This article will discuss the use of low melting point solder paste to solder temperature sensitive through hole components using the reflow process eliminating the need to wave or selective solder these parts.
Migrating from Hand Solder to Robotic Soldering
Soldering robots can run in a 24 / 7 environment. They do not take sick days, leave early or deliver poor and inconsistent results due to fatigue, eye strain and lack of concentration.
Evaluating Selective Soldering Systems
The continued use of selective soldering is increasing the development of entry-level selective soldering systems. While many entry-level systems are available in the marketplace, it should be kept in mind that you do not have to sacrifice machine quality as some entry-level selective soldering systems use the same core technologies as leading edge technology high-volume selective soldering systems.
