Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing the TF 2000 BGA/CSP Rework Station. As electronic devices continue to get smaller, lighter and more compact, components and printed circuit boards are also becoming smaller and the amount of available space on PCBs is continually decreasing. In order to maximize board space, area array devices are growing in popularity. Area array devices are BGAs, CSPs and “micro-BGAs”, and Flip Chips. These devices require an optical overlay vision system to ensure proper placement and high levels of process control during rework to ensure successful installation. The TF 2000 has been specifically designed to rework these types of components and can also install and remove a variety of other SMT devices.

NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The TF 2000 also complies with 98/37/EC and 89/336/EEC.

Caution: During normal operation, the top heater, nozzle, bottom- side-heater(s) and halogen lamps will get hot. Do not contact them directly as serious injury could occur.

Features

1. The TF 2000 System is comprised of three self-contained stations:

The Reflow Station (Model TF 2000R)

The Placement Station (Model TF 2000P), and

The Base/Pre-Heater Station (Models TF 2000B, TF 2000BE, TF

2000BL, or TF 2000BLE)

Each individual station is lightweight and compact, allowing for easy set-up and portability.

2.Up to 40 reflow profiles can be stored by the TF 2000. 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.The Placement Station can easily handle components up to 70 mm square. If needed, a split screen function is available through the optional software package.

5.A highly efficient, 1000-watt topside heater used in conjunction with a truly unique nozzle design insures the uniformity of the temperature across the assembly.

6.The ceramic panel bottom side heater with a wide heating area is incorporated to insure the co-planarity of the PCB, to prevent warping, and to enhance the reflow of large BGAs.

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 2000 is versatile, adaptable and ensures repeatable results.

2 OPERATION

2-1 Before Operating

Make sure the TF 2000 is on a stable platform

It is recommended that the TF 2000 be turned on for at least 15 minutes before use to ensure the Bottom Side heater has reached its set temperature and stabilized. Once the bottom-side heater is at temperature it will deliver consistent heating, ensuring highly repeatable heating from operation to operation.

It is advisable to conduct a trial operation each day to ensure all systems are operating properly. Also, it is important to verify the airflow of the unit: Maximum airflow is 25 l/min and Minimum airflow is 18 l/min.

Verify that the devices/parts being soldered to the PCB do not exceed the height limitations. Exceeding the limitations may interfere with the operation of the machine.

1.The maximum height of any component or device on the top of the PCB is limited to 30 mm (1.2”).

2.The maximum height of any component or device on the bottom of the PCB is limited to 15 mm (0.6”).

2-2 General Operating Procedure

1. Insert PCB into Board Holder. See Figure 4.

BOARD HOLDER

Figure 4: Board Holder and PCB

2.Apply flux or solder paste: One of the following methods is applicable depending on the rework conditions, the specification of

Device/PCB, or operator preference.

A)Dispense flux on the land pattern using a brush or flux pencil.

B)Apply solder paste to the land pattern using a conventional stenciling technique

C)Apply paste or flux to the BGA, solder ball side, by means of a flux application tool. See Reference Section.

Page 13 of 67

D)Print paste on the BGA, solder ball side, by using a component stenciling tool kit. See Reference Section.

Note: Method 2 must be completed prior to insertion of PCB into board holder and methods 3 and 4 apply flux/paste to the underside of the component, not the PCB. They should be performed before placing component with vacuum pick on TF 2000P.

3.Activate vacuum on TF 2000P and pick up component using vacuum nozzle on placement station.

Figure 5: Component held by Vacuum Pick on TF 2000P

3.Extend the optical housing by pulling the handle towards you. The lights will come on automatically.

4.Focus the array pattern on the PCB by focusing manually or by using the AUTO FOCUS feature. When using the AUTO FOCUS feature, switch the feature off after the array pattern has been focused.

5.Center the PCB array pattern on the Display. Zooming in on the array allows for easier centering.

Page 17 of 67

6.Tighten the setscrews (#1 & 5, Fig. 9) to secure the “Y” position of the PCB.

7.Tighten the setscrew (#3, Fig. 9) on the sliding shaft holder (#9, Fig.

9) to secure ”X” position of the PCB.

8.Switch on the vacuum switch (#7, Fig. 6).

9.Hold the component to be placed using the vacuum nozzle. See

Figure 7.

10.Adjust the lighting using the adjustment knobs (#1 & 2 Fig 5) so the image of the PCB land pattern and the image of the solder balls on the component can be seen clearly.

11.Adjust the height of the device with the height (Z-axis) adjusting screw (#4 Fig 5) to bring solder balls/leads into focus. Failure to focus the component may result in inaccurate alignment.

12.Turn the “AUTO-FOCUS” feature on after the PCB and component are focused.

13.Adjust θ aspect of the component by turning the θ adjustment knob (#3, Fig. 6).

14.Adjust the X and Y aspects of the component by adjusting the X and Y adjustment knobs (#5 & 6, Fig. 6).

15.When the component is aligned (See Figure 7), return the optics housing to its retracted position. The lights will turn off automatically.

16.Using the handle, lift the alignment apparatus upwards by hand to release, then lower the apparatus slowly. As the apparatus reaches the PCB, the damper will engage to ensure the component lands softly on the PCB.

NOTE: The alignment apparatus cannot be lowered while the optics housing is extended.

DO NOT DROP THE ALIGNMENT APPARATUS FROM THE UPPER POSITION.

NOTE: When repeating operations using the same PCB and device, steps 4 and 11 may be eliminated. However, when changing devices, it is important to include steps 4 and 11 in the initial setup procedure.

3)Confirm that the component has contacted the PCB. Turn off the vacuum switch (#7, Fig 6).

When repeating operations using the same PCB and device, the mechanical stop on the right side of the alignment apparatus may be set to ensure repeatability.

4)Return the alignment apparatus to its original position.

Page 18 of 67

19)Move the sliding shaft holder to the Reflow Position using the handle.

NOTE: For TF 2000L/LE models, refer to the Sliding Shaft Holder Indexing portion of Section 10 for a description of model differences.

3-3 Component Reflow - Please refer to Figure 10

1)Make sure that an appropriately sized nozzle is fitted to the reflow head.

2)Verify the sliding shaft holder is at the Reflow Position at the far left side of the base

3)Select a profile or enter reflow parameters. Refer to section 4.

Figure 10: Operations Panel

4)Push the NOZZLE DOWN button. The nozzle will go down and stop automatically 16 mm (will vary with PCB thickness) above the PCB. See Figure 10.

5)Confirm that the component position is aligned with the nozzle.

Press and hold the NOZZLE DOWN button. The reflow head will lower itself, slowly. Lower the reflow head until there is no gap between the nozzle and the PCB. See Figure 11. If you need to raise the reflow head up by a slight amount, press the NOZZLE UP button briefly.

When repeating operations using the same PCB and device, the mechanical stop on the left side of the reflow apparatus may be set to ensure repeatability.

The reflow head has a clutch that will engage if the nozzle applies pressure on the PCB or the mechanical stop. This ensures the safety of the PCB and the motor that drives the reflow head.

NOTE: In some instances the space around a component will be insufficient to bring the nozzle into contact with the PCB. Should this occur, select a nozzle with dimensions that

Page 19 of 67

are similar to the component body. For reflow, position the nozzle 1 mm above the component. The time of the reflow cycle may have to be adjusted to insure satisfactory results. A thermo-couple should be used to verify reflow conditions.

Figure 11: Properly Positioned Nozzle in Relation to PCB

6)When the nozzle is properly positioned, press the CYCLE START button. The PREHEAT LED on the Phase Display Panel will light and the reflow cycle will begin.

7)The Phase Display Panel (See Figure 8) will indicate the phase of the reflow cycle (PREHEAT, SOAK, REFLOW and COOLDOWN) and the time for each phase will be counted down on the LCD

Display. An audible alarm will sound seven (7) seconds before the end of the reflow phase.

8)When the reflow cycle is complete, the nozzle will automatically raise and the COOLING FAN will turn on, cooling the soldered component, PCB and nozzle.

9)Do not remove the PCB from the board holder until the COOLING LED has gone off and the OFF LED is lighted.

3-4 Adjusting Airflow

1)The knob on the air flow meter adjusts the air flow. Make sure to match the air flow meter value with the value of FLOW on the LCD Display. The actual air flow will not be changed by the flow value of the display panel.

3-5 Component Removal

1)Component removal is accomplished in the same way as the reflow.

2)When the audible alarm signals 7 seconds before the end of the reflow phase, push the VACUUM button to turn on the vacuum pump.

3)Once the reflow head raises up, remove the component by using the hand held vacuum pick.

4)It is possible to shorten the profile for removals.
