ApplicationsSolder Electronic Parts
Application:
A manufacturer of sophisticated electronic components flowing solder rings into delicate areas of the components.
Problem:
- Delicate Components - The area to be soldered could not be touched with a soldering iron.
- Temperature Sensitivity - The components could not be soldered on a hot plate.
Solution:
- Heat - A Model 4085 Infrared Spot Heater used noncontact infrared heat to flow the solder rings into the components.
- Positioning -The Infrared Spot Heater was mounted on a manually operated control arm, allowing the operator to position the heater directly above the area being soldered without touching it.
- Timed Operation - A timer was wired into the Spot Heater to provide the precise amount of heat to the components.
Benefits:
- Improved Quality - The Model 4085 Infrared Spot Heater applied the precise amount of heat to flow the solder rings into the delicate components without touching the components.
- Increased Speed - The soldering operation was completed in less time with the Model 4085 Infrared Spot Heater than had been possible with other methods.
