Starting in September, Vitronics Soltec will have planned a schedule for its 3rd European seminar tour on lead-free soldering. This event is designed to help the industry accelerate their conversion efforts in order to be ready and compliant on time. The tour is based on the popular “5 Steps to Lead-Free Soldering” program (free multi-media CD in EPP Europe # 5/6 and 7/8), to include the latest findings, and addresses the automated soldering process. The program consists of daylong seminars in selected cities.
