Delta Electronics Installs 15th ACE Selective Soldering System in Thailand
August 2, 2016 | ACE Production Technologies Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Delta Electronics, Inc. has invested in two additional selective soldering systems from ACE.
The KISS-102ILDP and KISS-102IL selective soldering systems will be installed at the Delta Electronics facility located in Amphur, Thailand making a total of fifteen selective soldering systems Delta Electronics has ordered from ACE Production Technologies.
The KISS-102ILDP dual pot in-line selective soldering system significantly reduces the overall processing time by concurrently soldering two different printed circuit boards utilizing two separate solder pots, each equipped with their own independent X-Y-Z axis positioning system. The dual pot machine architecture of the KISS-102ILDP allows for both tin-lead and lead-free solder pots to reside within the same machine so each can be used as required via process control and interlock to safeguard against intermixing of solder alloys.
The KISS-102IL is a fully-configured SMEMA compatible selective soldering platform equipped with super-quick processing speeds and the unique dual solder nozzle systems enabling the use of multiple nozzle shapes within the same program. The KISS-103IL comes standard with an automated fiducial location and correction system that offers seamless fiducial recognition and true automated X-Y alignment and corrects any skew of the printed circuit board.
Delta Electronics, Inc. was founded in 1971 and has become the global leader in switching power supply solutions and DC brushless fans. Delta produces the most energy efficient power products in the industry, including switching power supplies telecom power and PV inverters. They have developed the world’s first server power supply certified as 80 Plus Titanium with over 96% efficiency and have worldwide R&D facilities in Taiwan, China, Europe, India, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States.

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
