Jade Handex

Designed to meet the needs of lean manufacturing, the Jade Handex offers high-speed flexible throughput at minimal cost.

The Jade Handex is equipped with a revolutionary twin PCB rotary table transport system to allow simultaneous load/unload during product processing.

Description

Our new generation, patented Drop-Jet design fluxer offers quick and effective flushing of the pressurised flux chamber. This helps to keep Jade Handex maintenance levels to a minimum whilst enabling the use of higher solids content fluxes, as well as water-soluble fluxes.

As part of the entry-level philosophy for this system, a newly designed low maintenance solder bath and pump mechanism has been developed which moves in three axes of movement, whilst not limiting access to the PCB. Solder is applied using proven technology through our AP-1 nozzle design or custom specialised nozzles, incorporating patented spiral solder return-to-bath technology, offering reduced solder balling potential.

As with more sophisticated Pillarhouse systems, the soldering process is enhanced by an inerted hot Nitrogen curtain, providing an inert atmosphere for the soldering process, assisting the prevention of oxidation. This process provides a local pre-heat to the joint, thus reducing thermal shock to localised components.

The Jade Handex is controlled by a PC, through PillarCOMMX, 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.
