Abstract
Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for monitoring a flux application in a soldering process. An example includes: defining flux wetting surfaces in relation to an image of an application surface; generating a thermographic recording of the application surface selectively provided with liquid flux; defining adjustment points on the application surface which can be identified on the image and on the thermographic recording; superimposing the image and the thermographic recording on the basis of the adjustment points; and comparing the position of temperature anomalies on the application surface identified by the thermographic recording with the position of the flux wetting surfaces on the image.
