SMT assembly, First, you must utilize paste otherwise the parts will not stay put. Do you have any leaded devices such as QFPs or SOICs? Dispensing paste by hand is very difficult and time consuming for these types of parts. You can either dispense

We use it at our hand solder stations. No issues to speak of. Dont use it too much. I tell the operators to use it sparingly while soldering for long runs and always use it when they are putting the iron in the holder for any length of time... Well

Marcel, Reconfiguring your machine from 80 to 20 stations is quite easy. In the sequencer portion of your machine, it has it's own I/O box. in it, there's the MIT card, location (1). The bit switches are there to inform the controller in the in

Never heard of the DRS-22C. I have had a DRS-22 for several years now. Purchased it when we started doing BGA's. The operators like it - good optics (split view), built like a tank, X-Y table easy to manipulate for alignment. I like it because I ca

Individual process steps are approximately the same length of time for reworking a BGA. You seem to be comparing the use of the automated SMT line versus an off line rework station. Consider that the off line station is a complete paste print, pick

What methods do you guys use for maintaining lot and/or board traceability? When I worked in med. products, we used travelers that we recorded everything on, then serialized them at the end of the build. Not as effective as up front serialization,

| if anyone has used or has one of these bga rework stations please give me your opinion on them. I am planning on using the sytem for not only rework but also low volume prototype production for hand built 1 or 2 qty pcb's, so ease of use is impor

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 -
