An In-Depth look at Laser Soldering Sponsored by:      Webcast: An In-Depth look at Laser Soldering Date: March 6, 2007, 1:00pm EST, 60 minutes Speakers: John Vivari, EFD Inc. Jerry Zybko, Leister Technologies On-Demand Viewing               Overview With the use of laser light for reflow having been established, all that remains is to apply it effectively. Each time a laser is activated it creates a consistent and specific amount of energy at a particular wavelength. Where technique comes in is in choosing where and for how long to apply that light along with the application of accessory equipment to optimize solder paste reflow. This presentation covers the specifics of how to determine which process choices are the right process choices based on the needs of your product to maximize yield and throughput.
