SEHO to Debut New Entry-Level Selective Soldering System at SMTAI
September 18, 2018 | SEHO Systems GmbHEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
SEHO Systems GmbH plans to exhibit at SMTA International, scheduled to take place October 16-17, 2018 in Rosemont, Illinois. The company will introduce the new StartSelective – the perfect plug-and-produce selective soldering system for those just entering automated soldering.
Connect, power on and produce. The StartSelective is thought through down to the last detail, from its compact design, ease of operation and many technical highlights. With a footprint of only 2.5 m², the StartSelective provides maximum quality and reproducibility of soldering results for assemblies up to 20“ x 20“ and an outstanding return on investment.
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 SEHO. While all process steps are fully automated and monitored, loading and unloading of assemblies is done manually.
The preheat section of the StartSelective is equipped with pulsar heaters over the full area that feature a high energy density and quick reaction time. This enables a remarkable reduction in energy consumption, especially in standby mode. A top-side heater allows processing of high-mass assemblies and can be activated individually with a pre-programmed temperature.
Another highlight is the optimized soldering area with non-wetted miniwave solder nozzles, featuring a 7° soldering angle. The nozzles convince with stable and reproducible flow properties resulting in outstanding soldering quality. Even difficult geometries can be soldered easily. Moreover, non-wetted solder nozzles are maintenance-free and feature a nearly unlimited lifetime, thus avoiding follow-up costs. Additionally, they do not require any chemicals for activation. An advantage for both the health of the maintenance staff and the environment.
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.
The StartSelective is designed for maximum efficiency. Programming is 100 percent offline at any PC workplace so that the machine is always available for production. Loading and unloading of assemblies is done from the front side, and all setup, retooling and maintenance are easily accessible on one side of the machine. This design allows users to integrate the StartSelective in any production island with minimum footprint requirements, or to place it as stand-alone system in the corner of the production floor.
