The KISS-100 rework soldering machine is a contact-based system designed to selectively remove or install components such as connectors, through-hole components, and odd-form devices into boards, panels and other assemblies without disturbing nearby SMT components. Combines standard KISS solder pot and pump with a universal PCB holding and indexing nest and a vertical/tilt motion. Uses angular (tilt) extraction from the solder wave. This “tilt” motion reportedly permits solder to drain off component leads, preventing solder bridging and icicles. Control features are said to provide tools to set all process parameters including immersion depth, dwells in solder tilt extraction, travel distances and speeds, solder temperature and wave height. Nozzles are available to accommodate connectors up to 6" long. Handles PCB panels up to 18" x 24". Is Pb-free capable.
