ULTIMA TRZ Benchtop Selective Soldering Machine

ULTIMA TRZ Benchtop Selective Soldering Machine from Manncorp

ULTIMA TRZ Benchtop Selective Soldering Machine

The unique and innovative design of the ULTIMA TRZ selective soldering system brings features and performance to the benchtop that, until now, could only be found in equipment twice the size and twice the cost. The TRZ includes a high-precision PCB handling system fully programmable in the X, Y, and Z axes, a compact solder pot and pump assembly with extremely responsive, programmable flow control, and a wave nozzle with integral nitrogen preheat; features that guarantee fast, consistent, high-quality soldering of through-hole components to SMT boards.

Highly Responsive Solder Pump for Precise Wave Control

This close-up shows the precision and uniformity of the wave shape as the molten solder flows out of the top of the nozzle. The TRZ's highly responsive solder pump allows precise and virtually instantaneous control of wave height and solder volume by varying the pump speed (rpm) and acceleration/deceleration (rpm/s). To prevent oxidation, an exclusive nitrogen micro-heater, controllable to 400°C, is located within the hood surrounding the wave nozzle. Close proximity of the heater to the nozzle ensures a stable wave temperature as nitrogen flows through the hood and shrouds the molten solder joint.

Solder Connectors with Parallel Rows of Pins in a Single Pass

For higher throughput, tandem rows of multiple leads can be soldered in a single pass, provided that the use of a nozzle with a sufficiently large I.D. or width is used. Custom rectangular-shaped wave nozzles are also available upon special request. For assistance in selecting the proper nozzle size and shape, please submit a PCB sample to your Manncorp sales or customer service representative.

Wide Variety of Quick-Change Nozzles Available

A wide range of round-shaped nozzles are available with inside diameters across 2.5 mm (0.1") to 20 mm (0.79"). The highly-polished stainless steel surface allows smooth laminar flow of the wave over the nozzle surface for highly-stable wave form and extremely stable wave temperature. The inside diameter of the nozzle controls the overall diameter of the wave. The optimum nozzle size for a particular application is a function of the area to be soldered, the proximity of adjacent components, and the desired throughput.

Compact Solder Pot Slides In and Out for Easy Maintenance

The ULTIMA TRZ's unique compact design allows the 16 kg solder pot and pump module to remain stationary during operation while the programmable PCB positioner moves the board over the wave nozzle in the X, Y, and Z axes. The module is easily accessible for loading of bars or pellets and slides in and out in seconds for routine maintenance. A low solder level alarm and an automatic solder feeder are available as options.

View and Record Live Video of Soldering Operations

An optional high-definition witness camera with adjustable LED lighting, located below the PCB positioner and focused at the top of the nozzle, allows operators to view and record soldering operations in real-time.

Generate Program Data From PCB Scans or Gerber Data Import

The Windows®-compatible software accepts direct numeric data input for easy offline program creation on any PC or laptop. Programs can also be created via Gerber data import or even scanned jpg images of PCBs (as shown in this screen capture) with optional software. Soldering functions can be defined as lines or points using an easy to use visual editor. Programs are then downloaded to the system via USB connection. Programs created for the ULTIMA TRZ are also easily converted to selective fluxing programs that can also be downloaded to the ULTIMA SSP selective fluxing unit.

Wave Simulation Mode Checks Solder Coverage Area

After the soldering coordinates have been entered, a handy wave width simulation mode allows the user to check the wave coverage area, based on the nozzle size selected for the individual lines and points.

Editable Parameters for Complete Control of All Soldering Functions

Data entered via the visual editor or Gerber data import is automatically arranged in a tabular format (as shown in this screen capture). The powerful TRZ software provides a wide variety of editable parameters for each soldering step that ensures perfect, repeatable soldering every time. Users can edit the default parameters for control of Z-axis dip height, preheat dwell, X-Y speed, pump flow (rpm), and acceleration/deceleration (rpm/s); parameters critical to the prevention of bridging, icicling, and other defects. The TRZ software also automatically calculates the amount of time required for the completion of each soldering program.

Easy Import and Conversion of Gerber Data Into Soldering Programs

When Gerber data is imported via the optional software, the PCB image is automatically drawn on the visual editor screen. From here, the user can easily choose the pads to be soldered and can define them as individual points or convert selected groups of pads into continuous lines.

Selective Fluxing System Supports Up to 3 TRZs

The ULTIMA SSP selective fluxing system, (available as an accessory and shown here beside an ULTIMA TRZ), utilizes a high-precision, pressurized air atomization nozzle and an X-Y drive mechanism with programmable speed to provide highly controllable fluxing in support of up to three ULTIMA TRZ selective soldering systems.

Separate Fluxing Station Provides Important Advantages

The ULTIMA SSP handles boards or pallets up to 330 x 250 mm (the same size as the TRZ) and utilizes a high-precision, pressurized air atomization nozzle and X-Y drive mechanism with programmable speed for highly controllable selective fluxing. Among the many advantages of separating soldering and fluxing operations into separate machines are 1) the ability to keep overspray and sticky flux residue away out of the soldering mechanism and PCB positioner, 2) simplified maintenance, and 3) increased throughput by allowing soldering and fluxing to be performed simultaneously (in fact, a single SSP can serve as many as three TRZ systems).

Precision Spray Nozzle Delivers Precise, Uniform, Flux Application

The precision spray nozzle used in the ULTIMA SSP is capable of delivering round or very thin linear spray patterns with a very small amount of liquid flux. Independent pressure controls for its integral flux reservoir and atomizer allow the user to regulate the volume and density of the spray jet.

Selective Fluxing Programs Easily Generated From Soldering Data

Soldering programs for the TRZ are easily converted to selective fluxing programs by the ULTIMA Series software application and downloaded to the SSP via USB connection.
