Yes, shameless. You could have come out and said that APE's equipment is the best thing since sliced bread but . . . you had to get all scientific with us. We already get bombarded by subliminal messages in commercials now, tech forums. In all ser

Chryzs, I've used AIRVAC and SRT (with their old adjustable 4 piece nozzle system). I also saw the APE Chipmaster... Here's my 2C after all that: Whoever claims he/she has a user friendly system is a big liar. The words are correct but the order is

Why worry about the temperature if the top of the chip is 20 degrees C above eutectic - 183 C(at the balls)...if a machine works at convection oven temperatures, with high power, then there's no need to worry...Also, a CSP is a very forgiving chip.

Monkey, I have read all the replies you received. I have extensive experience in reworking these parts. There are several ways to approach your problem. If the chips are bumped you will need to have a stencil to apply the flux. If the chips are u

Consider how the vast majority of PCBs with BGAs are produced. Forced air convection. Anything that comes closer to duplication of the original soldering profile is what you desire. Did they build it with IR or Convection? The process engineer wa
