To satisfy these requirements, TM Robotics suggested the TVL500. One company to take advantage of soldering robots is MIG-O-MAT, a company that makes plasma welding and micro-flame soldering machines, before this point for manual use. MIG-O-MAT approached Elmotec to find a robot that was extremely accurate, consistent, flexible and able to be installed in multiple configurations.

These soldering heads are simple to mount onto SCARA robots, and cover a range of soldering types including laser soldering heads for heat-sensitive electrical components, high-frequency soldering heads for compact induction heating and flame soldering heads for maximum energy when micro-flame soldering. These heads can be combined with nozzles designed for a variety of applications. TM Robotics and Elmotec offer a range of fully automated soldering systems, combining Shibaura Machine’s accurate and reliable SCARA and 6-axis robots, with soldering heads and peripherals designed by Elmotec. The third reason to robotize soldering operations is versatility. Whatever the soldering application, from single pins to battery cables, there’s a soldering robot to match. With human error eliminated, fewer defects will be found - decreasing the amount of rework needed and increasing throughput. In contrast, once a robot has been programmed to a certain path and quality level, it will repeat it exactly, soldering each join precisely. Errors that do occur can easily be corrected through reprogramming. Not only are soldering robots faster than manual soldering, they’re also more accurate. Every year, electronics are getting smaller, and the demand for smaller, more lightweight electronics is only expected to grow. Many printed circuit boards (PCBs) are heavily populated with components, making it likely for solder joints to be incorrectly soldered or missed altogether. Errors when soldering manually are inconsistent and difficult to detect.
