Auto-Dip Pb-free solder dipping is a benchtop, fixtureless system that simulates the action of a wave without dislodging components when boards, retained by a grid of needle supports, are dipped into the solder bath. Solder is then evenly applied while surface tension “floats” the PCBs at the correct through-hole wetting height. Single boards or pallets of up to 19.3" x 12.5" are processed in 2 to 12 sec. Activation is microprocessor-controlled with startup and shutdown times pre-settable for intervals up to one week. Adjusts for dwell time, Pb-free compatible temperatures from 220º to 299º C, and dipping angle. A built-in motorized skimmer removes dross as needed.
