Automated Selective Soldering Machine - KISS 104
The KISS-104 is the completely automated "in-line" version of the KISS-103 handling boards up to 18" x 24". It has a SMEMA pass through conveyor that features automatic conveyor width adjustment and a "crowder" to facilitate positive location of the board.The board is maintained stationary during the soldering process preventing components from toppling over causing "unset" inter-metallic fillets. The KISS-104 couples high throughput with precise process controls. The programmable features provide the tools to set all process parameters, including immersion depths, pre-heat dwells, travel distances and speeds, solder temperature and wave height. Once set, the system will repeat precisely.
The KISS-104 will out produce 6 or more operators soldering with an iron while significantly increasing the solder joint quality and to a predictable schedule.
PROCESS OVERVIEW:
The automated process begins with the PCB/panel entering the KISS-104 on the edge rail conveyors built into the system in normal SMEMA fashion. The PCB is "crowded" into position then clamped flat to remove board bowing in the "X" axis. The cycle begins by applying flux precisely to all the sites to be soldered (by spray or drop jet applicators). Next the mini solder wave is automatically moved under the components to be soldered. The solder nozzle rises to just below the site allowing the heated nitrogen to pre-heat the site and activate the flux. The nozzle rises up further immersing the first of the leads, dwelling for initial "soak". The nozzle travels over the entire site leaving perfect top and bottom side fillets at each pin. At the completion of the travel the solder pot lowers and moves to the next site.
After completing all sites the pot returns to the start position ready for the next cycle while
the completed PCB/panel conveys out and the next PCB/panel conveys in.
IN-LINE CONFIGURATION:
ACE offers complementary modules that form a high speed line specifically to accelerate the TAKT time. With the ACE line the process is broken down to the basic operations to concurrently process a board at each station resulting in the fastest possible process times.....We offerin-line component insertion stations, fluxing and board pre-heating stations and closed loop conveyorized systems. We take complete responsibility for integration and installation on your production floor. ACE has installed lines that produce a board as rapidly as every 12 seconds.
Please view the data sheet, the machine video and the process videos for a better understanding of the machine and the process.
The KISS-104 can be acquired for as little as $2,100/month…..and saves you money by out performing at least 6 operators while returning a positive and instant cash flow in excess of $15,000/month (approximately $180,000/year). Ask for our R.O.I. calculator. This handy one page spread sheet will demonstrate the cost saving and rapid pay back of the KISS-104 system….
