Offline teaching program II software has an XML data structure that enables a bidirectional data exchange; taking solder programs out of the offline teaching program and into the machine and vice versa is possible without further conversions. Differences between the original solder program and the program stored in the machine control system can be displayed automatically. Can process image data from cameras and scans. Automatically eliminates common picture distortions. Offers globally storing periodical process parameters for use with particular solder points or soldering passages when developing new solder programs. After teaching all solder points, the program computes the fastest way to minimize handling. This prospectively computed cycle time is displayed directly.

NL932 no-clean, Pb-free, halide-free solder paste is said to feature good solderability, improves stencil life, and provide superior cosmetics, especially when using SN100C. Offers print consistency with high process capability index across all board designs. Provides print release down to 0.55 SAR when used with the Slic Stencil. Features excellent wetting on OSP, NiAu, NiPdAu, SN100C and HAL. Displays repeatability and consistency in a wide range of temperatures (65°-85°F) and relative humidity (25-65% RH). Reportedly stencil prints at up to 200 mm/sec.; voiding exceeds IPC Class III.
