The difference between a hot air reheat station and a BGA IR infrared reheat station

The main difference between a hot air rework station and a BGA IR rework station is how they heat the board. A hot-air rework station uses heated air to transfer heat from the tool-to-board interface and into the solder balls, while an IR BGA rework station uses infrared light to heat each ball sufficiently so that it melts.

The next important difference is how they control temperature: hot-air rework stations use PID temperature control, but IR BGA rework stations use proportional pressure modulation (PPM). PPM is more precise than PID because it can monitor pressure changes in milliseconds. This means that when you're applying flux to a wafer or reloading solder balls on a wafer, you can respond quickly by adjusting the PPM settings as needed. With PID, this would take about 20 seconds per change due to slow response times in most systems.

Another key difference is in the airflow control systems; the warm air does not need a specialized airflow because there is no need for cooling during backflow, as this all happens outside the furnace chamber using an external fan that blows all zones equally, whether they are near or far from each other.
