I recently visited a customer that was doing a lot of hand soldering. I always marvel at the variety of techniques and processes that are developed in an attempt to reduce variability and increase throughput for this very exacting work.
EXAMPLE: assembling connectors
Placing individual solder washers (sometimes quite small) can be very time consuming. It is also very easy to either place too many washers or not enough and not detect the problem before it comes back at rework.
Take a look at this video that shows the difference between placing individual solder preforms and InTEGRATED® Solder Preforms.
A single placement of an InTEGRATED® Solder Preform improves your throughput and accuracy in one motion. This goes directly to your bottom line.
