01
Slide soldering is programmed in a sequence of two steps. The first step is
the starting point and the second step is the end point.
02
The first step should be programmed approx. 1 mm away from the
terminal. This distance allows for any “lean” that the terminal to be
soldered may have.
03
The first solder step is programmed with a work profile in the WK 201 ~
WK 299 range. The 2 X X series tells the robot that this will be a slide
solder profile.
04
The second programmed step is programmed to touch both the anular
ring and the terminal to be soldered. The work profile for the final step of
each slide defaults to WK: 200 and cannot be changed.
05
When the first slide solder step is programmed, as soon as the WK: 2 X X
is entered, a set of brackets [ ] appear. A number has to be entered at this
time. This bracketed field is a timer delay to allow for feeding solder prior
to moving. The purpose of this is to allow the solder to start feeding so
that it contacts the tip as opposed to contacting the terminal. If the solder
were to contact the terminal first, it may not melt since the terminal is not
hot enough as the iron tip is not touching it.
A normal programmed delay time for this type of sliding is 01 ~ 03 =. The
setting of [01] means a delay of 0.1 seconds.
06
The ACK command (acknowledge) is programmed for all slide solder
operations. The purpose of this ACK command is to tell the robot that
ou
are slide soldering. Program the ACK command in the solder profile as
specified on page 02 (between lines 02 & 04)
07
When slide soldering, it is important to match the solder amount (S+) with
the feed speed. The meaning of this is that if the programmed solder
volume has been fed, the tip will retract. In the case of “short” slide
soldering as in the photo on page 01, normally you will not see this occur.
If it were to occur you can prevent this by either slowing down the feed
rate (S+ 4.5 SP 10.0), slow down the 10.0 mm / sec. to 7.5 or 5.0
08
The same amount of solder feed should be programmed for slide soldering
as for point soldering
09
When you use the delay feature and are feeding a small amount of solder
wire length, the feed may be exhausted and cause the iron tip to raise up
prematurely, please refer to step 07 to remedy this situation
10
Keep the programmed slide speed between 5 mm / sec. & 15 mm / sec., this
will prevent damage or premature wear to the iron tip or solder mask
