With the introduction of the circuit board in the fifties, electronics manufacturers needed a more time efficient method of soldering and the first 'Wave Soldering System' was brought to the market. The introduction of mass soldering methods to the emerging electronics industry, laid the foundation for a future of innovative soldering equipment developments that is successfully continued today.
