Can anybody give me feed back on the pro and cons of using Pace, OK, Hakko, Metcal, etc... equipment in their rework processes? I need to set up a low volume rework station for mixed technology boards. Would appreciate any suggestions.

I need to purchase a rework tool mainly for QFP's including 30mm x 30mm. I was looking at a Metcal QX2 and a Pace TF200. I would welcome any comments on these two products or any other suggestions. Also, is a preheater necessary?

The Metcal will run you around $5,000.00. The Pace is over $6,000.00. Check out Hakko model 852/853 for under $2,000.00 If your in the NewEngland area call us we sell them also.

This feedback is greatly appreciated! I had my reservations on the connection validation features, as you said good in theory but I really wanted some practical information without having to purchase to get an extended feel on our various application

Maxtim- I have used APE's Sniper, airvac, Mecal's 3500, PDR, Pace, and MArtin's rework stations. APE Sniper does the Job but to much automation and not user friendly software. PDR is to much IR and no convection. Metcal's work good now with the ne

Take a look at Pace and Metcal both have quick recovery irons that are good for lead free applications. Also try a preheater to warm the boards prior to solder. D. David McGee Mfg. Eng. Gaston Electronics 704-822-5031 Phone dmcgee@gastonelectronics.
