Selective solder machines...Google it and look at the ads. Almost every one talks about how they make fixtures unnecessary. That is good news when you are planning to buy one.
But the reality of the situation is this. Dedicated tooling provides many benefits even to this process. For example, situations where a fixture can speed your throughput by running multiple boards in a single load. Or how about the ability to accurately and repeatedly locate an odd shaped board? What if you have components overhanging the edge of the board or if the component needs to be held down or positioned accurately? Not to mention the overall reliability and repeatability that the stable platform brings to the process.
These are just a few examples of the types of situations you all face every single day. You probably have better examples.
