Dear All: We have a problem of soldering big BGA's (3.5Cm * 3.5 Cm)during rework or repair. With three big companies stations (hot air & infrared) with their support, they faild to re-solder even one BGA succesfully. Note that we workes on a good te

Thanks, We currently use Metcals for our regular work and I was looking at the ERSA system for the BGA rework. From what I have seen it seems simple to use, and since it uses IR you don�t need all the attachments for different size BGA�s. You just

My suggest is using Ersa IR55A or IR650A. http://www.ersa.de/en/ If you looking for your quality, you need this system. I had try it many time, is better then hot air. and you can set the profile as you like, even Flat Peak on the Lead Free Rework.

I use the exact same paste flux that we use in our solder paste for SMT manufacturing with great success. I have also had great success using the Air Vac DRS Hot Gas units with the same size BGA's. If to much heat is applied to fast to the BGA be it

METCAL has a good unit, for BGA rework, and it uses Hot Air Reflow (convection). The pros and cons of Hot Air Vs IR, you can find easily ard u... em are ageless topics, happy debating. hint : good reasons why SMT Reflow Ovens, were IR switched to

When Air-Vac introduced an IR system at a show in San Jose, people though it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. For obvious reasons they discontinued the short life of the IR systems and implemented hot air into their rework stations. Sales

Ersa is the choice for lower end repair and rework systems. Airvac is the choice for higher end systems. Stay away from low end hot air units. They typically do not present an even flow of heat across the component. The Ersa requires no nozzles, whic
