Selective soldering
- highly flexible mini wave selective soldering system
- production of small or even zero series reliable and with the highest quality possible
- used to assemble a circuit board with both SMD components and wired components
Selective soldering with clear advantages over hand soldering
If THT components are soldered by hand, it is hardly possible to reproduce the soldering process again and again. This can lead to large deviations. If the temperature is too low, there is no hole filling and the different metals on the board do not bond sufficiently with one another. If the temperature is too high, overheating and defects in the components are possible consequences. In addition, changes in temperature can lead to interruptions in the soldered connections. These risks do not exist with automatic selective soldering.
Selective soldering is often a better alternative
With selective soldering, the process can be precisely defined. Both the individual values of the x and y axes for each component as well as the temperature of the solder and the contact time can be specifically determined. The method can be implemented up to a distance of approximately 3 mm from adjacent components that are not to be soldered.
Although the programming effort for selective soldering is relatively time-consuming due to the determination of each individual solder point, the throughput time is shortened overall. The automated processes significantly reduce the error rate, which means that visual checks during selective soldering can be passed more quickly and corrections are usually not necessary afterwards. In this way, the process as a whole achieves a considerably higher quality at constant costs.
