I. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL OVERVIEW
Thank you for your purchase of an APR-5000 Array Package Rework System. Each unit
has been inspected thoroughly by OK International prior to shipment, and with proper
maintenance will give you years of reliable performance.
This Operator’s Instruction Manual is a valuable resource. It explains the systems
options, features, specifications and the correct operation of your APR-5000 Array
Package Rework System. If any problems should occur during setup or operation of
your system, contact OK International’s Technical Service or you may also contact your
local Representative. www.okinternational.com
APR-5000 Array Package Rework System provides both accurate component
placement and specifically tailored reflow profiles (through OK International patented
single component Micro Oven™) in one user friendly, single platform rework system.
The challenges of Array Package Rework, and the inability to easily inspect placement
accuracy (with BGAs in particular), call for a solution that allows for simultaneous
viewing of PC board pads and component pads or balls for accurate placement. The
APR-5000 fills this need with quick, accurate placement through the use of an optical
system employing dual image overlay technology. The image of the BGA solder balls is
overlaid with that of the PC board pattern. The image is viewed on the computer monitor
then the micrometers permit fine X, Y and theta adjustment at up to 27X magnification.
Finally, the part is placed and the vacuum is released automatically.
- 7 -
When operating this equipment, please exercise caution. If this unit is used in
a manner, which it is not intended for, serious personal injury may occur.
Please read this operators manual thoroughly prior to use.
After accurate component placement is achieved, the vacuum pickup tube is
automatically retracted and the reflow nozzle is lowered into place. At this point, the
component is subjected to a 5 zone, full convection reflow profile, specifically tailored to
the requirements of that particular PCB, device and solder paste. Accurate duplication
of original oven reflow parameters is achieved.
During the course of the reflow profile, source temperatures and time intervals can be
modified “On the Fly”, eliminating the need to wait for the current profile to terminate
before modifications can be made. Precise solder joint temperatures are measured and
displayed on a real time graphical display, thus providing the necessary data to
accurately and easily establish the optimum reflow profile for each particular application
within minutes.

VIII. SITE PREPARATION
Solder Removal:
Prepare the site to receive a new component by removing all of the residual solder. This
can be accomplished by using an MX-500 Series Rework System with blade cartridge
assembly. Employing OK International Smart Heat™ Technology into your rework
process will virtually eliminate the potential of accidentally removing any pads when
removing residual solder. This is because OK International patented Smart Heat™
technology ensures that tip temperature is constantly maintained, regardless of the
- 39 -
thermal demand of the assembly that is being reworked. For more information on OK
International Smart Heat™ Technology, please contact your local OK International
representative or visit www.okinternational.com for more information.
The following blade style tips are available for the MX-500 Series Rework System:
SMTC-x60 (.410” length) SMTC-x62 (.870” length)
SMTC-x61 (.620” length) SMTC-x110 (1.55” length)
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 utilize a vacuum desoldering system such as the SP-440 Self-
Contained Desoldering System or MX-500DS Shop-Air Desolder / Solder Rework
System to vacuum residual solder from the PCB.
NOTE ON CLEANING:
Although isopropyl rubbing alcohol and cotton swab work satisfactory for removing flux
residue, it is strongly recommended you contact your solder paste manufacturer for
recommendations for cleaning the residue left by their products.
SOLDER PASTE DEPOSITION and FLUX APPLICATION
Component Stenciling Templates
The application of new solder paste or flux directly to the component’s solder balls can
be accomplished with OK International Component Stenciling Templates. The templates
allow the precise application of solder paste without concern for surrounding parts on
your PCB. Since the component is pasted rather than the board, operators find this to
be a much faster and simpler solution. Please contact your local representative for
information and availability. Custom sizes and styles are available.
Solder Paste Application using the Component Stenciling Templates:
1. Select the correct solder paste plate for your component and application.
2. Position the component onto the component side of the plate (the side with the
smaller cut out or etched component corners.)
3. Secure the component with the supplied clamp assembly. Please be careful not
to over-tighten the clamp as this can cause the plate to bend which will affect
print quality.
4. Apply solder paste to the solder balls using the supplied spatula. When printing,
make sure the stencil face remains clean after your print, this ensures correct
solder paste volume.
5. Carefully remove the component clamp assembly and position the solder paste
plate onto the component pick up plate aligning it with the two tooling pins.
6. Using the vacuum pipette lift the component from the solder paste plate and
continue with your alignment process.

Dip Transfer Plates
The application of high viscosity paste flux can be accomplished with OK International
Dip Transfer Plates. These plates allow for a simple, controlled application of paste flux
to the solder balls of your BGA or CSP component. They are available in many sizes
and depths. Please contact your local representative for information and availability.
Custom sizes and configurations are available.
OK International has pioneered the application of high viscosity paste flux using
specialized fixtures to ensure consistent repeatable results.
1. Select the Dip Transfer Plate that meets your components requirements for size
and depth.
2. Using the supplied spatula fill the cavity with paste flux. Use the spatula to
smooth the flux level with the sides of the transfer plate. This ensures a
repeatable deposit.
3. Place your component into the component pick up plate and pick it up with the
vacuum pipette.
4. Using the micrometers, align the component in the X, Y and Theta axes.
5. Remove the adjustable component fixture and replace it with the flux transfer
plate.
6. Slide the prism into the placement arm, this unlocks the Z-axis arm and allows
you to rotate the knob to dip the component into the flux. Slide the flux transfer
plate towards the placement arm to the component pick-up position.
7. Follow the screen prompts to lower the component into the flux transfer plate so
the solder balls contact the bottom plate of the flux transfer plate. Depress the “Z”
axis “UP” buttons to return the component to the focus position.
8. Remove the component pick up plate and inspect the impression left in the flux to
ensure all the solder balls have been coated.
9. Check component alignment and adjust as required.
10. Follow the screen prompts, push in the camera and click next.
11. Place the component as directed by the screen prompts, and continue with the
placement process that you have selected.
