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- products. At the moment i don't think a mini-wave would be suitable for our application due to the need to apply the solder on the top side of the board.
An idea of the price for this kind of equipment would be appreciated, and any process limitations that people may have encountered or know of.
Many thanks......
