Seho Systems GmbH, a manufacturer of complete solutions for soldering processes and automated production lines, will exhibit at SMTconnect, scheduled to take place May 7–9, 2019, in Nuremberg, Germany. The team will demonstrate the StartSelective, the perfect plug-and-produce selective soldering system, ideal for those just entering automated soldering. The machine is fully equipped to start production immediately: Simply connect, power on and produce!
The StartSelective is thought through down to the last detail, from its ease of operation that does not require special skills to many technical highlights. With a footprint of only 2.5 m², it provides maximum quality and reproducibility of selective soldering results for assemblies up to 508 mm x 508 mm (20 “ x 20 “) and an outstanding return on investment. The compact design allows users to integrate the machine in any production island, or to place it as stand-alone system in the corner of the production floor.
While loading and unloading of assemblies is done manually, all process steps are fully automated and monitored. All process-relevant components, such as the micro drop jet fluxer, preheat system and maintenance-free electromagnetic soldering unit have successfully been in use for years in other soldering systems from the company.
The bottom-side preheat section of the StartSelective is equipped with up-to-date pulsar heaters over the full area, which feature a high energy density and quick reaction time. An additional top-side IR preheating ensures permanent and controlled heat support during long cycles to guarantee constant process conditions.
Another highlight is the soldering area with electromagnetic soldering unit, featuring a 7 ° soldering angle. It is ideally suited for the use of non-wetted mini-wave nozzles with directed solder flow. The result: An ideal solder peel-off and effective reduction of possible soldering defects, even with difficult board layouts.
The solder nozzles convince with stable and reproducible flow properties, they are maintenance-free and feature a nearly unlimited lifetime, thus avoiding follow-up costs.
Just like the high-volume selective soldering systems from Seho, the StartSelective is equipped with a complete package for automated process control. The spray jet control in the fluxing area, automatic wave height control and solder level monitoring with automated solder wire supply are only some of the monitoring functions.
It is designed for maximum efficiency. Programming is 100 percent offline at any PC workplace so that the machine is always available for production. Simply connect, power on and produce!
