For many years now, globalPoint GmbH based in Heiligenhafen has been developing and distributing intelligent systems for temperature profile determination in soldering systems. After foundation in 1999 by Christian John, the enterprise in Schleswig-Holstein quickly gained a foothold in electronic production and has been active for the complete world market for some time. The basis of globalPoint’s success is profound knowledge in precise measurement technology combined with a deep understanding of the natural science foundations in the soft soldering processes. For this, the PTP® software of globalPoint contains an optimisation tool which enables system operators with less experience to guarantee the profile sequences prescribed by standards, soldering pastes and components on a lasting basis. Some years ago, Ersa had a specific shuttle developed by globalPoint and has successfully sold it under its own brand name.
