Chris, could you tell me which brand of selective soldering machine you are using? We are looking at some machines at this time and I would like to which vendor has the best support. I have looked at RPS/TYCO and Vitronics.

ERSA makes a good machine, but there is maybe 20 suppliers of selective soldering machines. Some labels that come to mind are: * ERSA * Pillarhouse * RPS * Seho * Vitronics * Novastar There's probably more that you should be thinking about, but othe

From what I remember it was pretty easy/straightforward. I'd grab an image of the bottom side of the panel from our AOI, scale it, and load it into the offline programming suite. Program flux and solder paths, then iron out the kinks online during th
