Bench­Top Rework System<br />

ADVANTAGES OF INFRARED REWORKING<br />

● Cost Efficiency — Expensive devices and those that are hard to find replacements can be safely and<br />

easily repaired or reworked in just a few minutes using the focused infrared beam.<br />

● Reliability — Heat is generated by an infrared light source and remain focused on the target device.<br />

Disruption, displacement, and damage to adjacent components due to limitations of some traditional<br />

repair and rework equipments are eliminated.<br />

● Versatility — <strong>The</strong> soldering capabilities of a simple soldering iron or hot air gun and reflow delivery<br />

can be achieved in a safer and more efficient way using the heat radiated from the infrared source.<br />

OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

A. INITIAL SET­UP / INSTALLATION<br />

WORK AREA<br />

● <strong>The</strong> equipment must be placed on a flat stable surface of at least one square meter and at a height<br />

that suits the user.<br />

● RECOMMENDATION: <strong>The</strong> electricity supply must be dedicated and free from interference of<br />

other devices.<br />

SYSTEM SET­UP<br />

NOTE: Lock all moving parts of the system before moving the equipment<br />

from one location to another to avoid misalignment and possible damage.<br />

WARNING: For the operator or user safety, make sure the system<br />

is completely isolated from the main power source (i.e., unplugged).<br />

● Connect and secure the tubes, lines, and cords to their respective receptacles.<br />

● Make sure all function switches are OFF.<br />

SOLDERING IRON HOLDER<br />

1. Install the solder wire to the soldering iron holder as in the figure below.<br />

2. Attach and secure the soldering iron cord assembly to the 6­pin receptacle located at the lower right<br />

area of the main unit.<br />

3. Place the soldering iron to the soldering iron stand as shown below.<br />

START­UP & INITIAL CHECK­UP<br />

Soldering Iron and Holder Set­Up<br />

● Turn Main Power Switch ON (button “1”) and check if the digital display panel lights up.<br />

● Turn on the Optimizer (button “6”) and check the LCD monitor.<br />

● Turn the Main Vacuum Switch ON (button “3”) and check if the pump is working.<br />

ATTENTION<br />

<strong>The</strong> temperature settings used in this manual are provided for reference purpose. Actual<br />

temperature settings for soldering and reworking are dependent on several factors such as the<br />

size of device to be soldered and solder paste temperature characteristics. In addition, very<br />

high reworking temperatures can damage sensitive SMT materials if not properly handled.<br />

Please refer to the manufacturer’s data/datasheet for the appropriate parameters of the device<br />

before proceeding with the soldering or rework process.<br />

OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

B. REMOVING A COMPONENT<br />

1. Position the PCB in the PCB holder such that the portion or component to be reworked is directly<br />

above the Pre­heater.<br />

2. Lock the PCB holder to keep the PCB in place.<br />

3. Adjust the Y axis and the Welding System (X axis) to position the Infrared tool perpendicular to the<br />

broken component.<br />

4. Secure or lock when properly adjusted.<br />

5. Press the Pre­heater switch (button“11”) to begin pre­heating.<br />

6. Set the desired temperature using buttons “11a” and “11b”.<br />

7. Allow sufficient time for Pre­heater to heat up PCB to desired working temperature. Pre­heater set­<br />

tings may be set to 350 to 450 degrees, which in turn radiates a relative temperature of 120 to 170<br />

degrees to the PCB.<br />

8. To check for the actual board temperature, place the temperature sensor tip near the edge of the<br />

component to be removed. (See figure below.) When the board temperature rises above 100°C the<br />

lower display (item 15 from the front panel guide) would show the actual PCB temperature.<br />

Temperature<br />

Sensor<br />

9. Put on the welding goggles or flip down the vision shield before switching on the infrared tool. This<br />

can be done after the temperature of the PCB has increased to the desired working temperature<br />

(normally around 120°C to 170°C).<br />

10. Turn on the Infrared tool (button “9”) and adjust the Infrared focus light (by moving the Infrared<br />

tool up and down) depending on the size of your component. It is best to have the infrared light<br />

beam cover the whole area of the IC to be removed or even slightly larger to accommodate reflow.<br />

11. Lock the infrared tool using the knobs found on both sides of the Welding System.<br />

12. Once the Infrared tool with the proper focus light size is locked, you may list down the distance<br />

using the focus scale for future reference.<br />

13


OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

NOTE: <strong>The</strong> Infrared focus light must be slightly larger<br />

than the component size. (Smaller focus light<br />

has a more concentrated heat which can dam­<br />

age sensitive ICs.)<br />

To use the AUTOMATE function follow steps 13 to 18;<br />

for manual desoldering proceed to step 19.<br />

13. Turn off the Infrared tool (button “9”).<br />

14. Turn on the Automate IR Tool Switch (button “10”).<br />

15. Set the desired time of welding using buttons “10a” and “10b”. Normal setting would be 30 to 90<br />

seconds. Countdown will start as soon as the set infrared temperature is reached.<br />

16. Turn on the Infrared tool (button “9”) and set to the desired temperature. Normal desoldering<br />

temperature setting would be within 180°C to 220°C .<br />

17. Put on the welding goggles or flip down the vision shield.<br />

18. Infrared welding automatically switches off when the time has elapsed. <strong>The</strong> display will show the<br />

19. Unlock the X axis and push Welding System to the left side.<br />

20. Turn on Main Vacuum by pressing the Main Vacuum Control (button “3”). Use the Vacuum Suction<br />

Pen to remove the component. See image below.<br />

21. After de­welding switch OFF the infrared tool (button “9”), Pre­Heater Power Switch (button<br />

“11”), as well as the Automate IR Tool Switch (button “10”), if applicable.<br />

NOTE: When the vacuum switch is<br />

pressed, the vacuum nozzle is ON.<br />

When the vacuum switch is not pressed,<br />

the suction pen is ON.<br />

OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

C. CLEANING LEFTOVER SOLDER FROM DESOLDERED BGA<br />

1. Insert a wide edge tip to the soldering iron handle.<br />

2. Turn on the Soldering Iron Power Switch (button “12”),.<br />

3. Set to the desired temperature (normally between 280°C and 320°C).<br />

4. Apply solder flux to the area to be cleaned.<br />

5. Pass the soldering iron tip over the area with left­over solders. <strong>The</strong> tip would pick up these solders.<br />

Gently wipe off the picked up solders on a damp sponge.<br />

6. Repeat the process until thoroughly cleaned.<br />

D. RE­BALLING BGA<br />

1. Clean up the BGA component.<br />

2. Attach the BGA to its corresponding BGA stencil. Use high temperature tape to properly secure the<br />

underside of the BGA .<br />

3. Apply a thin layer of solder paste to the BGA stencil.<br />

4. Wipe clean the excess solder paste.<br />

5. Place the BGA stencil with the BGA still attached to the PCB holder, with the stencil side facing up.<br />

6. Align the infrared tool with the component.<br />

7. Place the temperature sensor on top of the stencil.<br />

8. Turn on the pre­heater and set the temperature to 350°C. Allow sufficient time for the pre­heater<br />

to heat up.<br />

9. Turn­on the infrared tool and set the temperature to approximately 180°C.<br />

10. Wait for all the solder paste to melt and turn into solder balls.<br />

11. Turn off the pre­heater and the infrared tool.<br />

E. REPLACING A BGA<br />

1. Place the PCB on top of the PCB holder such that the portion to be reworked is directly above the<br />

pre­heater. Use the inner beam edges as a placement guide.<br />

2. Lock the PCB holder to prevent the PCB from moving.<br />

3. Press the Pre­Heater switch (button “11”) to begin pre­heating.<br />

4. Roll down the adjustment ladder and move the Y axis and Optimizer System (X axis) such that the<br />

Suction Nozzle is right above the component of concern.<br />

5. Lock the X and Y axis.<br />

6. Place the BGA on top of its footprint.<br />

7. Switch the Main Vacuum Control (button “3”) ON.<br />

Suction Nozzle<br />

8. Press the vacuum switch (button “4”) to activate the suction nozzle and pick up the BGA/<br />

component. Make sure the IC is completely level and not slanted as seen in the picture below. If<br />

the IC is slanted adjust the Suction Nozzle until perfect level is achieved.<br />

15


OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

9. Roll up the adjust ladder. Make sure the IC is completely level and not slanted as in the picture<br />

below. If the IC is slanted adjust the Suction Nozzle until perfect level is achieved.<br />

10. Make sure the red arrows meet each other at the tip after rolling up the adjustment ladder. This<br />

corresponds to the 1:1 split vision of the component and the PCB.<br />

11. Turn the Optimizer System (button “6”) ON.<br />

12. Pull forward the Vision Tray just beneath the Suction Nozzle.<br />

13. Look into the LCD monitor and use the Micro­Adjust System to position the BGA/components. Move<br />

the Adjustment Ladder for more precise placement. Lights can be adjusted for better visibility. Use<br />

button “7” for better view of the print on the PCB and button “8” for better view of the component.<br />

14. After the BGA/component has been centered and positioned properly, push the Vision Tray entirely<br />

and slowly roll down the Adjustment Ladder. Release the Vacuum Switch (button “4”) to let BGA/<br />

component fall down to its place on the PCB.<br />

IMPORTANT: DO NOT let the BGA component come into full contact with the<br />

PCB while rolling the adjustment ladder. Leave at least 1­2mm of space to let the<br />

BGA naturally fall into place when you release the vacuum. See illustrations below.<br />

Figure 1.<br />

Clearance height of 1­2mm before<br />

releasing the vacuum and let the<br />

BGA/component fall into place.<br />

NOTE: <strong>The</strong> 1:1 optimizer scale’s red arrow is applicable to<br />

BGA ICs of 2 mm in thickness. Varying thickness of BGA<br />

ICs may require the user to adjust the ladder to get the<br />

best possible 1:1 split vision of the component. In this<br />

case, users would be required to determine the applicable<br />

scale when reworking different types of components.<br />

OPERATING GUIDELINES<br />

(Continuation… “Replacing a BGA”)<br />

15. Roll up the Adjustment Ladder entirely after releasing the vacuum and letting BGA/component fall<br />

to its place on the PCB.<br />

16. Adjust the Pre­Heater temperature using buttons “11a” and “11b”.<br />

17. Release the lock of the Optimizer System and slowly push it to the right.<br />

18. Adjust Y axis and Welding System (X axis) to position the Infrared Tool right above the BGA/<br />

component.<br />

13. Turn on the Infrared tool (button “9”).<br />

14. Adjust the Infrared focus light (by moving Infrared tool up and down) depending on the size of<br />

your component.<br />

15. Secure the position using the locks/knobs found on both sides of the Welding System.<br />

16. Turn off the Infrared tool (button “9”).<br />

17. To check for the actual board temperature, place the temperature sensor tip near the edge of the<br />

component. (See figure below.) When the board temperature rises above 100°C the lower display<br />

(item 15 from the front panel guide) would show the actual PCB temperature.<br />

18. Turn ON the Infrared Tool (button “9”).<br />

19. Adjust the infrared temperature using buttons “9a” and “9b”. Normal welding settings would be<br />

around 180°C to 220°C.<br />

Temperature<br />

Sensor<br />

To use the AUTOMATE function follow steps 20 to 22;<br />

for manual soldering proceed to step 23.<br />

20. Turn off the Infrared tool (button “9”).<br />

21. Turn on the Automate IR Tool Switch (button “10”).<br />

22. Set the desired time of welding using buttons “10a” and “10b”. Normal setting would be 30 to 90<br />

seconds. Countdown will start as soon as the set infrared temperature is reached. Likewise, welding<br />

automatically stops when the countdown time has elapsed.<br />

NOTE: Welding time depends on the size of the BGA/component and the type of flux being used.<br />

Make sure to check the suggested welding time of components before starting the rework process.<br />

23. When welding is complete, switch OFF the infrared tool (button “9”).<br />

24. Remove the welding goggles or lift the vision shield.<br />

25. Unlock the X axis and push the Welding System (assembly) to the left side.<br />

27. Unlock the PCB holder and remove the reworked PCB.<br />

17


PROFILING<br />

Recommended settings and profiling procedure:<br />

1. Follow steps 1­15 of Replacing a BGA guide.<br />

2. After the BGA IC has been properly placed on top of the target area slide the infrared module di­<br />

rectly on top of the target device.<br />

3. Turn on the infra­red sensor and set the infrared temperature to around 150­180 degrees. <strong>The</strong> in­<br />

frared tool would slowly light up.<br />

4. Place the tip of the thermal sensor in direct line of sight to the infrared beam. Placing the tip 1 or 2<br />

inches from the mouth of the infrared module is recommended.<br />

5. When the infrared beam has lit up to a high intensity, focus its beam such that the main beam (the<br />

brightest circle) slightly encompasses the entire target BGA. Mark this height on the scale as our<br />

optimum height for this size of BGA. A recommended height for starters is between 25­28 mm.<br />

6. Carefully place the tip of the thermal sensor on one corner of the BGA. <strong>The</strong> tip of the sensor should<br />

be touching the BGA IC, or the PCB Board. For best results it is recommended that the thermal<br />

sensor be placed directly on center top area of the IC to be soldered.<br />

7. Turn off the infrared module.<br />

8. Turn on the pre­heater and set the pre­heat temperature to around 300 to 350 degrees. This, in<br />

turn, radiates an effective temperature of 150 to 180 degrees on the target PCB.<br />

9. turn on the infrared module when the pre­heater has reached the target temperature and the PCB<br />

has heat up to around 150­180 degrees.<br />

10. Place the thermal sensor’s tip carefully at one corner of the BGA. Make sure the thermal sensor is<br />

within the main beam of the infrared and directly touches the BGA or the PCB.<br />

11. Set the infrared temperature to around 180°C. <strong>The</strong> infrared beam would slowly brighten until it<br />

reaches the set temperature.<br />

12. When the actual temperature display has reached the set temperature use a timer to record the<br />

time it takes for proper reflow to occur. If the temperature is not enough to allow reflow increase<br />

the set temperature by one step and restart the timer. Continue this procedure until complete re­<br />

flow has occurred. Record the temperature setting and the time it took for complete reflow to oc­<br />

cur. This could be recorded as the optimum temperature and timer setting.<br />

13. Turn off the infrared module and pre­heater.<br />

14. Wait for the BGA and PCB to cool down before removing from the system.<br />

After the profiling procedure has been completed the following data will be obtained.<br />

Profile Data<br />

PARAMETERS SETTINGS<br />

Pre­Heating Temperature 370°C<br />

Infrared Module Height 26 mm from PCB<br />

Infrared Set Temperature 200°C<br />

Timer Settings 40 seconds<br />

<strong>The</strong>rmal Sensor Placement Corner of IC<br />

Further reworking can be done based on these data.<br />

18


PROFILING<br />

Profile Adjustment<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> timer may need to be increased if only partial reflow occurs and some balls at the edges are not<br />

fully melded with the PCB.<br />

2. If timer has been increased up to 90 seconds and still no complete reflow occurs re­set timer to the<br />

original and increase infra­red temperature this time.<br />

3. If the infrared temperature has been increased to nearly equal the maximum reflow temperature<br />

before complete reflow occurs, this may post harm to the components. Decrease the infrared tem­<br />

perature and increase the pre­heating temperature.<br />

4. If the components appear to be getting damaged, decrease the infrared temperature setting. <strong>The</strong><br />

pre­heating temperature can be increased to compensate.<br />

5. If the BGA ICs keeps getting exposed without any result, it may be that the height of the infrared<br />

module is too low causing the main beam to be too focused on the center of the target object. In­<br />

crease the height of the infrared module if this occurs.<br />

Timer Settings<br />

After profile adjustments the new profile may be within the following range.<br />

Temperature in Celsius<br />

250<br />

200<br />

150<br />

100<br />

50<br />

0<br />

NOTE: In case reworking does not work on the gathered<br />

profile the following adjustments may be done to the profile.<br />

Adjusted Profile Data<br />

PARAMETERS SETTINGS<br />

Pre­Heat Temperature 370±15°C<br />

Infrared Module Height 26±3mm<br />

Infrared Set Temperature 200±6°C<br />

Timer Settings 40±20 seconds<br />

<strong>The</strong>rmal Sensor Placement Corner of IC or Center of IC<br />

<strong>The</strong> timer only counts down when the set temperature has been reached, the setting for the timer<br />

would now be for the actual reflow time not including the preheating and soaking time. Recommended<br />

settings for timer are 30 to 90 seconds. See illustration below.<br />

Set Timer<br />

Time in seconds<br />

Timer configuration: Timer starts counting down only when the set<br />

temperature has been reached; the temperature is then maintained at this<br />

set amount of time. When the timer reaches zero the infrared is shutdown.<br />

REWORKING TIPS<br />

● Always apply flux to joints before reflow.<br />

● Before replacing a component, check if there is enough solder on the pads to solder new compo­<br />

nent.<br />

● Before replacing a component, make sure the new component has no bent leads.<br />

● Use Flux Gel. When the gel turns into a fluid/liquid, this means the PCB is already preheated and<br />

may now be applied heat using the infrared tool. Flux Gel also helps in proper placement of the<br />

component.<br />

● If the pre­heat temperature is too low or the preheating time is too short when you apply the infra­<br />

red tool, the heat will be absorbed by the PCB's ground plane and will increase the time to reflow.<br />

● <strong>The</strong> longer the PCB is pre­heated, the less infrared for top heat is required.<br />

● When the solder is fully molten, tap the PCB and watch the surface tension of the solder draw the<br />

component into exact alignment.<br />

● Never use temperature settings higher than maximum allowable reflow temperature.<br />

● <strong>The</strong> height of the infrared tool may be raised or lowered depending on the type of solder paste used,<br />

and target device size.<br />

● Lead free solder paste tend to need a higher temperature to reflow .<br />

● Larger IC packaging may need a longer time before reflow occurs.<br />

GLOSSARY<br />

PRE­HEATER<br />

<strong>The</strong> device or mechanism that provides heat to PCB and attached component prior to actual rework<br />

process. This prepares and protects the PCB from delaminating and the component from thermal<br />

shock. <strong>The</strong> pre­heater is also responsible for equalizing the conductive effect (heat) to the ground<br />

plane of the PCB and supplying 75% of heat energy during the entire rework process.<br />

OPTIMIZER SYSTEM<br />

A visual inspection system that uses split vision technology to create optic illusions. This projects the<br />

view of the bottom part of a BGA/component and the top of a PCB using two light sources such that<br />

the balls and holes are drawn into perfect alignment. <strong>The</strong> lights can be adjusted to be brighter or<br />

dimmer in order to achieve an optimized view.<br />

GOGGLES and VISION SHIELD<br />

<strong>The</strong> devices that protect the eyes from the harmful effects of direct exposure to infrared radiation.<br />

In addition, it allows the user to see the focused infrared light for precise soldering and reworking.<br />

SET TEMPERATURE<br />

<strong>The</strong> temperature that is being inputted to the BGA rework system. This can be slightly lower or<br />

higher than the recommended solder paste reflow temperature or equal to or lower than the maxi­<br />

mum allowable reflow temperature.<br />

REFLOW TEMPERATURE<br />

<strong>The</strong> temperature in which the solder melts and melds completely with the PCB.<br />

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE REFLOW TEMPERATURE<br />

<strong>The</strong> maximum temperature that devices or components can be subjected to in order to achieve a<br />

perfect reflow. Manufacturers of ICs, PCBs, solder paste, and solder flux oftentimes incorporate this<br />

information from the component datasheet or technical manual to serve as reference during rework.<br />

THERMAL or TEMPERATURE SENSOR<br />

<strong>The</strong> arm­like device that is protruding from the side of the infrared module and provides the most<br />

approximate temperature reading being delivered to the component during rework. <strong>The</strong> suggested<br />

usage is to place the tip at the edge or center of the component of concern and must be physically<br />

in contact with the said object.<br />
