DESKTOP SOLDERING ROBOT

Web site : http://www.japanunix.co.jp/Printed in japan 05093000-S

Experiencing difficulty finding a solution to lead-free soldering tasks. Soldering robots can help by offering an easy to use, highly productive solution.

What Are Desktop Soldering Robots?JAPAN UNIX’s soldering robots are extensively

used in soldering electrical equipment

for automobiles where high reliability

and safety is of critical importance.

●Semi-automated robot for soldering parts after the main SMT production process. Best suited for use in cellular manufacturing.

●Desktop robots take up less space. A table, a power supply and dry air are all that is needed.

●Enables novice soldering workers to yield an equivalent of the work performance of an experienced solderer.

●Once a robot is programmed, it can be immediately put into service upon installation and the push of the start button.

● Fully versatile robots can be easily adapted to production line changes due to product modifications.

●Our experienced staff of experts is ready to support the creation of your own soldering programs.

●Production method optimized for lead-free soldering operations, with extensive proven performance.

Simple to operate so you can solder with confidenceDesktop soldering robots adapt to all kinds of work

All robots come complete with easy to usesoldering programs that reflect user needs.

Built-in soldering robot programs

Built-in soldering robot programs remove the needfor professional programming knowledge,enabling beginners to learn quickly.

Multilanguage support

The teaching screen can be switchedfrom language to language (languages supported as standard:Japanese, English, German, Spanish and Italian).

Cable-carrier specification

Robot cables are enclosed in the cable-carrierto eliminate the fears of cable disconnectionfor hours of uninterrupted service.

Solder feeder

Increased Storage Capacity

255 programs ( 2.5 times more than past)and maximum data capacityof 30,000 points (fives times more than past).

Dust and Debris Proof Design

The special structural designs of the robotshave eliminated worktable traveling groovesto block foreign matteringfrom entering the interior.

Simplified PLC Facility

A built-in simplified PLC (programmable logic controller)facility runs independently of the robot.

Soldering controller

Iron tip cleaner

Highly Rigid Structure

A solid die-cast aluminum alloy is used in the base,with an extruded aluminum materialwith a stiff cross section in the columns.

Standard with an easy-to-viewlarge LCD original teaching pendant

All robots come standardwith an original teaching pendantspecifically designed for soldering.

Soldering head

Automatic Tip PositionCorrection Mechanism

Soldering ParameterSetup Screen

＊The sensor unit and the position correction controller are options.

Detects the tip position and corrects the entire program accordingly, thus drastically cutting the time spent making edits to the program for position calibration.

Soldering Point Teaching

Preprogrammed position data can be easily entered by numeric entry or by JOG mode.

Soldering parameters can be numerically entered from the teaching pendant.

Preprogrammed Wire Brush Cleaning

Temperature setting, temperature correction and other values can also be numerically entered from the teaching pendant.

Built-in Counter FunctionsSoldering Temperature Setting

Information of vital importance to the manager, such as product quantity, number of points soldered, heater energization time and cycle time per program, is displayed in the teaching pendant.

Multiple cleaning positions can be preprogrammed. Apart from standard air-blow cleaning, a wire brush-based cleaning setup item has been newly added.

Automatic TimerStandby Temperature Setting

Teaching Pendant Modifiedfor Soldering Purposes

The teaching pendant has now been made lighter in weight and easier to use. The teaching pendant comes with new commands required for teaching soldering operations.

Simplified PLC Program

If the robot remains idle for a preset period of time, the heater cools down to a standby temperature automatically to check the exhaustion of the tip and heater and also save energy (timer setting: 0 to 100 minutes).

A built-in simplified PLC (programmable controller) facility allows external devices to be controlled with I/O output signals.
