Thermaltronics Awarded for Full Vision Soldering Robot at NEPCON China
April 24, 2019 | ThermaltronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Thermaltronics USA, Inc. announced that it was awarded a 2019 SMT China Vision Award in the category of Soldering – Auxiliary for its TMT-R9800S Solder Robot. The award was presented to the company during an April 24, 2019 ceremony at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center during NEPCON China.
The soldering robot has an observation mode, a verification mode and decision-making capabilities. This capability to collect and utilize data for production processing is one of the most important factors necessary to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 standards.
Thermaltronics Curie Heat Technology (CHT) Responds to the Thermal Demands of each solder joint by adjusting the power instantaneously, thereby meeting the exact requirements of the substrate component and solder material. The company’s hand soldering products include both 13.56 MHz and 470 KHz power supplies and are fully compatible with competitive product offerings.
The latest versions of the Thermaltronics’ soldering robot are now available with solder flux/paste capability, nitrogen option and desolder function. The company’s ability to provide accuracy and repeatability is proving to be a determining factor in system selection.
SMT China magazine launched the SMT China Vision Awards in 2007 to recognize both international and domestic providers of SMT equipment, materials, software and services that have made outstanding contributions to the rapid growth of China's electronics manufacturing industry by their inventions and innovations.
In addition to the hand soldering product line, Thermaltronics also provides an extended range of accessories to support both production and rework applications.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
