Seica Issues a New Software Release for the FireFly PDF Print E-mail
 

Posted by Jade Po Kellard on 21 July 2008 at 06:00

Seica FIREFLYSeica has announced the release of a powerful, new software update for the FireFly laser-based selective soldering system. The package includes a completely new automatic development environment, which drastically reduces the program preparation time for soldering printed circuit boards (PCB). Improved algorithms and faster loop control, enables automatic management of PCB characteristics, and environmental factors which result in higher soldering stability and quality.

The unique and precise X-Y-Z control of the laser head, born from Seica’s extensive experience in the development of Flying Probe test systems, enables the Firefly to precisely control the position of the laser beam even rotating it 180 degrees around the pin or joint to be soldered.  Included in the standard features of the FireFly is its ability to recognize fiducial points and compensate for board warpage.
