Selective soldering system offers maximum control, speed and integration
30 January 2002Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Vitronics Soltec's selective soldering system is a flexible, fast and reproducible automated soldering system that sets a new standard combining both flexibility and speed. Selective soldering delivers high throughput with high quality in batch or inline production. It offers fully modular set-up, allowing for easy and quick upgrades in the field, and its robust, flexible platform offers a wide variety of modules that can be easily added and interchanged based on a plug-and-play principle.
Selective soldering's X-Y robotic system offers full process flexibility and high throughput via its 'smart' subsystem set-up. Flexible SecureGrip systems in combination with a programmable MultiFlux minimise the need for customised tooling and applications. Multiple preheat zones address the need for higher preheat requirements without impacting cycle times. Combined MultiWave soldering and SelectWave soldering provides optimum balance between high throughput and full flexibility. Like other Vitronics Soltec soldering systems, it is engineered to provide a high degree of flexibility for minimal downtime, easy maintenance, low cost of ownership, and quick and easy reconfigurability.
Selective soldering consists of two soldering stations - SelectWave and MultiWave - that can be configured four different ways.
The SelectWave is equipped with a single solder nozzle blanketed by a constant flow of nitrogen, which virtually eliminates maintenance and ensures a stable, clean solder wave.
The MultiWave's flexible nitrogen configuration eliminates the need to change nitrogen solutions when changing applications. The MultiWave's lifting unit eases changeover between applications, eliminating the need to perform changeover under the solder level. A patented system improves heat transfer during MultiWave soldering and allows the smallest possible distances between the component to be soldered and adjacent components.
The Windows 2000 graphical user interface ensures a stable, network capable and user-friendly working environment.

A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
