The latest addition to the popular Rhythm line, the Slide offers high performance selective through-hole soldering. With a process range of 12” x 12”, the system performs precise dip and drag soldering using an RPS miniwave and a high durability EFD flux nozzle; both nozzles articulate below the PCB. A second solder pot can be hot-swapped for lead and lead-free processing.
The Slide features best-in-class servo motor motion control for speed, accuracy and repeatability. A closed loop temperature controlled nitrogen inertion process provides superior thermal performance of the soldering miniwave. RPS offers innovative miniwave nozzle designs for wave stability and defect free performance.
The SPX Selective Soldering System handles basic to complex dip, drag, wire bond, and other through-hole soldering processes. The SPX features best-in-class servo motor motion control for speed, accuracy, and repeatability. The nitrogen inertion process uses closed loop temperature control for superior thermal performance. lnnovative minivvave nozzle designs provide wave stability and defect free performance. The SPX system utilizes a graphical interface for simple programming and operation.
