If the balls are eutectic (63/37) You shouldn't have any problems. All of our BGA rework is performed without paste. You have plenty of solder to make the joint with the balls themselves. Be wary of cleaning however since the standoff is less.

Thanks Mike, Unfortunately I am limited to the amount of time I can run preheat along with the limitation of only two different settings/cycles. Looks like its time to get a higher end rework station.

I use Alpha 857 W.S. for wave is that what you mean? If so, I love this stuff, it solders everything. one downside to it is convection (wave , rework) can dry it out and leave white hazes and even residues at the joints.

The 1700 has more manual operator input ability than the 1500. You can stop and start or whatever without waiting for the machine commands or cycles to initiate or finish.

Give the Ersa a look. Big advantages: closed loop and no 10 different nozzles. (I wont boast about 'how great' it is, give your local Ersa rep a call and decide for yourself!)

So the APE is the real deal huh? What other systems was this compared to and please post results and test parameters. Or is this possibly just a sales pitch?

Last night I was wondering about flamable flux (Or incendary thermite) for BGA rework. Thought about it for at least 10 seconds.
