Jade MK IV

Entry-level single point selective soldering system

With all the proven features of the Jade Mk II, the Jade Mk IV sets even higher standards of performance.

Designed to meet the needs of the small/medium batch manufacturer who requires high levels of production flexibility, the Jade MK IV entry-level system offers uncompromised selective soldering quality at a very low cost.

The Jade MK IV is a hand load system, incorporating a universally adjustable tooling carrier capable of accommodating PCB’s or pallets up to 508x610mm (20×24″).

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

説明

As part of the entry-level philosophy for this system, a 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 nozzle design or custom specialised nozzles, incorporating patented spiral solder return to bath technology offering reduced solder balling potential.

As with all Pillarhouse systems, the soldering process is enhanced by a hot Nitrogen curtain which provides an inert atmosphere. This method of soldering also assists in the prevention of oxidisation and provides a local preheat to the joint, thus reducing thermal shock to localised components.

The Jade MK IV is controlled by a PC, through Enhanced 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.
