This compact modular in-line system ulitises the same design concept as the new generation Synchrodex soldering cell and offers the user significantly reduced process time when compared to using a single soldering unit with on-board fluxing and preheat functions. It also provides a reduced footprint and cost savings over the conventional three module, fluxing, preheat and selective soldering work cell.
Description
The fluxer/preheat combo operates in tandem with the selective soldering unit and can be configured with either Drop-Jet or ultrasonic flux heads and both top and bottom side IR preheat functions. Twin pitch fluxheads are available for further cycle time reductions.
The machine utilizes an XY positioning system to position the flux head as required. A Drop-Jet flux head is supplied as standard with an ultrasonic head being ordered as an alternative or in addition to the standard head. Both systems provide precise control of the flux being deposited on the board.
Programming and control of the machine is via a PC using the Windows® based PillarCOMM software. Programs and machine configuration are protected by a customer selectable, multilevel password security system.
The machine is freely programmable to cater to different board layouts. Each flux joint is separately programmable to its own set of required parameters. The programming system employs a component data library enabling quantities of similar joints to use the same fluxing data outline. Visually assisted self-teach alignment allows for fast and accurate board programming.

Flexible, in-line, modular selective soldering system
Designed as a modular system, the Synchrodex range of in-line equipment offers the ultimate in flexibility with the ability to upgrade to high speed throughput when multiple modules are placed together.
Description
Supplied as standard with our patented design Drop-Jet fluxer, this system offers accurate, controlled flux deposition either prior to or during the optional top side preheat function. Preheat can be controlled via an optional top-side closed loop pyrometer system for optimum temperature profile regulation.
Our low maintenance solder bath and pump mechanism moves in three axes. Solder is applied using our proven technology single point AP nozzle design incorporating patented spiral solder return to bath technology offering increased wave stability with reduced potential for solder balls.
The system can also accommodate our latest generation micro nozzle, together with Jet-Wave, Wide-Wave and dedicated multi-tube single dip solder technology.
As with all Pillarhouse systems, the soldering process is enhanced by a hot Nitrogen curtain which provides an inert atmosphere for the soldering process and also assists in the prevention of oxidation. This process provides a local preheat to the joint thus reducing thermal shock to localised components.
The Synchrodex is controlled by a PC, through PillarCOMM, a Windows® based ‘Point & Click’ interface with PCB image display. Additionally, our PillarPAD offline package allows the operator to produce programs independently from the machine using Gerber data.

High speed, in-line, multi-platform selective soldering system
Incorporating high speed PCB transfer, the Orissa Fusion platform offers the ultimate in flexibility, coupled with reduced line length at a lower cost compared to current market offerings.
The standard four station cell can be configured to handle PCB’s up to 381mm x 460mm – fluxer, preheat, solder, solder. For high speed applications this same unit can be configured as fluxer/preheat and up to three solder modules with as many as five heater options.
Description
Product Description
An optional PCB transfer station and return conveyor enables product to be manually unloaded adjacent to the conveyor load station – this configuration reduces PCB handling capability to 381mm x 250mm.
Each solder cell can be configured with any of the currently available Pillarhouse solder technologies: custom-dip, multi-dip, Jet-Wave and single point AP down to the patented 1.5mm micro nozzle.
Easy, rapid non-contact solder pot changeover is facilitated via the optional heated pot exchange trolley.
