Advantages of Laser Soldering
Contact vs Non-contact
Contact
Possible Stress
• Physical contact to the substrate
• Flux residue (carbide)
Dead Space
• It is necessary to secure space for the tip and solder wire feed.
Solder Amount
• There is a certain amount of solder that is brought to the wet surface of the tip.
Laser
Possible Stress
• No physical contact
• No carbide
Dead Space
• It is necessary to secure just solder wire feeding space
• Solder paste
• Any type of preform are approachable
Solder Amount
• Fed solder properly amounts

FAQ
Q: What are the most common reasons to select laser soldering technologies?
A: Micro Soldering (0.02mm spot), non-contact (allows for reflow only), no iron tip consumables, automatic spot size change.
Q: Is laser soldering faster than contact soldering?
A: Laser soldering can be slightly faster because it eliminates some mechanical movement or when used only to reflow.
Q: Does Japan Unix maintain FDA safety approval to sell laser machines in the US?
A: Absolutely
Q: How are the laser positions programmed?
A: Japan Unix was the first company to develop laser soldering more than a decade ago with the patented direct line-of-sight teaching camera that allows you to look directly through the laser beam. This makes teaching easy and avoid inaccuratie due to angle distortion.
Q: Does Japan Unix offer pyrometer modulated power controls (power cruse control)?
A: Yes, Japan Unix is the leader in direct temperature measured laser control.
