What's the bad rap on IR? I know that ERSA has a dark IR that they say heats evenly. I worry about the entire location being heated though.

Hi Larry- Be wary of which IR systems you use, dark IR (ERSA) maintains only the positive effects of infrared use in that this infrared medium wavelength has the optimal absorbtion/reflection ratio between light and dark colors. Therby, guaranteeing

Hello Craig Are code dates other than these two coming apart or do they stay together? If other dates stay together you should get together with RFM. Did the process work before and and the defects just start happening? These are pictured on the RFM

| | I have an Electrovert UPK 660c fitted with IR preheats top and bottom. We assemble a large range of multilayer backplanes and I was wondering if there are any advantages in changing to convection preheats.Has anybody got any views on the subject.

Something else to keep in mind when you reflow using an IR (non-convection) oven. IR reflow is more susceptible to variations in board mass and coloration than convection ovens. Hi mass areas and dark colored parts will cause more variation in your

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-

| Does anyone have thoughts on BGA rework. We now use the OK BGA 3000 and now am considering an Infrared machine. Any thoughts? | I've used Pace, Conceptronic and, now, SRT machines. Bottom side IR is OK. Better thermal balance is achieved with hot

A little late but if this subject is still of interest the following paper from APE may be of interestwhen considering IR to Air Bath: HOT AIR versus IR and other convection Rework Systems HOT AIR is the most popularly chosen method of rework in th

I have been looking into buying a rework station like ERSA or PDR. What I am questioning is how well will these systems reflow BGA's with metal top/cover that are reflective. In addition, when preheating the board would dark body packages absorb te
