There are no BGA rework stations in that price range that I would consider for purchase. (or did you miss a zero in your cost estimate?) In order to have placement, and sufficient heating for proper BGA rework (top and bottomside)you're going to hav

Many thanks for the (very) useful and honest answer. I had thought that £1000 was too little, but we don't have a local supplier, so have to rely on internet descriptions. There appears to be many machines out there described as "BGA replacement mach

There are several big competitors out in the field. Since a few years 3D AOI is getting more and more populair. The reliability is much higher compared to comparing grey scales (pixels) with one another. Measuring the height, length and width of a co
