60-W Diode Laser Cell in-line soldering station combines easy-to-use software and precision movement to selective solder most bottom-side applications. Offers over 10,000 hours of useful soldering life and does not require that the solder remain preheated during non-soldering times. Equipped with a precision four-axis Cartesian robot with enhanced Adept motion and vision guidance (with fiducial recognition system and dynamic compensation).
End effector allows the soldering head and automatic solder feeder to be independently adjustable. Variable beam selection ranges from 0.7 to 2.5 mm. Approach and angle are controlled through software.

Pin-to-pin acceleration can be as aggressive as 0.1 sec. Can move 1.2 meter/sec. at 1G acceleration; however, most soldering is accomplished at 50% of this level. The vision system may be programmed to look for known fiducial points, analyze them and automatically center to that point. Variable beam size allows operators to program in desired size (from 0.7 to 2.5 mm.
