Subject: [TN] BGA Rework Station Recommendations


I've proposed to management that since we will need a BGA rework station
if/when we begin using BGAs, and since our current old pick and place
machines aren't up to the task, and that since our initial usage at first
will be low volume (5 to 10 per month) assemblies, that we look into
procuring the rework station and use it for the initial placement of the
BGAs after reflow (or maybe even carefully carry the placed assemblies to
the rework station, place the BGA, the carefully carry back to the oven for
reflow). Naturally, I got assigned the task of researching equipment and
making the recommendation.

Do you have any recommendations on what equipment would be best suited for
this, or what you have and what you like and don't like about it?

You can send replies offline if you would like.

Thanks,

Blair Hogg
