Description:

The Wave Solder Machine is used to flux dip and tin the ends of small axial lead devices. It is microprocessor controlled and capable of a throughput of up to 12,000 units per hour.

Application:

Any application that requires components to be flux dipped and solder coated. This was designed for use with diodes but could easily be used with resistors or other axial-lead devices with leads that contain iron.

Design Highlights:

Uses magnets to levitate diodes from a hopper to a magnetic dip bar. The full dip bar is transferred to the input/output door and an empty dip bar is removed for filling. The finished diodes are deposited into a transport can that sits in a hotwater rinse bath.

Benefit:

Safely performs a hazardous task using caustic flux and molten solder. Runs continuously without stopping for anything other than solder and flux replentishment.
