ProcessMate™ 6100 Hot Air Reflow System

Reduce Variability, Rework and Scrap While Increasing Productivity

The comprehensive EFD/Leister package system includes EFD SolderPlus paste, the EFD Ultra TT robot, the EFD ProcessMate(TM) 6500 temperature control system, and the Leister Novolas(TM) diode laser, all housed in a laser-safe certified cabinet. These various system components can be bought individually and in any combination a customer's process requires. However, the complete EFD/Leister automation-soldering package delivers what is believed to be the best one-stop self-contained reflow solution on the market today."Our customers," he continued, "especially like the fact that training on the job is accomplished in hours not weeks, and the entire system is usually up and running on site in only one or two days. At times, we have gone from box to reflow between morning coffee and the afternoon break."The major advantage of this heater technology is that the soldering iron can never exceed the maximum temperature determined by the thickness and composition of the magnetic coating. This also eliminates any opportunity for unauthorized tampering with the tip temperature, for example, if an operator seeks to increase the tip temperature for Pb-free soldering.EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- EFD, Inc, A Nordson Company, announces the ProcessMate([TM]) 6100, a digital bench top reflow system that accurately controls air temperature within tight tolerances required for controlled solder paste reflow. When used with EFD SolderPlus([R]) dispensing solder paste, the ProcessMate 6100 reduces operator variability, rework and scrap while increasing productivity and production yields without special training requirements typical of wire-and-iron soldering.
