Selective soldering system

摘要

A solder machine includes a top flat carrier that holds PWBs just above a solder bath. Opposed edges of the carrier are coupled to a frame and each edge can be independently raised or lowered by a respective piston. Also, the base of the frame can pivot along one of its edges to provide a second degree of freedom of motion to the top flat carrier in dipping the PWBs relative to the solder bath, thereby providing a solder machine with a relatively small footprint that nonetheless can achieve precise soldering of PWBs.
