PILOT
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    Although a low-cost system, the PILOT is offered with the ability to run the acclaimed highly flexible Pillarhouse AP nozzle technology, together with our patented market leading 1.5mm micro nozzle. The process is enhanced by a localised hot Nitrogen environment at the point of soldering. An optional Nitrogen generator is built into the base of the unit and can be used to supply Nitrogen at the required levels, whilst acting as a machine stand.

    Designed for low maintenance, the PILOT offers a slide in/out solder bath design for ease of access. This in conjunction with our proven impellor driven pump technology, makes a highly reliable low maintenance system.

    By carrying product over the flux, solder and optional preheat stations, the PILOT offers a light, highly accurate X, Y system.

    Programming is accessed through the world leading Pillarhouse ‘Point and Click’ PillarCOMM software package. Optional offline programming is available via PillarPAD which allows programs to be generated independently from the machine using Gerber data.
