Examples of applications Soldering techniques o SOLDERING & DISPENSING With the point to point selective soldering technique, very specific points to be soldered can be selected. Compared to soldering on defined areas, this enables a higher accuracy and the possibility of adapting the soldering parameters to the requirements of each individual point. As alternative to manual soldering, the point to point soldering automated solutions guarantee a high soldering quality as they are much more repeatable and reliable than working with soldering operators. The ability of the components to be soldered...
