The GoSelective light standalone will now be referred to as GoSelective; GoSelective light inline is now called the SelectiveLine to express inline capability and highlight the modular concept, which permits upgrade of a fluxer and preheat modules. Are for high product mix. Feature precise axis system for exact positioning of various workstations, and are capable of handling bare boards or assemblies in carriers up to 500 x 500 mm. Are Pb-free capable. Come with fiducial recognition for automatic PCB alignment, process visualization, and offline teach program. SelectiveLine is for inline operation and may be upgraded individually. Covers three basic modules: the SelectiveLine soldering module, separate fluxer, and preheater; can be arranged individually or as a complete production line. Modules are controlled through a central SPC control unit with a CAN bus system. Drop jet fluxer control monitors fluxer nozzle function and measures flux quantity of each drop.
