No, $60K is for the DRS-24 which has replaced the DRS-22. The 24 adds more bells and whistles, like motorized Z axis. I think they are pricing themselves out of the market, although I understand they are offering a stripped down 24 which is essenti

| 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

Is that what AirVac's charging for their base model DRS-22 these days? ($60K). I haven't priced them recently. We spent less than $45K four years ago, including: PC, monitors (2), nozzles, etc. | What's your budget? | $60K+ I'd chose AirVac hand

Not sure about that model, but I've used several DRS 22's and find them easier to use than the DRS24 I inherited at my current place. The lack of automation makes doing things yourself easier. The newer automated machines need more programming. I'

DRS22 is not really comparable to the DRS25 due to a huge difference in the bottom heat technology used on those machines. If the PCBs are light enough the huge power of the DRS25 bottom heater is likely not needed, though. I would ask about your pr

Hi, I work for Nortel and here rework BGA'S we use DRS22 rework station and CRT 2000 X-ray inspection. The main problem is put again the BGA on the PCB because you need reboling the PCB and you could damage the soldermask. Talking about Air-vac is ve

I am in the process of sourcing and ordering a BGA rework station. I only have exprerience with the OK-Industries (Now Metcal) BGA-3500 BGA rework system. Any experience/input on other comparable systems would be much appreciated (Pace TF3000, Air-

Hello, I need some suggestion. I want to acquire a rework station that can handle small CSPs and has a vision system, but cost is a concern. Does anyone have an opinion on the brand I should look at? I see that there are some air-vac drs22 pre-owned

We've had success with AirVac's DRS-22 system. Their people seem to understand the rework process better than many other suppliers. I'm sure you can find them on the Web. Note: When looking at a competing supplier's equipment last year, the demo gu

Hello All, My first visit here. I own and operate a small Industrial & Consumer Electronics Service Shop. There is more and more modules with high density fine pitch SMDs that we cannot handle. We bought PACE ThermoFlow BGA SMD station with a bunch o
