I have used both the QX2 and BGA3500 hot air rework system from Metcal; both are great systems; the QX2 is a very simple system for leaded devices, easily trained and very inexpensive compared to SRT, Air Vac, and Conceptronics. The BGA3500 works on

Again, I really appreciate the valuable input you all provided. Got my Air-Vac SRM4 machine Friday afternoon. Stored it safely in my cube over the week-end for safe keeping. Tried to find 220V single phase next to air with no luck yesterday. Electric

sant, When I worked in contract manufacturing, I used Air Vac or SRT systems which are rather large units. They are great for larger boards and BGA's. In my OEM life, I prefer smaller desk top units, which are more adapted to small boards with small

HI, I work for a company in New England and recently had a unusually large number of boards fail after replacing a BGA on them. We use a AirVac DRS25 to remove and replace the BGA witch uses local forced hot air. We usually have at least a 90% s
