It seems to me like you could just use an ordinary syringe in the Z-axis. Then increment a stepper motor to depress the syringe however many steps it takes to place an appropriate sized drop of solder on the board. You shouldn't need to mess with pressurized air or vacuums. Paul Symansky Biology A&S 2009 954.478.7285 http://www.symtechlabs.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
