Patent number: 10981241Abstract: A solder feed structure has a solder exit aperture with an elongated shape. The elongated shape can help reduce the incidence of clogging, as it has a dimension that is significantly larger than the wire diameter of solder. The solder feed structure has a bent segment leading up to the solder exit aperture. The arc of the bent segment can cause the solder wire to be in a stable position at one end of the elongated shape of the solder exit aperture instead of wobbling within the solder exit aperture.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: HAKKO CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Masaki, Teruhiko Yamamoto

Patent number: 10864590Abstract: The present application discloses a soldering apparatus including a driving portion for moving a soldering iron to perform soldering on a surface of an electronic board including soldering regions. The soldering regions have a base region and at least one replication region existing at a position different from the base region. The replication region has an arrangement pattern that is the same as an arrangement pattern of a soldering position in the base region. The soldering apparatus includes an input portion for receiving input of positional relationship data, which represents a positional relationship between the base region and the at least one replication region, and for receiving base pattern data, which represents the arrangement pattern of the soldering position in the base region. The soldering apparatus includes a controller which causes the driving portion to move the soldering iron based on the base pattern data and the positional relationship data in a soldering operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: HAKKO CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshitomo Teraoka, Satoshi Manda, Tomoo Takahara

Patent number: 10842061Abstract: A soldering apparatus comprises a soldering mechanism and a management unit. The management unit converts operation history of the soldering mechanism into a numerical value, compares the numerical value to a predetermined threshold value, and generates a notifying signal if the numerical value exceeds the predetermined threshold value. The notifying signal may result in cessation of operation of the soldering mechanism. The notifying signal may result in a visual and/or audio reminder to the operator to inspect or replace a part of the soldering mechanism. With the management unit, the operator need not guess or rely on personal experience to determine when to perform an inspection or replacement. Reliance on personal experience can be error prone and lead to inefficiency. The management unit may reduce the possibility of soldering with a degraded soldering tip or other part, which may have an adverse effect on soldering quality.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: HAKKO CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshitomo Teraoka, Satoshi Manda

Patent number: 10646945Abstract: A soldering apparatus and method involves capturing an image of a soldering operation, and storing image data in association with that particular soldering operation. A soldering tool that is used to perform the soldering operation has a position during the soldering operation, and the image data could also be stored in association with data for that particular position. The position data could be for an operation start point and/or an operation endpoint. Associating the image data in this way could help a manufacturer investigate soldering abnormalities that might be reported after a product is shipped to a customer.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: HAKKO CORPORATIONInventor: Yoshitomo Teraoka
