Vinit, Rework machine is nothing more than an expensive heat gun. They come in all shapes and models. Unless these bells and whistles meet your requirements than the investment is worthwhile. We currently using an Air-Vac DRS22 for the last 7 years in our prototype shop and it can accommodates all our reworks with advanced packages (BGA,, LGA, micro BGA, flip-chip, CSP...). Air-Vac has proven its reliablity and profile accuracy to us. We currently also looking at their newer model DRS 24 and it has improved the bottom heating plate to handle larger assemblies. Tuan.

Hi all, I am presently evaluating BGA rework machine. I would be grateful if, anyone who is using the same, could provide me their feedback regarding their respective equipment, regarding the performance, reliability, accuracy, ease of operation, nozzle reliability, nozzle costs, profile accurcy, software, and any other factor which you feel is important. I am also looking at this equipment for prototyping. Thanks in anticipation. Regards Vinit Verma Flextronics Technologies (India) Pvt. Ltd.
