FLIP Solder Bath for Pb-free reflow soldering features Linear Induction Pumping, in which three phases of AC currents flow through induction coils to induce horizontal magnetic fields inside solder bath. The magnetic fields generate vertical force, which moves molten solder upward through nozzles and flow down by gravity. Two induction coils generate magnetic field and propelling force as the alternating AC current flows in induction coils. Developed for use in reflow and selective solder systems.
Uses 300 kg of solder, instead of 450 kg, and generates less solder dross: 7 kg, instead of 15 kg, after 8 hours of operation. Offers open space to access inside side bath and easy nozzle cleaning and maintenance. Does not have motors, impeller shafts or belts. Said to feature a quieter, more stable solder wave than impeller motor types.
