RA, First, define "medium scale budget". Aside from that, I have used many systems, listed in my order of preference: 1. SRT1100 - superior board support - very reliable 2. ERSA IR550A - unique flexability due to infrared heaters 3. Metcal APR5000 -

Hey Brian, Did you use the auto profile feature on your DRS25 machine to arrive at your profile? Our DRS25 has been doing quite well at larger BGA components. Most critical is a good preheat until the PCB reaches at least 140c, followed by a 2degC

Jackie's posting recently and responses to it got me to dondering. First, recollecting, we bought an IR rework station a couple million years ago. It had a IR source on a stand, a bunch of lenses, and Reynolds aluminum foil for shielding near-by co

When not practical to drill hole into pcb to profile here is what I do and seems to be just fine. place thermo into area underneath BGA and let her rip, you will not be in the ball/solder joint, but the temp difference as long as you are in the arra

| Which is the preferred method for soldering a bga, adding solder paste or not? Solderpaste manufacturers say to add solder while the rework station manufacturer's say it's not necessary. | Paste is preferred by not necessary. Our studies, conduct

Hi Grant, 1st off solder paste data sheets are just "guidelines". You always need to set your specs. based on the needs of your own process and product. Don't ever follow your solder-paste data sheet to the tee, or you're severely limiting yoursel

Hello, I have been having some troubling issues when it has come to BGA Placement and I was hoping if there have been others who have been able to resolve similar issues. We are curently doing reworks on a variety of BGA, but seem to be having issu
