ULTIMA NEO-L All-in-One Selective Soldering System

Compact selective soldering with integrated fluxing for consistent, repeatable results.

The ULTIMA NEO-L combines high-precision selective fluxing with fully programmable point-to-point and linear soldering in a space-saving design.

  • Full XYZ motion control: precise PCB positioning
  • Integrated fluxing + soldering: streamlined process
  • Automated operation: replaces manual soldering

By moving the PCB over a stationary solder pot and flux jet, the system delivers consistent quality while reducing the risk of overheating or board damage—ideal for small to medium production.

Large Board Holder and Precision X-Y-Z Drive Mechanism

The ULTIMA NEO-L features a spacious work envelope with an oversized PCB holder, supporting boards up to 18" x 15" (460 x 380 mm) in a single pass.

A high-precision X-Y-Z motion system moves the PCB over a stationary solder pot, delivering ±0.004" (±0.1 mm) positional accuracy with programmable speeds from slow soldering movements to rapid point-to-point transitions for consistent, repeatable results.

Highly Responsive Solder Pump for Precise Control of Miniature Wave

The NEO-L’s programmable solder pump provides fast, precise control of wave height and solder volume through adjustable speed and acceleration.

An integrated nitrogen micro-heater (up to 400°C) surrounds the nozzle, maintaining stable temperature and reducing oxidation for consistent solder quality.

Solder Connectors with Parallel Rows of Pins in a Single Pass

Multiple rows of connector pins can be soldered in a single pass using larger or custom-shaped nozzles, significantly improving throughput.

Nozzle selection depends on pad size, spacing, and production requirements.

Wide Variety of Quick-Change Nozzles Available

A wide range of precision nozzles (2.5–20 mm) allows the system to adapt to different applications.

Polished stainless steel construction ensures smooth, laminar flow and stable wave performance. Nozzle size determines wave diameter and solder coverage.

Compact Solder Pot Slides In and Out for Easy Maintenance

The compact 16 kg solder pot remains stationary while the PCB moves across the wave, improving process stability.

The module slides out for quick maintenance and easy solder loading. Optional upgrades include a 32 kg pot, low-level alarm, and automatic solder feeder.

View and Record Live Video of Soldering Operations

An optional HD camera with adjustable LED lighting provides real-time visibility of the soldering process, allowing operators to monitor and record operations for quality control and training.

Generate Program Data From PCB Scans or Gerber Data Import

Programs can be created using numeric input, Gerber files, or scanned PCB images.

An intuitive visual editor allows users to define solder paths as points or lines, with programs created offline or online and automatically adapted for selective fluxing.

Wave Simulation Mode Checks Solder Coverage Area

Wave simulation mode allows users to verify solder coverage based on selected nozzle size before production, helping prevent setup errors.

Editable Parameters for Complete Control of All Soldering Functions

The NEO-L software provides full control over soldering parameters, including Z-axis height, dwell time, XY speed, and pump flow.

These settings ensure repeatable results while minimizing defects such as bridging and icicling. Program timing is automatically calculated for efficient planning.

Easy Import and Conversion of Gerber Data Into Soldering Programs

Imported Gerber data is automatically converted into an interactive PCB layout, allowing users to quickly select pads and define solder paths as points or continuous lines.

High-Precision Spray Fluxing

The precision spray nozzle delivers controlled round or linear spray patterns using minimal flux, reducing consumable costs.

Independent pressure controls ensure accurate regulation of spray volume and density for consistent application.

Selective Fluxing Programs Automatically Generated From Soldering Data

Soldering programs are automatically converted into corresponding selective fluxing programs, streamlining setup and ensuring process consistency.
