Hot Air SMD Rework Station
The FINEPLACER® coreplus is a universal hot air rework station for electronic components and assemblies.
The complete rework cycle, including desoldering and soldering the component, residual solder removal and reballing, can be performed on the same compact rework system. The spectrum of compatible surface-mount devices ranges from very small (01005) to large components (BGA).
The full-area Bottom Heating Module has been optimized for reworking medium sized PCB of consumer electronics (tablets, laptops, gaming consoles) or medical technology products (i.e. MRT devices).
A pre-installed profile library and an intuitive visual user experience enables new operators to pick up work immediately. Numerous professional features, such as digital top heater calibration, precision touchdown force control and live process observation, make the FINEPLACER® coreplus a future-proof investment when the demands get tougher.
The trend towards ever increasing data rates demands large bandwidths and thus usage of higher and higher frequencies. ICs are getting smaller and BGA-packages more common in an RF-Engineer‘s day to day work. The FINEPLACER® core gives us the means to handle those ICs reliably, saving us time and nerves. It is a great extension of our assembly technology.

Applications & Processes
From small 008004 components to massive BGA - with a broad range of supported applications and processes, our professional SMD rework systems are ready to tackle any SMD rework challenge. With industry-leading thermal management and a modular hardware and software architecture, our SMD rework systems have been designed to yield reproducible process results for all steps of the SMD rework cycle.
Functions - Modules - Enhancements
Our SMD rework solutions are as individual as our customers' requirements and offer a wide range of configuration options. In addition to the system's basic functions, which are part of the standard functional range, numerous process modules are available for each system, expanding the spectrum of applications. Retrofittable at any time, they enable additional SMD rework processes either directly or as part of a module package. A selection of functional enhancements and accessory systems make daily work with the SMD rework system easier and help to make certain process sequences even more efficient.
Manual squeegee units for viscous materials like adhesives or flux. Suitable for use with stamping tools or for direct dipping of various sized components. With adaptable layer thicknesses.

BGA Reballing
This video demonstrates a safe and easy reballing process on a FINEPLACER® hot gas rework system in order to repair a BGA component. Also included is a contactless removal of residual solder from the BGA.
Rework of GPU
Typical process steps of CPU/GPU rework. This includes pre-inspection, board preparation, profiling de-soldering the component, residual solder removal, reballing, special processes such as solder paste printing or dispensing, soldering the new/reworked component and finally the follow-up optical inspection.
Technical Paper
Rework of BGA/CSP and CPU/GPU SMD
The rework of BGA components with large ball arrays, processor units (CPU) as well as graphics chips (GPU) and CSP with a fine pitch array demand special device configurations that combine precise thermal management with high placement accuracy and high-resolution optics.
