BRUSH CLEANER: AUTOMATIC SOLDERING TIP CLEANER FOR LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE

Soldering can leave behind stubborn residues—like carbides, tin oxides, and other impurities—that accumulate on the iron tip and gradually reduce its effectiveness. Over time, this buildup can interfere with heat transfer and affect soldering consistency. Regular cleaning is essential to keeping tips in good condition and ensuring reliable thermal performance.

The Brush Cleaner from Japan Unix offers a smart and efficient way to clean soldering tips automatically. Designed for production environments, this unit helps remove hard-to-clean residues without interrupting workflow or requiring manual effort.

At the core of the Brush Cleaner is a set of durable silicone brushes that gently clean the tip surface while minimizing wear. Their wide design makes tip alignment easy, and since the brush wear is clearly visible, it’s simple to know when they need replacing. For tougher debris or high-residue applications, metal brushes can be swapped in as needed.

Standard Feeder

The "Standard Feeder" from Japan Unix is typically used in robotic soldering systems to automate the process of feeding solder wire to the soldering tip. Available in High-Precision Version.

Clean Cut Feeder

The feeder’s notching technology reduces flux dispersal and solder balls, preventing manufacturing issues like flux splatter. Available in High-Precision Version.

Brush Cleaner

Automated cleaner for irons tip that removes carbides, stannous tin oxides, and other impurities caused from soldering operations. This ensures that the soldering tips maintain optimal thermal conductivity and performance.

Tip Position Corrector

Adjusts tip slippage caused from thermal expansion, burning out or others. It never requires resetting conditions or reconfiguration. Its fully automated. Managing unexpected slippage is essential for maintaining consistent quality.

Uni-Tester

Accurately measure soldering iron tip temperature, tip-to-ground potential, and tip-to-ground resistance. Features a separate sensor unit, RS232C data output, and compliance with MIL-STD-2000A, IPC J-STD-001G, and IEC 61191-1 (Ed.3/2018).

Fiducial Correction

Revolutionize your robotic soldering with our cutting-edge Fiducial Correction Vision System, ensuring pinpoint accuracy and seamless precision based on fiducial marks.

Traceability

Enhance traceability in manufacturing and logistics by providing accurate and reliable data capture, ensuring that each product or component can be tracked through every stage of the production process.

AOI Vision Sensor

High-Performance Vision Sensor with AI capabilities.
1.Presence/Absence detection of features, patterns, edges, and circles.
2.Ethernet communication with TCP/IP, Profinet, ethernet/IP, SLMP, and FTP for saving data.

Fixturing

Specifically designed to hold, support, and position parts or assemblies during operations like machining, soldering, or inspection. Tailor made fixturing to ensure repeatability for your process.

Airblow

Air blower, vacuum type. Reduces debris scattering. Built-in solenoid valve. It uses compressed air to blow away unwanted particles, which helps in maintaining a clean and efficient soldering process.

Flux Dispensing

We precisely apply flux - a chemical cleaning agent - onto a printed circuit board (PCB) before soldering. Flux removes oxidation and prepares the metal surfaces for a stronger, more reliable solder bond.

Fume Extractor

Effectively remove harmful dust, smoke, and fumes right at the source, ensuring clean, safety-compliant air.

Lock-on Mechanism

Secure the wire solder feed in a fixed position and avoid common defects caused by feed misalignment.

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.
