Two elements of the automated soldering process, board-touch sensing and the soldering iron, have been combined into one, making the soldering iron tip the actual board-touch sensor. This "Sure Touch" technology is said to simplify the soldering process and ensure contact between the soldering iron and the solder joint. Reportedly, there is no need for special programming to accommodate variations in height of individual solder points.
