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

Hi Larry- Be wary of which IR systems you use, dark IR (ERSA) maintains only the positive effects of infrared use in that this infrared medium wavelength has the optimal absorbtion/reflection ratio between light and dark colors. Therby, guaranteeing

METCAL has a good unit, for BGA rework, and it uses Hot Air Reflow (convection). The pros and cons of Hot Air Vs IR, you can find easily ard u... em are ageless topics, happy debating. hint : good reasons why SMT Reflow Ovens, were IR switched to

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.

We have used a OK International APR-5000-XLS for the past 5 years, and have never had any issues with it. It works great on all types of BGA's and PCB's. There is sufficient heating topside and bottom, you can hook up thermocouples and fine tune yo

I have used one in the past and wish I had one now. Is that enough input? We had great success with this machine. The large lower preheat and board supports worked very well for large thin boards. We never experienced any problems with this machi
