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.

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.
