The working principle of BGA rework stations varies slightly among different manufacturers, but they generally share similar concepts. Let’s first introduce the concept of temperature profiles. The solder balls on BGAs are divided into two types: leaded and lead-free. Leaded solder balls have a melting point between 183°C and 220°C, while lead-free solder balls have…

Initially, when manually desoldering BGA ICs, many of us may feel apprehensive because we lack an understanding of its soldering process and precautions. Each person may have their own approach to manually desoldering BGAs, but overall, it is important to adhere to scientific soldering standards. Understanding the principles and processes of surface mount soldering for…

As society progresses, it seems that we can’t live without our mobile phones. Therefore, mobile phone repair has become a significant issue, and many factories or repair shops are unsure how to choose a suitable mobile BGA rework station. Indeed, as a high-priced and long-term device, encountering problems with a mobile BGA rework station several…

There are generally two methods for reworking BGA chips: BGA rework stations and manual rework with hot air guns. Most factories or repair shops choose BGA rework stations because of their high success rate and simple operation, requiring minimal skills from operators and featuring one-click operation, suitable for batch rework. The second method, manual rework,…

BGA chips share a common characteristic: they are small in size, powerful in function, low in cost, and high in performance. Therefore, BGA chips are widely used in many applications. The equipment used for reworking BGA chips is called a BGA rework station or BGA rework system, which covers various types of packaged chips. So,…

Auxiliary materials for BGA rework stations are essential for repairing BGA chips. During the soldering process, we inevitably need to handle tasks such as ball planting. Below are several commonly used consumable tools: Flux paste plays a significant role in the soldering process. Whether it’s re-soldering or direct soldering, we need to apply flux paste…

With the increasing use of chips, many EMS factories have large quantities of damaged BGA chips waiting for repair. If manual BGA soldering is used in such cases, the labor cost will be very high. In such situations, it is necessary to use fully automatic BGA rework stations for repair. Does this mean that manual…

With the rapid development of the BGA rework industry in recent years, the use of BGA rework stations has become increasingly widespread. For those within the BGA rework industry, I believe everyone knows what a BGA rework station is because some people deal with it every day. However, for those outside the BGA rework industry,…
