Hi

pick place only put component "new" pcb it work this way

1-) put solder past into pcb whit stencil printer ,PCB need to be flat so no component on it
2-) pick place put component at right position on the pcb
3-) reflow oven melt solder past so it solder whole board at once

for start-up i sujest to have only reflow and stencil printer so you put part by hand into the solder past
this was much faster that solder it by hand then once you skilled whit this technique you may buy
pick place for speed up thing

a rework station will remove and replace a component on a already assembled board
but it made for "repair" not for assembly it also very expensive for a good one

oo ic, can you recommend a handy and good work station? is there any work station that can work automatically for all the process?(just for reference though 'coz i know it will be to much pricey :( ...) and my main purpose is to repair a board and make one :) hehe
