How Laser Soldering Works And Why You Should Be Interested
Laser soldering is a non-contact process that eliminates the risk of marring or damaging sensitive components. Robots are capable of producing micro-sized laser beams for otherwise difficult applications too small for iron tip soldering. Our advanced optical technology provides a reliable solution for micro and narrow pitched parts used in high-density electronic equipment.
The laser soldering process depends on the type of solder to be used (wire, pre-form or paste). In the case of solder wire, laser irradiation is performed in advance to the joint area (pre-heating). This is the most important process in order to wet and allow the solder to flow easily when supplying the solder wire to the joint area.
J-CAT STAR GATE
This robot is non-contact soldering that heats up the target with a high energy light emitted from an oscillated laser diode and is focused with a lens. It is an 80Watt laser with an infrared wavelength of 925nm. The Stargate has has an infrared pyrometer option that provides real-time temperature control.

Dispensing
Solder Paste Dispensers
Achieve ultimate small volume stability with precision nozzels. Dispensing technology provides an alternative to the classic wire feed approach. Dispensers allow for a precise amount of solder paste to be evenly distributed in micro amounts. This approach eliminates waste and increases cost effectiveness.
Laser Lenses
Lenses
The type of lens to form a laser beam is composed of two components, the “Input lens” and “Output lens”. With the combination of these lenses, over 100 diameter variations can be achieved.
