MOVABLE SELECTIVE DEBRIDGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DEBRIDGING SOLDERED JOINTS ON PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS USING SAME

摘要

A debridging tool incorporated into an automated wave soldering system adjacent to and after a wave soldering station removes bridges and/or excess solder formed during the wave soldering process by emitting a pressurized stream of air, inert gas or other fluid only under selected areas of a printed circuit board, including a flexible circuit.
