  • Publication number: 20220362893
    Abstract: A transport unit for transporting printed circuit boards along a direction of transport within at least one zone of a soldering system, in particular a reflow soldering system, characterized in that a base part is provided with an output shaft that can be driven, and with at least two output wheels which are rotatably coupled to the output shaft, in that at least two drive parts which can be releasably fastened on and removed from the base part are each provided with a drive wheel in such a manner that the drive parts have drive rollers which are rotatably coupled to the drive wheel, and which act on the printed circuit board to transport the printed circuit board through the zone, and in that, when the drive parts are fastened to the base part, each of the output wheels is in engagement with the associated drive wheel.

  • Patent number: 10166619
    Abstract: A soldering pump for pumping an electrically conductive fluid—in particular, a liquid solder—said soldering pump having a feed channel which travels at least in segments along a circular path and has an inlet and an outlet, and having a device for generating a moving magnetic field, wherein the device comprises at least one permanent magnet, wherein the device is designed such that the permanent magnet is moved along the feed channel during operation.

  • Publication number: 20160228968
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of at least two solder-wettable separating strips (6, 7) for a soldering nozzle, for simultaneous wave soldering of rows of soldering points, said rows being arranged so as to be spaced apart. The invention is distinguished by the fact that the depth of the separating strips (6, 7), along the solder influx direction, amounts to at least a multiple of the thickness of the separating strips (6, 7), in order to carry away excess solder from the soldering points by means of surface tension by transfer to the separating strips (6, 7); and also by the fact that the at least two separating strips (6, 7) are oriented exactly parallel to one another and are connected fixedly as a group of separating strips (6, 7) to form a strip assembly (2). The invention makes it possible to carry out wave soldering with a repeatably high quality and also without the formation of solder bridges even in the case of circuit board structures with a very fine pitch.
