It is my understanding that the Horizontal HASL (versus Vertical) equipment is better suited to SMT Fine pitch devices. Is this a misnomer on my part. Currently our manufacturing people have this belief and I'm looking to confirm this or have it questioned. I further understand that it is possible that PhotoCircuits may have done some test in this area and maybe would be able to share their conclusions. Thank you in advance for the help.
