BGA

A BGA rework station is a machine that can be used to refinish or repair printed circuit boards (PCBs) with ball grid array 
(BGA) packaging and surface-mounted devices (SMDs). These rework stations allow the technicians to remove defected parts, 
reinstall incorrectly placed parts or replace any missing part in the PCBs. Rework stations can also be used to work on 
PCBs with column grid array packaging, chip scale packages, quad flat packages, land grid arrays or other SMDs. Thus,
BGA rework stations are frequently named SMD rework stations or surface-mounted technology (SMT) rework stations.
The features of each BGA rework station dictates the size of the PCBs that can be reworked and the types and volume of
jobs that can be performed. For example, BGA rework stations without the split-vision functionality are best for entry-level 
jobs, while BGA rework stations with it are suitable for more complex jobs. Additionally, some rework stations have automated 
functions, while other require full manual work.
