The fluxer/preheat combo operates in tandem with the selective soldering unit and can be configured with either Drop-Jet or ultrasonic flux heads and both top and bottom side IR preheat functions. Twin pitch fluxheads are available for further cycle time reductions.
The machine utilizes an XY positioning system to position the flux head as required. A Drop-Jet flux head is supplied as standard with an ultrasonic head being ordered as an alternative or in addition to the standard head. Both systems provide precise control of the flux being deposited on the board.
Programming and control of the machine is via a PC using the Windows® based PillarCOMM software. Programs and machine configuration are protected by a customer selectable, multilevel password security system.
The machine is freely programmable to cater to different board layouts. Each flux joint is separately programmable to its own set of required parameters. The programming system employs a component data library enabling quantities of similar joints to use the same fluxing data outline. Visually assisted self-teach alignment allows for fast and accurate board programming.
