When selecting a BGA rework station for batch BGA chip rework, companies typically consider product features such as automatic rework, controllable temperature (commonly referred to as three temperature zone control), and optical alignment rework. So, what criteria do customers usually base their decisions on when choosing the model specifications and configurations? In this article, Silman Tech’s BGA rework station editor will discuss the standard requirements for batch BGA chip rework companies when choosing a BGA rework station.
- Determine based on the quantity of BGA chips to be reworked: The rework volume of the BGA rework station needs to be determined through specific chip rework testing conducted by purchasing clients. It should never be based on subjective imagination. Therefore, customers must develop specific plans before purchasing BGA rework station equipment, including research and analysis, confirmation of equipment types, rework quantity, rework yield rate, etc. This prevents purchasing equipment without any basis or subjective imagination, which may lead to the purchased equipment not meeting rework requirements and increasing operating costs.
- Determine based on the size of the reworked chips: Consider whether it involves reworking BGA chips on large or small boards. If it’s large board rework, you can consider the DEZ-R880A model specification, which is convenient for operating large board requirements. If reworking BGA chips on small boards, you can choose the DEZ-R850 to ensure that it meets your rework requirements.
- Determine based on the rework efficiency requirements of the BGA chips: If your company requires high efficiency in reworking BGA chips to reduce labor costs, opting for automatic rework operation would be suitable. In this case, you can choose Silman Tech’s BGA rework station DEZ-R850. If your rework efficiency requirements are not very high, you can opt for a manual BGA rework station.
