Rework system provides even heating
The Sniper-WB, available from Kaisertech, has been developed to rework PCBs as small as 51 x 51mm right up to 508 x 610mm, and even larger boards can be accommodated by special request.
The APE Sniper is an operator friendly BGA rework system that combines precision component removal and replacement with optical alignment.
It is suitable for use with a range of surface mount components and has been designed to provide absolute control in positioning together with a high degree of process repeatability in what previously has been a variable process highly dependent on operator skill.
The equipment provides fast registration and does not need adjusting mirrors or lengthy setup periods when changing between component types.
A split image of the component and PCB component pattern is viewed on a colour monitor, and axis adjustment is made with a vacuum locked PCB worktable.
Once aligned the component is automatically placed at the press of a button.
SMC is so impressed with the Sniper system and the service provided by Kaisertech, says the company's technical manager Justin Turner, that it is now offering a separate BGA rework service. Request a free brochure from Kaisertech ...
