Classic soldering iron

mta’s classic iron head for soldering robots is our most popular soldering technology, likely because many customers are upgrading from hand-soldering with the iron. This solution is not only ideal but also cost-effective, as it requires less skill and training than manual soldering. As a result, it ensures greater stability and repeatability of the soldering process.

Moreover, we can offer turnkey solutions by integrating the classic iron head for soldering robots on any of our standard soldering platforms including: MRC500, TR300, OEM and station.

7 reasons to choose the mta classic soldering iron

1. The soldering tip is separate from the heating element, so users do not need to change the heating element as frequently as the tip. Therefore, this reduces consumable cost.
2. A pneumatically-dampened spring lowers the tip to allow compliance between the tip and part. This provides good thermal transfer while protecting the parts and tip. Also, the robot does not use the z-axis to move the iron tip.
3. There are no stamped sheet metal or die-cast parts. We machined the robust head structure from solid material to provide a rigid platform for the iron and wire feeder.
4. The clamping system provides easy adjustment and precise alignment. Once tightened, the position will not change until loosened – there is no risk of accidental misalignment as a result of heavy use or while changing tips.
5. We mounted our precise jam-free wire feeder directly on the head – at the solder joint. Consequently, this provides tight process control of the wire feed. Solder wire does not kink or get jammed since there is no long feed tube. Once the correct amount is fed, the wire feeder pulls the wire out of the solder pool to prevent solder spatter.
6. We integrated the fume extraction nozzle into the head itself. Therefore, it is mounted directly above the solder joint to safely remove fumes.
7. In addition to the iron, wire feeder and fume extraction nozzle, the head can support several optional devices such as: cameras, flux dispensers, dual feeders, dual irons and the list goes on.
