Robotic Soldering
PAS wanted a method of soldering very critical components as well as assisting our operators, who have been hand-soldering these parts under heavy magnification.
This can cause fatigue and could result in quality issues as the day progresses. To resolve this, PAS procured a robot to take on this task
- The process begins by preheating the assemblies to be soldered
- They are then moved to the fixture, which is able to handle multiple assemblies.
- Here is the robot soldering a connector on a printed circuit board. The solder and flux are applied with the iron and flux tips at the component location with excellent wicking in the connector barrels.
- The solder tip is then air cleaned after each application and is ready for more action!
