[SBE] IR vs HotAir BGA rework stn?

[Edwin Bukont]

This may be more of a question for the TV and repair folks.   I am looking for some guidance on the purpose of a BGA rework station.  Anyone with experience?

 

Do you prefer IR or hot air?

 

Any manufactuers that are preferred, or to run away from?

 

Any recommended vendors?

 

Ideally I want a unit for under $1k that includes the ability to rework, not just reflow the target.  Rework usually includes lift, support and place of the chip.

 

Off line reply is fine.

 

Thanks
