BGA-936UA rework station
EMP 2023 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
The Fonton BGA-936UA rework station offers excellent efficiency in both soldering and desoldering performance thanks to the 1000 W upper hot air injection heating and large IR bottom heating system. The adjustment time is significantly shortened due to the fast alignment calibration design. The coaxial mechanism prevents CSP chips from moving, allowing soldering work to rapidly commence. The system provides for a fast BGA chip location thanks to its tolerance within ±0,025 mm.
The bottom heating plate offers an area of 360 x 260 mm, and the IR heating offers highly efficient soldering and desoldering. A quick cooling system reduces cooling time up to 50% compared to other designs.
The system is controlled via an industrial-level microprocessor with integrated USB disk data storage providing parameter recording and user-friendly operation.

Understanding solder dross: causes and control strategies
Truth Electronic Manufacturing
Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.
