Can anyone tell me an approximate cost of the PDR 410 and/or ERSA IR rework station? Is the main advantage of using these systems over a hot air machine in that nozzles are not needed?

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

ERSA and PDR Xytronic both make very respectable lower priced rework equipment.

Good luck finding used. Ersa is top quality but you pay for it. The IR from Ersa is a medium wavelength thus heating is consistent across the board despite different component densities and colors. PDR does not heat the same and thus you have to be m

Most serious rework stations are from ersa, pdr etc; We actually wanted a fully automated system with split vision and in USA that would probably cost around $50k. We decided on a ZX360 which is about 300 lbs and it worked quite well without issue fo

I am not familiar with the ERSA system you talk about but wanted to let you know there is another company call PDR that also uses IR and no nozzles. the machine is pretty slick and easy to use and set up. We have found no adverse affects to the IR he

Give the Ersa a look. Big advantages: closed loop and no 10 different nozzles. (I wont boast about 'how great' it is, give your local Ersa rep a call and decide for yourself!)
