Process Comparison
| Process | Advantage | Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Wave | Simple, no separate soldering feeder necessary | Requests good amenability, limited qualified for SMD soldering |
| Solder Iron | Inexpensive | Pollution, difficult to does |
| Induction | High heat input | Requests good amenability |
| Micro flame | High heat input | Very high temperature, difficult to dose |
| IR-Radiator (Halogen) | Inexpensive, non contact | Large focal point, short working distance |
| Laser | Non contact, localized heat application, ability to solder heat sensitive components, individual parameter programming if necessary | Individual Point Processing |
