摘要

The soldering tool (1) is mounted on the arm (15) of a programmed handling robot. The tool has a solder retainer (6) that has pockets of solder corresponding to the location of electronic component pins (2) to be fixed to a circuit board (4). The solder is brought into contact and a protective gas atmosphere provided by gas introduced (24) into a bellows (26).
