The Airblow is a vacuum-type air blower that uses compressed air to remove dust and debris, keeping your soldering workspace clean and efficient. Designed with a built-in solenoid valve, it helps prevent debris from scattering during operation, improving precision and reducing cleanup time.

HOW IT WORKS
Vacuum System | Inside the unit is a small vacuum system that creates suction. As it pulls in air, it also draws in dust, flux residue, and small debris from around the soldering point. This helps clear the area, especially around delicate electronic components.
Compressed Air Jet | At the same time, the blower uses compressed air to blow away particles from the soldering zone. This concentrated air stream ensures that debris doesn’t stick to or interfere with sensitive parts, which could otherwise cause poor connections or short circuits.
Built-In Solenoid Valve | A key feature is the built-in solenoid valve. This controls exactly when and how much air is released. It gives you better control over airflow, so you can clean the area without disturbing the soldering process or moving components by accident.

- Advantages of Airblow in Robotic Soldering
Advantages
KEEPS YOUR SPACE CLEAN
By constantly removing dust and loose particles, the air blower helps maintain a tidy soldering area. This lowers the risk of contamination that could ruin your solder joints.
SAVES TIME
Since the blower keeps the area clean while you work, you won’t have to spend as much time cleaning up afterward. It’s a built-in cleaning assistant.
WORK MORE ACCURATELY
A clean soldering surface means you can see better and work more precisely, especially when dealing with small components or surface-mount technology (SMT).
REDUCES MISTAKES AND REWORK
By preventing debris from interfering with solder joints, the blower helps avoid common problems like cold joints or solder bridges—issues that often require time-consuming repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of contact soldering?
Consistently high quality joints, lower operator skill, up to 2x productivity.
Is robotic soldering faster than hand soldering?
Yes, a robotic soldering process is typically faster because an operator can load while the robot is simultaneously soldering.
I have a high product mix. How do I address fixturing?
AFancort is an expert fixture designer with the ability to develop quick change and flexible fixturing options.
Does Japan Unix/Fancort offer in-line turn-key solutions?
Absolutely, Japan Unix and Fancort can both offer solutions for high volume processes including assembly, inspection and other ancillary processes.
What is the typical Japan Unix tip life? How much do tips costs?
Japan Unix tips provide industry-leading tip life in the range of 20,000 — 25,000 hits depending on the application. Tips are typically half the cost of competitive offerings with integrated heating elements.
How do I determine if my application is a good candidate for robotic soldering?
Fancort offers free application reviews. If the process meets our standards then we proceed to a consultative proof of concept phase where we may run samples and develop fixturing concepts.
