With the increasing use of BGA chips, many people are interested in the field of BGA chip rework. However, due to technological constraints, many BGA rework station manufacturers’ equipment cannot meet the requirements of high precision and irregular-shaped chip rework. For some beginners who are just starting out, they may only focus on product quotations before realizing that the equipment is not practical. When analyzing practical BGA rework stations, the following aspects should be considered: performance indicators, product pricing, after-sales service, and company scale. Before purchasing, it is essential to understand the information in the following aspects:
- Performance Indicators
This is the core key to a practical BGA rework station. Product performance needs to be evaluated from two aspects: operational performance indicators and rework performance indicators. Operational performance indicators include whether the product’s operating interface is simple and practical, whether it can automatically remove components, and whether multiple adjustments are required when reworking chips. System permissions and distinctions are also essential factors in determining whether a BGA rework station is practical. Regarding rework performance indicators, the importance of this aspect should be self-evident. The purpose of using a BGA rework station is to ensure that damaged chips can be repaired to minimize the company’s losses.
- Product Pricing
Product pricing is also one of the standards for judging whether a BGA rework station is practical. It is a well-known saying that “you get what you pay for,” and it applies here as well.
- Company Scale and After-sales Service
Company scale is closely related to product quality. Moreover, looking at cooperation clients can indicate whether the product quality is reliable. Large companies have strict approval processes, and becoming a supplier approved by such companies indicates that the product has no problem. This is one of the reasons for judging whether a BGA rework station is practical. Although after-sales service may not seem directly related to the usability of the BGA rework station, a company with good after-sales service can provide significant assistance, especially in later maintenance. It is still essential to focus on this aspect during the selection process.
In summary, through the above analysis of practical BGA rework stations, I believe everyone now has a clear understanding when making choices. Silman Tech is a leading global supplier of PCBA board rework process and equipment solutions. It has signed cooperation agreements with companies such as Huawei, Samsung, and Foxconn. The rework yield of Silman Tech’s BGA rework station exceeds 99%. If needed, feel free to contact us for further inquiries.
