As was stated, there are a number of variables that could come into play. I have used AirVac DRS26 and SRT Machines. We are now using Shuttle Star which has IR as well as hot air heat. This works much better for us. You can view these at. http://www.

The high thermal mass of metal core boards makes them difficult to heat with hot air convection heating or IR. So, edge heaters are used for effective heating of heavy core circuit boards. Hakko and VJ Electronix offer edge heaters. We imagine othe

The best station I've ever worked with is a focused IR station from PDR. The station that I had was called a; "Lightmaster Pro". They have a different model name now, but you can see a datasheet for it at: http://www.pdr.co.uk/Datasheets/PDRX410-IR-

Guys I do not know what you guys are trying to prove. If you have a BGA job to be done JUST forget about using any equipment that is using hot air since you will get into a lot of trouble. It will bend the PCB and need nozzole for each IC find an ER

Hello, we do have very good results with a 'hot air' repair station, and poor results with a 'IR' repair station, but i have to say that the 'IR' station wasn't designed for leadfree use. Make sure you have a good underside heater, adjustable and

It depends on what type of packages you will be working with. Will you be working with BGA/LGA devices or QFP. For QFP, Pace is a really good system. I would recommend a power supply with 3 ports: iron, de-solder, and hot air. You can replace mos
