Microtronic GmbH, Munich, has introduced the D&L Automator, a fully automated and PC-controlled system for Dip and Look solderability testing. Designed and manufactured in Germany, the system complies with IPC-J-STD-002 (solderability of component leads) and IPC-J-STD-003 (solderability of printed boards). The equipment addresses tightening IPC requirements that render manual techniques using tweezers and a stopwatch insufficient for demonstrating active wetting.
The D&L Automator controls all critical dipping parameters — temperature, immersion speed and depth, dwell time, and withdrawal speed — ensuring repeatable and traceable test results. The system features a built-in PC running Windows 10 with a touchscreen interface, an automated bath-level measurement tool, and a light curtain for automatic test-coupon length measurement. Microtronic positions the unit as a durable, production-suitable solution for quality laboratories in electronics manufacturing.
