 324 ball BGA that has an isolated center region. The machine that I am using is the Air-Vac DRS25. I'm not too sure why the pads are being removed when I am desoldering. I know when
