Ant-i1
A compact entry into automated offline selective soldering.
The Ant-i1 is a compact standalone system for small and medium-sized assemblies. A drop-jet fluxer, bottom IR preheating, one soldering station and live process monitoring support a controlled offline process.

the difference.
Ant-i1: compact process technology for changing assemblies and offline operation.
Standard equipment
9 features1 mechanical solder pump
One lead-free-compatible titanium solder pot with a mechanical pump directs solder to the programmed joints.
1 drop-jet fluxer
Flux is applied locally and in a controlled manner to the defined areas of the assembly.
Bottom IR preheating
Bottom preheating prepares the PCB, components and flux thermally for soldering.
Nitrogen heating
Heated nitrogen supports the process atmosphere directly at the nozzle.
Automatic wave-height calibration
The system supports repeatable adjustment of the solder-wave height.
Live camera
The soldering process can be monitored on screen during operation.
Servo-controlled X/Y/Z axes
The motion axes guide the fluxer and soldering process along the programmed paths.
Industrial PC
Programs, solder points and travel paths are created and managed on the integrated user interface.
Maintenance and traceability
The software supports maintenance information and manufacturing-process documentation.
The specific equipment and utility requirements are defined in the quotation for the assembly and application.

A clear view of fluxing and soldering.
The process views show local flux application and the monitored soldering area of the Ant-i1.
Assess application and integration.
PCB format is the first filter. Access, thermal demand and required cycle time determine actual suitability.
Application
The compact offline cell suits prototypes, NPI, small batches and changing assemblies with defined through-hole joints.
Integration
Loading and unloading are manual. Utilities, extraction, support or carrier and nozzle selection are matched to the assembly.
Limits and sample trial
One fluxer and one solder pump process the programmed locations sequentially. Cycle time, wetting, thermal profile and component limits must be checked on a sample.
