Hi Eric,

check
http://www.vitronics-soltec.com/Vis/Vis_r5.nsf/technology!OpenFrameSet, then
processes/reflow. the link that pops-up an article is "lead-free reflow
soldering ".

Besides that, a couple of days ago I got mail from Vitronics, having inside
a CD called "5 steps to lead-free". The problem is I don't know why I got
it, was it me ordering it, probably through their website, or simply, a
courtesy from Vitronics? Mistery!

I think you could also contact Vitronics for this CD.

Regards,
Ioan
