BGA Rework Station for Precision Component Replacement | DEZ-R820

The DEZ-R820 Optical BGA Rework Station removes and replaces BGA, QFN, CSP, QFP, sockets and other surface-mounted components on assembled PCBs.

Its three-zone heating system controls heat above and below the component, while the optical alignment system superimposes the component terminals and PCB pads before placement.

The machine combines controlled desoldering, precision alignment, component placement and profile-based soldering in one workstation. This helps repair teams replace defective components while reducing the risk of PCB warpage, overheated neighbouring components, damaged pads and inaccurate placement.

The DEZ-R820 supports PCBs up to 415 × 370 mm and components from 2 × 2 mm to 80 × 80 mm, making it suitable for electronics manufacturing, PCBA repair, failure-analysis laboratories and engineering production.

Replace One Defective Component Without Discarding the PCBA

A completed PCB assembly may contain hundreds of correctly installed components but fail because of one damaged BGA, QFN, processor, memory device or socket.

The DEZ-R820 allows the defective component to be removed and replaced while retaining the rest of the assembly.

This is particularly valuable for:

  • Expensive PCB assemblies
  • Low-volume industrial boards
  • Prototype and engineering products
  • Imported control boards
  • Large BGA devices
  • Obsolete or difficult-to-replace assemblies
  • Products requiring failure-analysis confirmation

This gives quality engineers direct visual evidence instead of relying only on electrical symptoms or external appearance.

Typical Applications of the BGA Rework Station

BGA Removal and Replacement

Remove a defective BGA and install a replacement component using controlled heating and optical alignment. This is the primary application for processors, memory devices, controllers, graphics devices and other BGA packages.

QFN and CSP Rework

Replace bottom-terminated QFN and CSP components that cannot be aligned accurately from the external package outline alone.

BGA Rework After X-Ray Inspection

Repair bridges, abnormal voiding, insufficient solder, missing connections or component misalignment identified through X-ray inspection.

Prototype and Engineering Modification

Replace components during PCB development, validation and engineering changes without manufacturing another complete assembly.

Repair of High-Value Industrial PCBAs

Recover industrial controllers, power systems, communication boards and other expensive assemblies where replacing the complete PCBA is costly or impractical.

Production Defect Recovery

Repair recoverable PCBAs rejected during AOI, X-ray, electrical or functional testing and return acceptable boards to production.

Post-Rework Quality Verification

Use the DEZ-R820 with an X-ray inspection system to verify BGA and QFN solder joints after component replacement.

Control Heat Above and Below the PCB

BGA rework requires more than directing hot air at the top of a component.

If only the component surface is heated, the upper area may become too hot while the solder joints beneath the package remain below reflow temperature. Increasing the temperature further can damage the package, pads or nearby components.

The DEZ-R820 uses three independently controlled heating zones:
· 1,200 W upper hot-air heater;
· 1,200 W lower hot-air heater;
· 2,700 W carbon-fibre infrared preheater.

The infrared zone preheats a larger area of the PCB, while the upper and lower hot-air heaters concentrate the reflow process around the selected component.

Features of the BGA Rework Station R820

BGA Rework Station Adjustable Alignment System
BGA Rework Station Adjustable Alignment System
Accurate optical alignment is lost if the component shifts while it is being transferred from the alignment position to the PCB.

The DEZ-R820 integrates the upper heating head and component-placement mechanism. After alignment, the machine moves the component into position and lowers it onto the PCB.
BGA Rework Station Adjustable XYZ precision
Align Hidden BGA Terminals with PCB Pads
BGA solder balls and PCB pads are hidden after the component is placed. Manual top-view positioning cannot show whether every solder ball is correctly aligned with its pad.

The DEZ-R820 uses a CCD optical alignment system with beam-splitting imaging. The system displays the underside of the component and the PCB pad pattern together on the monitor.
BGA Rework Station Configure the Touchscreen
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
The actual temperature at the PCB or component may differ from the heater’s set temperature.

Thermocouple monitoring allows the operator to observe how the assembly responds during heating instead of relying only on the air-heater setting.
BGA Rework Station Optical alignment system
Secure Different PCB Sizes
The adjustable PCB fixture uses V-groove supports to position the board during heating, alignment and component placement. It supports PCB sizes from 65 × 65 mm to 415 × 370 mm.

The flexible support arrangement allows the fixture to be adapted to different board dimensions while providing clearance for bottom-side components.

Connect X-Ray Inspection with BGA Rework

X-ray inspection and BGA rework perform different but connected functions.

The X-ray system identifies the hidden solder defect and records its position. The rework station removes and replaces the affected component. The repaired assembly can then return to X-ray inspection for verification.

Recommended Process:

DEZ-X7600 X-Ray Inspection → DEZ-R820 BGA Rework → Post-Rework X-Ray Verification

Without pre-rework inspection, a good component may be removed unnecessarily. Without post-rework inspection, hidden defects beneath the replacement component may remain undetected.

FAQs by BGA Rework Station

What does a BGA Rework Station do?

It removes and replaces BGA and other surface-mounted components using controlled heating, optical alignment and precision placement.

The solder balls are located underneath the component and become invisible during placement. Optical alignment displays the solder-ball and PCB-pad patterns together.

It supports PCBs from 65 × 65 mm to 415 × 370 mm.

The listed component range is 2 × 2 mm to 80 × 80 mm.

Yes. The optical system and controlled heating can be used for compatible QFN, CSP and other bottom-terminated packages.

The infrared preheater warms a larger PCB area before local reflow, reducing the temperature difference between the repair area and surrounding board.

The machine provides automatic desoldering and lifting operation after the programmed heating process.

The system uses optical alignment followed by controlled Z-axis placement.

No. Pad cleaning, solder preparation and inspection are separate rework steps performed before the replacement component is installed.

The machine performs component removal, alignment, placement and soldering. Component reballing requires the appropriate separate tooling and process.

Yes. Profiles can be stored and reused for repeated repair of the same PCB and component configuration.

It is strongly recommended for BGA, QFN and other hidden solder joints because external inspection cannot verify every connection beneath the component.
