Pace Worldwide TF1500 Area Array Rework System Information

A WORLDWIDE COMMITMENT
With offices worldwide, PACE is a recognized world leader in the development of solutions for the assembly and repair of highly advanced electronics. Our expertise extends back to the dawn of the modern electronics industry. In 1958, PACE introduced training programs for the repair of printed wire assemblies, and soon after, revolutionized the industry by creating the first self-contained vacuum desoldering system.


Today, PACE continues to provide innovative solutions, products and training for the rework, repair and testing of printed circuit assemblies. Our unique capabilities and evolving vision have provided universal solutions for thru-hole and surface mount assembly and rework problems for the most advanced electronics.

Additionally, PACE manufactures Fume Extraction Systems to reduce exposure to harmful particulates and gases created from hand soldering operations. PACE Fume Extraction Systems effectively remove these contaminants from the worker’s breathing zone thereby reducing or eliminating health risks and improving productivity.
Our strong commitment and history of achievement has resulted in an unparalleled range of Assembly, Repair and Fume Extraction solutions to meet your needs whether working to IS0-9000, industrial, military or your own internal specifications. Whatever the challenge, PACE stands ready to help you set a new standard.

TF 1500 & SYSTEM SOFTWARE

Ideal for post assembly rework, repair and low volume production operations

The TF 1500 is the next generation in automated, cost effective solutions for area array package rework. No other system on the market is easier to use, ensuring operator
acceptance and success! Designed for today’s PCBs, the TF 1500 can safely install and remove a wide variety of CSPs, FCs, PBGAs, CBGAs, MLFs, LCCs, and other SMDs. The
TF 1500’s PC based software is so advanced that creating profiles has never been easier. The system guides the operator through an intuitive interface that virtually automates the process. All operations: component pick-up, alignment, placement, and reflow are completed in a single axis, eliminating the risk of component movement after placement. The PCB holder features fine micrometer adjustment for the most delicate X and Y axis alignments. The twin rail, linear bearings provide precision Z axis movement ensuring placement accuracy to within 25 μm (.001”). The optics boast a 300x zoom camera and the highest quality prism available for amazing image clarity. The TF 1500 uses a combination of Convective top heat with powerful IR bottom heating for the most effective, repeatable heating process available today. The TF 1500 is self-contained and does not require an external air supply or vacuum connections.

For larger applications(max PCB size 610mm x 610mm/24" x 24"), the TF 2500 Area Array Rework System is available. Designed for large & thermally massive pcb rework,
the TF 2500 features a 1200 Watt Convective top-heater and a bottom heater with 7 heating zones which can be independently activated via PC software for maximum control.

XR 3000 BGA/CSP INSPECTION SYSTEM

Real-time X-ray gives immediate feedback.

The XR 3000 is ideal for inspecting BGAs, CSPs, and other electronic components. The XR 3000 provides immediate feedback on your process using real time images. Images can be viewed through PACE’s ThermoFlo software or through an optional, flat screen, LCD monitor (P/N 7015-0010) when used as a stand-alone unit.

The XR 3000 has been designed with rework in mind so it is able to fit easily on the benchtop and can be relocated quickly. Featuring patented camera technology and outstanding zoom capability, the XR 3000 is able to identify a wide range of anomalies, as small as .025mm (.001”). Using PACE’s ThermoFlo software (via TF 1500 & TF 2500), images can be viewed, stored electronically, and managed. Defect analysis reports with images can be easily created.

SOFTWARE LIBRARY

When integrated with TF 1500 or TF 2500 software, the XR 3000 system can actually teach operators how to identify defects using the defect image library. Examples of common defects are included with the software that operators can refer to compare the live image of their work with the reference image. The library can be added to and modified so you can provide images of the actual work to the operator for immediate comparison.

 

AREA ARRAY INTERCONNECTION ANOMALIES IDENTIFIED BY THE XR 3000

BRIDGING MISSING SOLDER BALLS SOLDER VOIDS SOLDER BALLS COLD SOLDER
Bridging between solder joints is easily identified. Missing solder balls can be identified easily. Solder voids Solder balls in the center of the package are oversized due to delamination and compression under die area Cold solder is signified by a jagged, irregular edge around the perimeter of the solder ball. Note that in this image only some of the balls show this signature.

AVOID REJECTING GOOD BOARDS , WITH PACE’S PATENTED CAMERA TECHNOLOGY

Voltage blooming is associated with the X-ray camera used in many X-ray inspection systems. The phenomenon occurs when voltage is increased, causing the white area
of the X-ray image (the void) to expand (or bloom) and encroach on the black area.


This makes a void appear larger than it really is. A void that occupies 10% of a solder sphere at 50 kV may appear to consume up to 50% of the solder sphere at 70 kV. The patented camera technology found in PACE’s XR 3000 is the only system of its type not subject to Voltage Blooming. The camera technology ensures that void sizes remain consistent.

SUPPORT PRODUCTS FOR AREA ARRAY REWORK

PACE provides a full solution for Area Array Rework

The LS 3000 from PACE is the newest, cost effective, optical inspection system specifically designed for today’s electronics. Its primary use is for inspection of area array devices (PBGA,CSPs, Flip Chips, LGAs, CBGAs, etc.). However, the LS 3000 has a wide range of other inspection uses on any SMT or thru-hole based PCB. The LS 3000 is ideal for periodically monitoring the performance of production or rework reflow equipment. It is also a critical inspection/monitoring instrument for R&D labs and process development departments when developing new processes or troubleshooting problems.

COMPONENT STENCILING TOOLS AND STENCILS FLUX APPLICATOR
Applies solder paste to component, reducing the difficulty and mess associated with PCB stenciling. Allows for precise and repeatable application of flux by dipping component.

TRAINING

PACE offers one of the most advanced operator training courses available, PCT-500 Advanced Surface Mount Rework and Repair. Heavy emphasis is placed on profiling, positioning, installation and removal of grid array style components such as BGAs and flip chips. Area array component preparation including flux and/or solder paste stenciling, component reballing and advanced inspection methods using X-Ray are all covered. Finally, land replacement or repair is also practiced.
