Currently using a Aoyue 968 hot air station, I want to upgrade to ir and help would be great.

I just purchase an T862+ + IRDA Welder Infrared Heating Rework Station BGA SMT SMD from eBay, its work great on small to medium BGA chips, and excellent on all other type of SMD chips. But for large BGA chips the T862++ doesn't do the job.The T862++ is good for BGA up to 30mm in size.

depending what you planning on repairing, this model may work for. I have some regret on buying the T862++ because of the lack of temperature monitoring, no preset function,and chip size limitation for BGA chips. But other IR station will cost you at least $1,100.

Re: Looking for recommendations on IR rework station

Thanks for the reply . I am looking for a good all rounder like removing small bga and larger Gpu's northbridge southbridges as I'm not having a great time with my Aoyue 968 hot air in removing connectors and just wrecked some tracks trying to remove a Tps51120 chip from pcb as the heat is very uneven.

Looking to spend around 1K euro.
I was looking here

Not sure which model to go for as I have no experience with IR.

Re: Looking for recommendations on IR rework station

what a coincidence, I too was looking into buying that IR workstation. I will have to sell my T862++ to help with the purchase of that unit. Its sell for about $1100.00USD. I have read comments left on ebay from buyer and its seem to be a reliable unit. maybe someone who have this unit can confirm this.

Looks similar to the ACHI IR PRO SC. If it really is made from the same Chinese company, I would highly suggest you do a complete re-wire job when you get it. Actually, I'd say that applies to any Chinese-built station. If you don't... well you will see. Eventually

Some are built better than others, but I guarantee you will see at least 1 hack or a corner cut somewhere.

i know its an old post but how did you get on ? i am interested to bga rework station and i want scotle ir pro sc

http://usreworkstations.com/products...rework-station

Dont buy it. Those machines are in the same line as the Achi IR PRO SC, which is not even allowed in the Europe due to no CE certificate.

I interact with a lot of different individuals that are involved the bga rework field and the one machine in that category they seem to prefer the most is the Bauer IR PRO SC V4

http://www.thebgastation.com/index.p...&product_id=57

It's made in china but it's a UK product.

Re: Looking for recommendations on IR rework station

Personally I prefer hot air but If I were to buy an IR station and I could afford it it'd be the Bauer IR PRO SC V4 or the Jovy RE 8500.

Here is the one I'm looking at and I'd like to know if there is anybody here that owns it or is experience with IR stations.

I've seen some people saying that they prefer IR because it's better for working on Large thick boards.

What are your opinions with about IR stations?

I do not think that there is a second best method to reball motherboards and VGA.
If you do not do such repairs you can avoid it.

Re: Looking for recommendations on IR rework station

Sorry, but gotta revive this thread again.
How did you guys get on with the Bauer? How does Bauer compare against Jovy re8500?
Also, on a sobering note, it seems that, apart from poor build that Chinese brands are well known for, one serious problem with any bga- flavoured activity is correct use of heating profiles. Manufacturers of poor eqipment are useless on this, and even if they weren't, their inferior machies are too unstable heatwise anyway.
But what about the better manufacturers? Does anyone have good info on the heat profiles, timings, etc.?

HR8000 is the LY's one of the newest machine on the market! It is very reasonable price.

Moreover, I also agree with you guys that Bauer IR Pro SC is decent machine!

Re: Looking for recommendations on IR rework station

the bauer is the same as the ir pro, just over priced
