TF 1000 BGA/CSP Rework Station
A. Introduction
As electronic assemblies get smaller and lighter, PCB’s are steadily decreasing
in size, and semiconductor devices are slowly being replaced by smaller area
array packages such as BGA’s and CSP’s. The TF-1000 has been specifically
designed for the rework of these devices, with an emphasis on small boards and
components.
B. Regulation
The TF-1000 is in conformity with the European Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
and EMC Directive 89/336/EMC, modified 92/31/ECC, 93/68/EEC.
Caution!
During normal operation, the top heater, nozzle, bottom-side-heater(s) and
halogen lamps will get hot. Contacting them directly may result in serious
injury.
3
C. Features
1. The TF 1000 System is lightweight and compact, with the placement
station and reflow station combined in one unit
2. Up to 40 reflow profiles can be stored by the TF 1000. Saved profiles
can be recalled at the touch of a button and are displayed on the LCD
display panel.
3. A colored LED indicates each phase of the reflow cycle so the status of
each operation can be easily seen and monitored.
4. Placement of small BGA/CSP is easily accomplished through the use
of microscope optics with image overlay.
5. A highly efficient, 700-watt topside heater used in conjunction with a
truly unique nozzle design insures the uniformity of the temperature
across the assembly.
6. The infrared bottom side heater with a wide heating area is
incorporated to prevent warping of the PCB, and to enhance the reflow
of BGA/CSP.
7. The blower and vacuum pumps are self-contained. No external air
supplies are required.
8. A cooling fan automatically activates at the end of the reflow cycle to
cool the component, PCB, and nozzle.
9. The TF 1000 is versatile and ensures repeatable results

F. Before Operation
1. Confirm the safety of the machine and the surrounding work area before
turning the power on.
2. The bottom heater will take approximately 5-6 minutes to warm up to the
desired temperature once power is applied. During this time the HEATER
START light will flicker on and off. Once the desired temperature is
reached the HEATER START light will remain lit, indicating the TF 1000 is
ready to use.
3. Confirm that components/devices mounted to the PCB do not exceed the
following height restrictions:
A. Top-side of PCB – 30 mm maximum height
B. Bottom-side of PCB – 15 mm maximum height
7
G. Installing PCB
A
1. Loosen both (A) knobs to allow the PCB holders to glide freely in the X-
axis, and set the distance between them so that the spring loaded PCB
holder will hold the PCB firmly. T igh ten the (A) knob on the left first, and
then slide the spring-loaded PCB holder into position and tighten the (A)
knob on the right.
2. Pull back on the spring-loaded board holder and insert the PCB.
3. Once the PCB is in place, loosening knob (C) will allow the entire PCB to
glide freely in the X-axis using the fine adjustment job (D). The PCB will
also slide freely in the Y-axis. Tighten knob (C) to lock the PCB in place.
NOTE:
If profiling a PCB/Component and when using thermocouple(s), attach
the thermocouple(s) to the desired position on the PCB and plug them into the

N. Maintenance
The TF 1000 is designed to be basically maintenance free. However, the Top
Heater and consumable parts may need to be changed from time to time.
1. The Vacuum filter should be cleaned every three months. Remove the
cover on the side of the TF 1000 as shown below. Remove the filter from
the filter assembly and clean with mild soap and water. Let the filter dry
completely before reassembling.
2. The Top Heater is easily replaced. Unplug the TF 1000 from the power
source. Ensure the heater is cool. Remove the heater protection cover
and remove the four screws that retain the heater assembly. Pull the
heater assembly downwards to remove it from the socket and install the
new heater. Install the four retaining screws and the protection cover.
