Nebosukesays...It's like a chipjet printer... I suppose it all still needs to be soldered though?

Not sure, the tech manual mentions that solder paste is a consumable but doesn't mention specifically about soldering. The board might also pass over a wave solder tank further along the line.

It uses a solder paste that's basically screen printed (0:08 in the video) on the board before the components are placed.
The larger integrated chips seem to be mounted at the next machine (they require a different robot arm to do this) but at the end of the line it goes in a linear oven to melt the solder, couldn't be simpler.
Any large components are soldered after this in a wave solder tank or manually by hand.
