Extended Convection Preheat for High-Speed Production

The 45.400 is built for demanding production environments, featuring an extended 1.8 m convection preheat system designed to support higher conveyor speeds without compromising thermal stability.

• Three independent zones: fine-tuned thermal control for complex assemblies
• Optimized for high-mass PCBs: consistent heating across large or dense boards
• Optional top-side heating: enhanced balance for sensitive applications

A Windows-based control platform provides real-time visibility and full profile management for repeatable results.

External Fluxing System for Cleaner Operation

Unlike traditional designs, the 45.400 separates the fluxing process from the heating chamber, improving both performance and serviceability.

• Servo-driven spray system: accurate, repeatable flux application
• Low-pressure atomization: consistent coating with reduced overspray
• Isolated flux zone: prevents contamination inside the preheat section

An integrated filtration and reclamation system captures and reuses flux, lowering consumption while keeping the system cleaner over time.

Precision Wave Control for Consistent Results

The dual-wave configuration is engineered for stability and repeatability across a wide range of board types.

• Turbulent chip wave: ensures complete hole fill
• Smooth main wave: removes excess solder for clean joints
• Selectable wave modes: adapt to SMT or through-hole processes

Transducer-controlled drive systems maintain stable wave height, while smart automation features reduce unnecessary operation and material waste.

High-Capacity Solder System with Rapid Change Capability

At the core of the 45.400 is a large-capacity titanium solder pot designed for continuous, high-volume operation.

• ~420 kg capacity: supports extended production runs
• Carriage-mounted design: simplified access for maintenance
• Motorized positioning: controlled movement for service and setup

An optional second pot enables fast transitions between solder alloys, ideal for mixed-production environments.

Advanced Options for Process Optimization

The 45.400 can be configured to meet higher performance requirements through optional atmosphere and cooling enhancements.

• Nitrogen capability: improves wettability and reduces oxidation
• Sealed thermal design: minimizes gas consumption
• Oxygen monitoring: maintains process consistency

• Enhanced cooling systems: tighter control over solidification
• Optional external chiller: supports aggressive cooling profiles

Integrated Handling for Continuous Production

Optional inlet and unload conveyors allow the 45.400 to integrate seamlessly into automated production lines.

• Adjustable conveyors: match line height, speed, and angle
• Controlled transfer: protects assemblies post-soldering
• Flexible configuration: supports a wide range of workflows
