RSS-1000-CVSI Connection Validation Robotic Soldering System Description:

Reduce Risk and Increase Productivity with Robotic Soldering

Metcal’s Robotic Soldering System with patented Connection Validation (CV) technology and a touchscreen graphical user interface is designed to drastically mitigate the risk of solder joint defects and add productivity to the manufacturers’ soldering process.

Robotic soldering is becoming more commonplace as manufacturers look to reduce risk and increase productivity. Metcal’s new Robotic Soldering System addresses these needs by combining our patented Connection Validation (CV) technology and Smart Interface System. CV mitigates solder joint defects by validating the intermetallic compound (IMC) formation in a soldered joint, and reduces unnecessary dwell time by signaling to the system to move to the next solder joint in the program after a good joint is detected.

Powerful and Simple

The Smart Interface System combines dual cameras, a touchscreen interface and powerful software, enabling easy programming and reduced turnover time. Importing your Gerber or DXF file capturing the image of your printed circuit board starts the programming process. Control of the system is integrated through the touchscreen interface, enabling users to select the solder joints, control the integrated solder feeder or manage process parameters through a graphical user interface. The Connection Validation Robotic Soldering System is the newest example of Metcal’s Industrial Ingenuity.

Features and Benefits

• SmartHeat - Provides power on demand in response to the thermal load.
• Connection Validation - Validates the intermetallic compound (IMC) formation of a solder joint via a patentedalgorithm and signals the system to move to the next joint.
• Smart Interface System - Integrates control of the system into an easy to control interface. The custom graphical userinterface (GUI) provides a powerful user experience that allows a user to quicklyprogram and control all aspects of their solder program. The system allows quickand easy edits of solder programs, ensuring changes are easily implemented withminimal downtime.
• Quick-Change Cartridge System - The Robotic Soldering System features a new quick-change cartridge collet thatenables the system to utilize and exchange any CV compatible soldering cartridge withthe system.
• Integrated Solder Feeder Controls - Customize the application of solder to the solder joint via the Smart Interface System.Control the speeds and feeds of each application of solder to ensure the correctvolume at each solder joint.
• Pattern Recognition and Array Programming - Speed up the programming process by letting the Smart Interface System findrepeating patterns and apply the same soldering program. Each pattern can be stored in alibrary that is available to the user for each new printed circuit board. Using ArrayProgramming takes programming to the next level. Using a base program, the system.
• Merge Profile - Merge Profile allows the user to insert previously created profiles in locations definedby the user. This is useful when creating multiple instances of solder points that havealready been created, with this feature the user can create a single profile that containssolder points from a collection of other profiles.
