The Robotic Soldering, Inspection & Defect Guide is the latest free process guide produced by Bob Willis. If you would like to contribute to this 30-40 page colour eBook, contact us for information on how you can participate and raise money for charity
The eBook is based on our experience from our first project using robotic soldering in 2018 and a special NPL Good Practice Guide with Dr Chris Hunt using high temperature alloys. In the NPL project we included both contact and laser soldering robots. The authors most recent activity has been with low temperature lead-free cored wire and standard SAC wire on a special test board designed for the original 2021 Robotic Soldering Experience
The eBook will feature the following subjects:
Introduction
