ACE Production Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of selective soldering systems, is pleased to announce that Calian’s system engineering division, SED Systems has purchased a KISS-102 selective soldering machine from ACE.
The KISS-102 selective soldering system has been installed at the SED Systems facility located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada and is the second selective soldering machine SED Systems has ordered from ACE Production Technologies.
“The KISS-102 is a fully-configured selective soldering platform equipped with 'super quick' processing speeds, heated nitrogen inerting system and automated wave height detection system,” said Alan Cable, president of ACE Production Technologies. “The KISS-102 comes standard with the ACE automated fiducial location and correction system providing single click fiducial teach capability, seamless fiducial recognition and true automated alignment and skew correction of the printed circuit board.”
Cable added, “Other innovative features include the new SWAK-OS machine operating software which is a revolutionary graphics-based programming and editing machine control system that features fast program loading and program recall with minimal operator intervention. A major benefit of the SWAK-OS is the integrated board scanning function that automatically captures and saves an image of a printed circuit board to the selective soldering program.”
