OPTION
Achieve 1) Improved network functions for industry 4.0
Connecting to factory network and making operation visible in real time.
* The relationship between factory network and DF series.
PLC, LAN and hubs are as provided by customers.
Achieve 2) 3D soldering and MID (molded interconnect device)
Two additional axes enable complex PCB soldering easy and flexible.
* Two axes can be added to the work area.
- ・Two axes can be optionally added, up to six axes are available.
- ・External devices are integrally controllable with the batch operation of robot.
- ・Various motions such as component rotation, PCB reversal, head angles, rotation of cylindrical parts, cable suppression, etc.
- ・Space saving and easy to setup.
Achieve 3) The new heater highly improves productivity.
Higher accuracy and improved temperature characteristics.
- ・Much more accurate temperature measurement has been achieved by placing heat sensor at the tip of the tip.
- ・Quick temp. recovery achieves higher operational efficiency.
- ・The heater and the tip are separated and can be replaced individually.
- ・Poka Yoke function prevents to make mistakes of installing a soldering tip and its direction.
Easy to change program selection on the switch box
* The center switch can quickly change programs.
- ・One touch selector on the switch box
- ・Arbitrary programs are simply selectable and executed (2ch)
Achieve 4) For Industry 4.0. Data management of each soldering process*
By connecting DF monitoring software, various soldering processes such as temperature, program execution and so on are visualized and converted into numerical data.
For example, observing the temperature during soldering, if irregular temperature change or program execution occurred, the monitoring system captures their irregularity and can notify errors.
Furthermore, connecting to the Internet / intranet, the system can notify error and can send alert to the registered email. Such real-time observation enables you immediately respond to operation errors and defects.
Any data can be exported with CSV format. Various operational log data from each process can be useful for investigating and exploring for further productivity improvement.
Further advanced soldering management software “Soldering Manager” (paid version) is now available.

Achieve 5) Managing invisible defect modes
UNI-TESTER compatible (optional)
In order to maintain stable soldering quality, not only measuring the tip temperature, but also measuring the tip leakage voltage and the ground resistance is important for process control.
The tip temperature instability affects the solder joint finish. Leakage and transient voltages can cause components’ internal damages. From the viewpoint of device protection, the resistance between the tip and ground must be measured and secured.
UNI-TESTER compatible with IEC-61191-1 (Ed3 / 2018) and IPC J-STD-001G can realize various measurements and automatic tip temperature offset at the same time.

– The most mature soldering method, with hundreds years history –
Among all kinds of soldering methods, iron tip is the technique with the longest history, and is also technically the most well established. It was mainly done manually by soldering operators, but robots have rapidly advanced its automation and rationalization in recent years.
READ MORE– The newest soldering method, now gaining the world’s attention –
Laser soldering is garnering attention as a new method. However, the heat application principle and other aspects differ from tip soldering. Therefore, tip soldering cannot be simply replaced.
Caution is needed, because a laser’s benefits might be lost unless it is properly used with knowledge of laser soldering’s characteristics.
READ MORE-Ultrasonic turns conventional wisdom upside down. Soldering even on glass or ceramics-
Conventional soldering basically involves bonding solder (tin) with a metallic substrate. Ultrasonic is an advanced technique that enables solder to bond with glass or non-metallic materials.
As renewable energy sources are attaining widespread use around the world.
