| | Can anyone give me any info on the effective removal of BGA's? I need to be able to take a variety of BGA's off boards quickly without creating pad damage. I am not yet concerned about the re-attach process. | Hi Craig, | I have been researching

What is your budget limit? That is going to be a major factor in what you end up with. We have a machine that is lower cost and it performs lower cost. It works and we always get the job done correctly but we cannnot use "canned programs" on it. i

I know what you mean. Saw this in systems where cooling was not done through the reflow nozzle (i.e. PACE). What happens is that as you run 1-2 profiles, the metal parts along the pathway of the hot air (before it comes out of the nozzle) act as he

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I ended up borrowing a Pace Worldwide PH100 Preheater, which worked like a charm. I'm in the process of purchasing one for our own shop. I had to place the aluminum pcb directly onto the PH100's ceramic heating pla

Concerning your desoldering equipment, we have made major improvements to prevent solder clogging on PACE Solder Extractor handpieces. Replacing the venerable SX-80, the new SX-100 (and SX-90) Solder Extractor has been improved so that is does not cl

I'm currently researching new rework equipment, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. We currently have an older PACE hot air system that has had mixed results. It tends to overheat the board and IC. Is the IR any better, or has hot ai

I have used either a Dremmel tool or a Pace rework station on the past to do the trace cutting. You basically grind through the mask and the trace with the edge of a very thin cutter, stopping once all teh copper is gone. You may want to cover the cu

We are looking for a good solder/desolder machine for state-of-the-art pcb rework. A step up from the Pace/OK Industries is the level I am researching. The application is a nice R&D Lab on state-of-the art PCBs. Anybody who has suggestions or recomme
