I have seen point-to-point soldering iron tip robots in action at a number of factories. The problem is repeatability at delivering good solder joints. Consider a small selective solder machine, the nozzle type: www.ace-protech.com www.air-vac-eng.c

We are a PCB design house/CM and we have found that if you elongate the QFN pads to the outside of the part by .025 to .030 you then have the opportunity of doing touch-up manually with a soldering iron should there be a voiding issue. This would hav

And this relates to robots soldering? You need > to remove yourself sirl. Hello, we do have some experience with a solder-iron robot. Tried several types and brands. Now we have 2 very good robots, works perfect, the type of robot and solderwire

Hi all, I am new to SMT. In past I've made many PCB boards with my small hands at home, but I've used regular technology drilling the holes for the components. I am trying to use SMT for my projects. SOP packages I was able to solder using a regular

I agree that wave soldering is probably your best method. Of course if you can, tin the wires in a solder pot before insertion into the board. The solder that would be there will probably facilitate wetting a bit better. If you absolutely have to

Solder iron robots tend to miss solder joints from time to time. The wire feeder systems are the key to these machines. Most use the edge of the board for alignment is another reason they miss. If you have SMD close to the thru-hole, the robot may

Hello, we are a subcontractor firm, because we get all kind of designs, most of the times, our selective soldering machine, had its limitations, a lot of designers don't think about selective soldering design rules, Yes, selective soldering is fas

Robot soldering has never really worked well and if you are looking for any volume or repeatability, you may be disappointed! Even though you are using a robot, you are still soldering with an iron and wire solder. This process cant guaranty the be

I was asked to try and find us some good Lead-Free soldering Irons, I know all Irons are "LEAD FREE" I mean I need to know if anyone has any recomendations for an Iron with really good recovery time, that is higher heat capable. For a price that isn'

I would recommend you take a look at JBC if you are looking for a "good" soldering iron to work with lead free solder. Find the attached comparative graphs and before anybody asks. Yes, I am affiliated with JBC.
