If the goal is selective soldering (not to raise the substrate temperature too high), consider the use of microwaves. Our company has been working on this technology for selectively bonding substrates. For example, we use the process to bond ROHS met

Yes, PROMATION has customer's using laser to solder PCBs. This is too broad of a forum to discuss openly so please feel free to write me at: Gary_Goldberg@pro-mation-inc.com Perhaps I can assist Gary

Is anyone using a laser to selectively solder components to a board? I'm just starting to research selective soldering methods for the company i work for as we're looking to replace our current hand soldering processes for lead- and lead free- produ

Well, there seems to be many opinions, many of which could be correct, however... With the proper laser they can be quite good for soldering. Here are a few guidelines I would like to suggest. 1) Have your product soldered first (by the vendor) 2) T

Why not use tooling pins (locating pins)? Sounds like the same accuracy...

We have a Yamaha GEM and the laser will not recognise components. The laser has been changed in the past by another engineer, but this failed to rectify the problem. Can anyone advise how to test the laser or use some machine diagnostics so that I

Many years ago I remember the Philips CSM series SMT machines used a small tubular laser system for identifying fiducials on the PCB. Can anyone suggest suppliers for these devices. Thanks.

we are considering laser marking all boards in a panel with a unique identifier that will eventually tie in all the component data used on the board. We were wondering what numbering schemes are used in our industry other than a unique MSN (manufactu

We've been using lasers to mark barcodes on our boards for some time now. We use a CO2 laser to burn through the solder mask on most of our boards. The machine is enclosed so the operators aren't exposed to the laser. The laser is also mounted on

If it's metal to metal, use the flame. Laser has a lot of quirks to it.
