This is our idea, but some people in the company is pushing to do the
operation manually.
We would like some technical information in order to demonstrate that the
manual touch up is a risk.

Why would anyone think that 100% touch up would be effective?

In my experience touch up is likely to cause more problems than it solves -
if you must do it and the application is that critical then I would say go
automatic as you will have direct control of soldering parameters

Subject: Manual Soldering vs. Automatic Soldering

Hello to All,
One product request a 100% touch up in several joints because of safety.
We are considering doing this process by manual soldering or using automatic
soldering (robot).
What are the advantage and disadvantage of both procedures?
Where can I find a comparison between them?
Is there any reliability issue in using manual soldering?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Alejandro Becerra
