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-

Maxtim- I have used APE's Sniper, airvac, Mecal's 3500, PDR, Pace, and MArtin's rework stations. APE Sniper does the Job but to much automation and not user friendly software. PDR is to much IR and no convection. Metcal's work good now with the ne

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

Hello, thanks for the help. Since this is only for prototypes we can avoid lead-free. Also our boards are not that big or thick. On the other side, our parts are small, the smallest is 1.5x1mm. Would the DRS24 work? What brand is usally more affor

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! Does anybody kow about a bga rework station that accurate and does the job (as possible) in one axis (no table moving after chip placing ... Something very accurate (I'm using a SRT Pinnacle 500 and it's not ok... NOT AT ALL) Thanks a lot! chry

The machine has good enough specifications for general BGA rework. Yes, it looks like a copy, and is similar to a number of rework stations. Your problem might be getting spare parts for this machine once in use. If it does not have remote TC, you mi

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
