Ioan: We've been using a re-balling system for a few years, now, that we purchased from HTI Engineering (MA), now Milara, Inc. It was relatively inexpensive, less than $5,000, back in 1997. It's a manual system, using a stencil to deposit solder paste or paste flux, then another stencil for ball placement. The company isn't really marketing this system, but is willing to provide one. They can be reached at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> , or (508) 359-2786. If you'd like to discuss the operation further, please call or e-mail me.

Up to now I only tried Russ Winslow's preforms. Any other way to do it the cheper way, without buying a machine? If I should consider buying a machine, what alternatives are there?
