Abstract

See full text

An example method of calibrating the operation of soldering apparatus for use in a soldering machine, in which the soldering apparatus includes at least one nozzle which is configured to apply solder to an electronics board, in use, involves: providing machine settings to the soldering apparatus, the machine settings including a nozzle target calibration position and at least one solder setting for the at least one nozzle; positioning the at least one nozzle according to the nozzle target calibration position; pumping solder from the at least one nozzle according to the at least one solder setting, when the at least one nozzle is positioned according to the target calibration position; obtaining at least one image of the soldering apparatus when the at least one nozzle is positioned according to the nozzle target calibration position; determining, from the at least one image, at least one nozzle characteristic; and adjusting the machine settings to reduce a difference between the at least one nozzle characteristic determined from the at least one image, and a corresponding expected at least one nozzle characteristic.
