There are several out there. We will be doing some proprietary BGA installation in-house and I need a rework station. Has anyone had any experience with Focal Spot RD-500? Air-Vac DRS25? Or is there a better system out there for occasional to light u

I had a PDR Lightmaster Pro at the last place I worked at, and I thought it was the best rework station I've ever used. Not only because of the fact that no nozzles were needed, but the heat delivery from the focused IR light was superb. I don't know

I concur with Dave.....I have done this often with little fall out. After rework reflow we would x-ray just to ensure an acceptable joint structure. Just for curiosity sakes....are you removing a defective BGA and replacing with a good one? Site pre
