Nordson expands the SELECT Synchro selective soldering equipment family with new Synchro 3 release
Nordson Electronics Solutions, has released the Synchro 3, a new model in the SELECT Synchro selective soldering equipment family for high-volume printed circuit board assembly applications. Selective soldering helps to safeguard solder joint quality during electronics manufacturing to help protect product reliability.
All Synchro systems use a revolutionary, patent-pending synchronous motion technology to reduce conveyance time and boost throughput by 20-40% for most applications while reducing footprint up to 60%. The equipment series includes the Synchro 3, 5, and 5 XL, offering three or five soldering stations. The new Synchro 3 offers up to three solder pots to match manufacturing needs for different alloys, and different or singular nozzles. The Synchro 3 and 5 systems handle boards up to 2500 x 460 mm, while the Synchro 5 XL handles 2500 x 680 mm boards.
Single-sided, double-sided through-hole, mixed-technology surface mount, and through-hole board assemblies travel non-stop through the multi-station selective soldering system. Soldering tasks are automatically balanced between soldering pots to increase throughput further. Process control features are standard as well as easy point-and-click programming and fiducial finding.
