Selective soldering system
High-mix, low volume soldering
Client:
Vitronics Soltec b.v., Oosterhout.
Challenge:
Developing and realisation of a selective solder product family,
the 6745.
Our method:
Integral design of the entire product family has been the focus of
attention during the project. The full option variant consists of a
flux, a heater and a solder station. A 0-10deg option makes it
possible to solder the PCB underneath a corner. A 0-90deg option
makes it possible to let the PCB rotate around its axis. In order
to make this possible within such limited space, we have optimised
a machine lay-out amd onderzocht various concepts for the handling
modules. Heart of the machine is an innovative XYZ set up with a
very limited overall size. In total 20 modules have been designed
with which the 6745 has become a complete Assembly-to-order product
family which can deal with any demand from the market. An optimal
chain ensures a short turnround time.
Result:
Our policy realised a complete implementation of the product family
in the business process of Vitronics Soltec. From technical
construction records and realisation/testing of the proto to
supplier’s selection and support with the assembly of the first
series. Expected lot size: 150 per year.
