Intriguing.

For BGA chips it's necessary to use both at the same time:
IR pre-heater to heat-up the PCB from the bottom and hotair on the IC to melt the solder joints.
And to control PCB/IC temperature at the same time.
All the theory you can find on youtube/google.
My IR equipment is really low-cost/hand made solution.
Hotair is cheap stuff from China.
Nothing exciting really...
I know that real rework station will cost 5kEUR and more, but it's far beyond my budget as I'm just hobbyist.
