Apollo Seiko Recognized by Global Technology Awards for J-CAT Wave Solder Robot

Oct 28, 2024

Apollo Seiko is proud to announce that it has been honored with the prestigious 2024 Global Technology Award in the Wave Soldering category for its J-CAT Wave Induction Heating (IH) Soldering Robot. The award was announced at a Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024 ceremony during SMTA International.

The J-CAT Wave Solder Robot is the latest advancement in precision soldering, utilizing magnetic concentrating technology to introduce localized self-heating capabilities. This non-contact, induction heating system sets a new standard for soldering precision, dramatically improving accuracy and minimizing thermal damage to surrounding components.

The J-CAT Wave delivers fast, localized heating that significantly reduces soldering cycle times. Designed to handle applications with substantial heat sinks, this advanced system enhances production throughput, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments.

“Apollo Seiko has always been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in soldering technology,” said at Apollo Seiko. “Winning the 2024 Global Technology Award for our J-CAT Wave Solder Robot validates our efforts in providing high-quality, innovative soldering solutions.”

The J-CAT Wave Solder Robot's non-contact heating method also ensures consistently high-quality solder joints, reducing the risk of defects and contributing to enhanced product reliability. By minimizing thermal damage and defects, the system delivers superior soldering results, meeting the stringent standards required in today’s manufacturing processes.

Since 2005, the prestigious Global Technology Awards have recognized the absolute best new innovations in the printed circuit assembly and packaging industries. It brings together the global SMT and advanced packaging industry in a celebration of the companies and people that are achieving the highest standards and driving our industry forward.
