I have always been impressed by the Finetech machines for this scale of work. www.finetechusa.com I have no affiliation there, just a old sales enemy/friend Super accurate optics and placement.

Thanks for the feedback. The Finetech machines look very nice, but are far out of our budget. While we are looking for the most cost effective solution, we are able to spend ~$15K on this machine. We really just need a reliable way to remove and rep

I have been using an Air-Vac DRS-22 for almost two years with very good results. Once a profile is developed it is very repeatable. The DRS-22 is no longer available, however. It has been replaced by the DRS-24. Unfortunately, the DRS-24 has a lo

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.

ERSA and PDR Xytronic both make very respectable lower priced rework equipment.

Hi There, I know this is a long shot but does anyone in Scotland have a 31mil nozzle for an Airvac rework station that they are willing to hire out for a short period of time? Also is there any papers or sites that can give good technical advice on B

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

We are looking for a new BGA rework station. We got an ERSA IR550A and we are not very satisfied. I'm not sure that IR reflow is the better solution because the top-side heating is too large. I think is better with a convection "forced-air" heat.

I am currently looking into purchasing a BGA rework station. Most of the various manufactures use convection heat, but Ersa was different in that they use IR. I know and understand the difference between the two types, but I was wondering if any body
