With the widespread use of these devices, some CGA packages have become faulty. These faulty CGA packages need to be removed after board-level assembly. Rework benches are used for heated removal, which involves secondary remelting of internal and external solder joints. This results in the fault not recurring after disassembly, greatly increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0003] Domestic patent applications CN202510199984.9 and CN202511098196.7 have published methods for cutting solder posts used in CGA packaged devices. CN202510199984.9 describes cutting the solder posts to different lengths after drawing, while CN202511098196.7 describes automatically detecting and cutting the solder posts after drawing. Both applications involve length cutting during solder post production. However, none of the published patents address the issue of narrow horizontal spacing between CGA devices after board-level assembly due to obstacles above and below. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cold-cutting removal method and apparatus for CGA packaged devices to quickly remove board-level faulty CGA packaged devices and achieve precise fault location.
