  • Soldering machine for rope chain
    Patent number: 5388750
    Abstract: An improved soldering machine for automatically soldering links of a chain is provided in which the links are disposed adjacent to one another and define link junctions where the improved soldering machine holds the chain in position to enable the link junctions to be soldered. A soldering device applies solder paste to the chain at the link junctions by feeding the solder paste through a hollow needle having a needle tip wherein the needle tip traverses a predetermined path and contacts the chain over a portion of that predetermined path. The improvement consists of a heater which traverses a cyclical path which is dependent upon the position of the needle tip and heats the solder applied to the chain over a portion of that cyclical path.
