Hello All, Using IR will mean that there is no minimum distance to the adjacent components as there is not hot air flow. If components are heat sensitive around the BGA you can also tape them off with a reflective tape. The IR heat will bounce strai

I have used a PDR I.R. machine for BGA repair and I personally liked it. The two big features I liked were no special tooling and it has a IR temp probe that is closed loop and will keep the temp where you programmed it. The vision allignment works w
