Ultra-flexible, offline, multi-platform selective soldering system

Designed to meet the needs of the small batch manufacturer who requires high levels of production flexibility. The Jade Pro offers the ability to regularly change solder bath alloys without incurring expensive down time, whilst the solder bath cools down and heats up during a regular manual changeover process.

The Jade Pro is a handload system, incorporating a universally adjustable tooling carrier capable of accommodating PCBs or pallets up to 457mm x 508mm.

As standard, the Jade Pro is configured with our Duplex twin solder bath arrangement. This twin independent Z axis solder bath arrangement offers increased production flexibility by permitting use of two different nozzle tip sizes within any single process programme, which can be allocated as process requirements dictate within any particular area on a PCB. Alternatively, different solder alloys can be utilised within this single machine setup.

The Jade Pro series is controlled by a PC, through PillarCOMM, a Windows® based ‘Point & Click’ interface with PCB image display. Additionally, our PillarPAD offline programming package allows the operator to produce programs independently from the machine using Gerber data.
