Abstract
Apparatus and methods for applying atomized pulsed streams of flux to a surface such as a printed circuit board. The flux is applied discretely in selected locations and at selected thickness based upon pulse rate, fluid pressure, air pressure and traverse speed. The apparatus consists of a precise orifice with a surrounding air passage for atomizing and focusing the flux at a discrete location on the surface. Controls are incorporated for selecting, controlling and monitoring the flux deposition amount and location, for coordinating with the transport motion system, for integrating with the adjacent air flow and for selecting the atomized or non-atomized method of application.
