Looking for a rework station with vision system | 24 August, 2009

Hello,

I need some suggestion. I want to acquire a rework station that can handle small CSPs and has a vision system, but cost is a concern. Does anyone have an opinion on the brand I should look at? I see that there are some air-vac drs22 pre-owned available online, but I'm not sure I understand the differences between this model and the later drs25. Can someone share his experience?

Thanks!

DRS22 is not really comparable to the DRS25 due to a huge difference in the bottom heat technology used on those machines. If the PCBs are light enough the huge power of the DRS25 bottom heater is likely not needed, though.

I would ask about your processes, lead free or tin/lead, and recommend that you look at a used DRS24 at minimum, and a DRS25 if you can fund it.

If your PCB assemblies are small and smaller, you might look at Finetech, they handle small parts with ease.

I am not affiliated with, nor do I receive any compensation from any of the above mentioned companies.
