Although not written for point soldering (actuallly for designing or
assesing the possiblility of exclusion fixturing) the following article
might be of some help.

I would also be happy to look at any board design you have to check for
"wave solderability"

Subject: [TN] Design rules for automatic point soldering


Hi Technet,

For the design of some double sided reflow boards I'm trying to anticipate
on using a programmable point soldering machine in the future. This is for
the few leaded components that are still on these boards.
Could anybody give me some insight on how much free area is needed around
the leads ? Are there other special design rules that we should use ?
