I. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL OVERVIEW Thank you for your purchase of a Metcal BGA/CSP-3500 Series Rework System. Each unit has been inspected thoroughly by Metcal prior to shipment and, with proper maintenance, will give you years of reliable performance.
After accurate component placement, the board holder is unlocked and transferred to underneath the Micro Oven™. Here, the BGA or Surface Mount Device is subjected to a 4 zone, full convection reflow profile, specifically tailored to the requirements of that particular PCB, device and solder paste. Accurate duplica- tion of original oven reflow parameters is achieved.
Main Unit Components - Figure 1 11. Open Frame adjustable printed circuit board holder. 12. Main Power Switch. 13. Subzone heater, heat/cool selector switch. 14. BGA-3528 Micro Oven Head Assembly 15. Z-Axis Adjustment Lever – Rotating Clockwise will raise the head assembly, while rotating counter clockwise will lower the head assembly.

10. Remove the V Block and replace it with the height reference block so that the block sits on the bare component slide. With the Z-Axis knob rotated fully clockwise and the component lifted to it’s top posi- tion, rotate the component height adjustment knob (Fine Z-Axis knob located on top of the vacuum head assembly) so that the component’s legs or balls are barely in contact with the height adjustment block.

14. With the component placed onto PCB, the vacuum will automatically deactivate when the vacuum head senses pressure produced by the component contacting the PCB. If you are controlling the vacuum by the foot switch, you can deactivate the vacuum by depressing the foot switch. 15.

Please note that “x” denotes tip temperature. All cartridges are available in 500, 600 and 700 series styles. (5 = 500°F, 0=600°F and 1=700°F) As an option you can use a vacuum desoldering system such as the Metcal SP440 Self-Contained or MX- 500DS Shop-Air Desolder/Solder Rework System to vacuum residual solder from the PCB.
Page 18
SOLDER PASTE DEPOSITION: The application of new solder paste can be accomplished with the optional Metcal micro stencils and sup- plied stencil adapter or with the optional solder paste plates. Please consult your local Metcal representa- tive for the latest catalog of standard stencils and solder paste plates.

Application Note On Using The Optional BGA-NA For SMT Rework The optional BGA-NA Nozzle Adapter allows the BGA/CSP-3500 to use Metcal’s range of FCR/MTR Nozzles for SMT applications, as well as custom designed SMT nozzles to accommodate virtually any component.
Metcal. Custom nozzles are also available upon request. VII. TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides basic suggestions to assist with problems that might be encountered with your BGA/CSP-3500. If you are in need of any additional assistance, contact your local Metcal Representative, or email us at experts@metcal.com. Placement Assembly 1.

2. Problem: Image of pad pattern and PCB appears to be on at angle. Check: • Is the camera on an angle? Possible Solution • With a .050” hex key or jewelers screwdriver, loosen the camera setscrews located on the camera body near the lens connector.
Page 22
6. Problem: The component slide and / or prism assembly seem to be “locked up” or restricted. Probable Cause: • The transportation screws are not fully loosened, resulting in the inability of the component slide and / or prism assembly to move freely. Solution: •...
4. Problem: Operator cannot remember security code and is locked out of the BGA System. Solution: • Contact your local Metcal representative or Metcal Applications Engineering for instructions on overriding and entering a new security code. 5. Problem: When operating with a CSP nozzle in the Placement mode an error “BGA Head Hot” is dis- played on the computer.

THE PROFILE The concept of the profile: A profile is the relationship between the temperature and time for a given placement or removal process. The profile is broken into four components known as the Preheat zone, soak zone, peak zone, and cool zone. Each zone has user definable temperature and time settings allowing the user to create a profile for almost any removal or placement process.
Page 29
Open a profile stored in BGA module: Select File from menu, select Open and choose Module Profile. Select a profile from the list on the pop up dialog window and click OK. The dialog window of the module profile selection First, click here to select either Place Mode or Remove Mode.
Page 30
CONTROL PANEL All essential functions for the BGA unit can be run from two control panels. One control panel processes the Module Profile (profiles stored in the BGA-3000 module) and the other the Library Profile (profiles stored on the selected floppy or hard drive of computer).
Page 31
THE GRAPHICS DISPLAY WINDOW The graphics display window illustrates the temperature, time settings and actual values for the profile. The vertical bars represent temperature and the horizontal bars represent the process time. The bars can be moved vertically or horizontally to change the temperature or time settings of the profile by simply clicking on the vertical or horizontal bars and dragging them.
Page 32
CURVES Copy curves: To copy a temperature curve from one graphics file to another requires opening a source graphics display window and a destination graphics display window prior to copying curve (s). Highlight the graphic window and choose Edit from the menu Select Copy Curve and choose the name of the curve to be copied.
Page 33
TIME MEASUREMENT BARS To move time measurement bars: Move the mouse pointer to the top of the time measurement bar, press and hold the left button of the mouse (A black mark representing the timer will appear on the bottom of the bar). Drag the bar by moving the mouse horizontally and release the left button when the bar reaches the desired time setting.
Page 34
THE SETTINGS OF THE PROFILE How to change settings of the profile: On a profile window, click on a text cell and enter settings on that cell. Click on Update after all cells have the correct settings. On a graphics window, move the mouse pointer to the top of the horizontal bar that represents the settings of the profile. Press and hold the left button of the mouse and two black marks will appear on the time axis and the temperature axis.

FACTORY CALIBRATION The calibration procedure below describes how to adjust the five major components of the fine pitch placer. THE FIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE: Vision Splitter (mirror) adjustment Beam Splitter (mirrored cube) adjustment Vision Assembly adjustment Magnification adjustment Lamp Position adjustment MATERIAL REQUIRED: PCB Blank, such as OK Ind.

BEAM SPLITTER (MIRRORED CUBE) ADJUSTMENT Move the Vacuum Head Assembly to the top position and install size 0.4 Vacuum Cup (P/N 19790) onto the vacuum tube. (See DWG # 5 below.) DWG # 5 VACUUM PICKUP HEAD ASSEMBLY Turn the Z adjustment knob counterclockwise completely. (Vacuum Tube should be at its maximum length.) Turn Z adjustment knob clockwise, making approximately 1/2 turn.

Observe position of the screen splitting line on the screen. If the line does not run through the center of the marks or while zooming in and out the screen splitting line moves, perform steps a-f. DWG # 8 Loosen mounting block screws. Loosen pivot screw making 2 turns counterclockwise.
Page 47
DWG # 10 BROKEN DIAGONAL LINE Loosen the top mounting screw. Use 3/32” hex wrench. (See DWG # 11) Turn the supporting screw in or out until the diagonal line aligns itself. Tighten the top mounting screw. DWG # 11 MAGNIFICATION ADJUSTMENT Images of the two patterns, from the top and bottom plates, should be magnified to the same size, distances, L1 and L2.
Page 48
Turn the zoom ring fully counterclockwise. Move the split vision adjustment knob to see the 4 marks. While turning the head assembly knob clockwise to exert a slight upward pressure, turn the top Z-adjuster set screw (Use 0.05” hex wrench) in or out until the distances L1 and L2 are equal. (See DWG # 12A).The vacuum head assembly should be in the top position.
