Wave solder - Initially high cost but after that it is relatively cheap. Selective soldering with a solder pot such as the Air-Vac PCBRM models - Much lower cost than wave but if you get the right nozzles it is a great process. Solder preforms - s

Is anyone out there reworking the AMP BGA ziff sockets? AMP's recommendation is that it cannot be reworked. I have successfully reworked the 604 ball version of this socket, but I am having problems with the 603 ball version. I am using an Air-Vac

We also have an AT-707. It has performed pretty well for us. No issues thus far. Software has no auto profile like some others do but for the price its a good system. Get a good look at the optics before you buy. Have used this system for a couple ye

Good Morning All, We are looking at new equipment for reworking BGA components that is RoHS capable. I wanted to get a feel for what others in the industry are using and get some feedback good or bad on these systems. We are currently using an Air

I have seen point-to-point soldering iron tip robots in action at a number of factories. The problem is repeatability at delivering good solder joints. Consider a small selective solder machine, the nozzle type: www.ace-protech.com www.air-vac-eng.c

The board thickness is 50 thousandths. The style of the BGA is a 324 ball BGA that has an isolated center region. The machine that I am using is the Air-Vac DRS25. I'm not too sure why the pads are being removed when I am desoldering. I know when

We have both DRS24 and DRS25 Lead Free rework is done for the most part on the DRS25, although the DRS24 can handle some of our smaller pbFree assemblies. We bought the DRS25 machine new, it was not an upgrade. The machine is very successful at pb

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'

We have an Advanced Techniques AT707 system. Overall I am pretty pleased with it. Honestly we went with them because it was one of the lowest priced models when we were first getting into BGAs four years ago. They are worth a look. This year ill be l
