Jeffrey, we have had the VPI-1000 in house for a few months now, and overall
it is a very useful tool. With it, you are able to inspect BGA's for shorts,
and the first three rows of balls for wetting. The only downside we have
seen is that the software could use some refinement (Metcal is working on
this), and the mirrors aren't very robust. Metcal is currently supplying
free replacement mirrors until they can implement improvements.

Subject: [TN] Metcal BGA Rework/Prototype station


We are at the beginning of a new fiscal year and looking at new "toys", and
the two that have caught our eye are the Metcal APR-5000 BGA/CSP rework
station  and its companion the VPI-1000 BGA inspection system.  Are any of
you using these systems? Opinions as to their quality, usability, and
reliability would be welcomed.

TIA,
