Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the controlled displacement of an upward-directed spray nozzle to individual spray points that are situated a distance apart, in particular for spraying flux in wave soldering units. The spray nozzle is situated axially on a rotary axle rotated by a rotary drive, to which a deflection force directly radially to the rotary axle is applied in such a way that, when the rotary axle rotates, the spray nozzle executes a self-contained annular motion whose contour is limited in the radial direction by a stationary mask surrounding the spray nozzle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for soldering electrical components to soldering positions, which are provided with soldering material, on a plastic sheet provided with applied conductor tracks. The plastic sheet is heated, from the side which is remote from the components, to a below its damage temperature and after heating its side which is remote from the components is thermally insulated. Then, the side which faces the components is acted on by a heating-gas stream which is concentrated onto the locations which are to be soldered by a template which has windows.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for soldering of additional electronic components onto a circuit board having components which have already been soldered and mounted thereto, wherein the additional components are plugged through the circuit board and soldered thereto. In order to be able to subsequently solder the components in a simple and reliable fashion, a template, having a pattern of holes corresponding to the soldering points and locations which are to be subsequently formed on the circuit board, is lowered and pressed onto the surface of a solder bath in such a fashion that the solder displaces into the holes and rises up within same. The circuit board having the previously mounted additional components is placed onto the template in such a fashion that the regions which are to be soldered are disposed within the openings of the template and dipped into the solder located therein.

Abstract: In the process according to the invention for soldering electronic boards, in particular, printed circuit boards with devices installed on them, first, during the pickling process, a condensable process material, for example, water, is introduced into flaws in the oxide layers on the soldering connection surfaces and at least partially condensed in the flaws. Then, the oxide layers are exposed to rapid heating such that the process material condensed in the flaws vaporizes explosively and thus the oxide layer breaks up and cracks off of the basis material, such that the soldering connection surfaces for the subsequent actual soldering process are brought to virgin condition. In the case of wave soldering, the rapid heating occurs preferably by means of the wave of solder itself. If non-oxide passive layers must also be removed, this occurs preferably in a preceding stage of the pickling process, during which the oxide layer is hydrophilized. For this, a plasma pretreatment is suitable.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a procedure for processing joints to be soldered, preferably printed circuit boards fitted with electric components, and an arrangement for executing this procedure, wherein the joints are subjected to plasma treatment before the soldering process. The joints may be subjected to plasma treatment separately or in the relative position necessary for the soldering process.
