S Hello everyone. I am Steve, a soldering engineer at Japan Unix.
Today, I would like to talk about repeatability, which is crucial for soldering robots.

First of all, what does “repeatability” mean? Repeatability means the ability to consistently produce the same quality under the same conditions. If repeatability drops for any reason, the quality will vary.
Maintaining repeatability involves three key points.

Let’s examine them individually.

S The first point is the repeatability of the “position”.

If the tip or solder feed is not in the correct position, heat will not transfer to the solder, and it will not spread adequately.

To achieve this!
Adjust the position of the solder tip so that it contacts the solder. Then, adjust the solder feed position from the front, back, left, and right.

It is important to check the position carefully.

S Then check the repeatability of the “condition”.

To prevent solder bridges or spikes, it is crucial to maintain a constant temperature of the tip and ensure that the flux carbide does not adhere to it.

To achieve this!
Clean the tip with an air or brush cleaner and use a thermometer to match the tip temperature to the display reading.

Remember to keep the tip’s condition constant is important.

S Finally, the repeatability of the “movement”.

Advanced soldering requires delicate movements similar to those of a human hand.

To achieve this!
The robot can be programmed with precise movements and craftsmanship techniques to reproduce human movements.

S Position, condition, and movement,

by managing these three factors carefully, we can ensure a high level of repeatability for soldering robots.
If you have any questions about repeatability, please feel free to contact Japan Unix.

Thank you and see you next time!
