The Elma Bustronic SMT line is over 40' long and includes an in-line printer, a pick-and-place SMT assembly machine, re-flow soldering system, and a multi-solvent backplane cleaning machine. Our customers benefit with faster turnaround times, increased volume and board complexity capabilities, and higher precision quality.




SMT2220 In-Line Printer

The production line utilizes a SMT2220 In-Line printer for pick-and-place SMT assembly. With accurate printer alignment vision systems, the line facilitates high-speeds with the most precise component alignment. Alignment accuracy tolerance is to .0008" (1 pass), with 640H x 480V frame grabber resolution.

Vitronics Soltec Thermal Processing System

The Vitronics Soltec XPM thermal processing system produces outstanding levels of uniformity and repeatability in solder re-flow. The heat convection is transferred through the body of the IC package and the PWB and directly into the solder joints. Their flux flow control system removes flux contaminants from each zone, resulting in clean heated tunnels.
