I'm considering the Panasonic Soft Beam for soldering through hole parts, How well do they work ? , How much time does it take to solder 400 solder points ? Thanks, Steve

How to solder one zero ohm 0805 resistor to a PCB after it is mounted in it's plastic. The Panasonic "Soft Beam" would do it if money were not a factor. Is there a similar type of soldering station out there that may just bolt to an existing conveyor

We do have in stock a pair of Panasonic Soft Beam Selective solder systems which use light to solder. They are practically brand new and seem to be ideal for applications where one or a few connections need to be soldered. They are even pass thru m

Sure do. Spent a couple months with that group last winter trying to get the Soft Beam to solder a small connector board. It really depends on what you are trying to solder. The Soft Beam couldn't handle my job because our board was too small. No
