Soldering
Soldering robots and automation
- Selection criteria
- Hot air and rework stations
- Preheaters and bottom heaters
- JBC soldering technology
This category covers the hardware for automated and robotic soldering: automatic soldering irons, soldering heads, solder wire feeders, tip cleaners, cartridge changers and soldering tips designed for robot operation. The range is built around JBC and complemented by Quick robot soldering tools and feed tubes for the ET94xxF-A soldering robots. Components differ mainly in the tip series (R245, or R470 for high-power tips), in the wire diameter handled by the SFR-B feeder from Ø 0.5 to 1.6 mm, and in how they connect to the line controller, for example via the RS-232 serial multiplexer.
Narrow down the range by manufacturer, ESD version or tip shape.

How to choose Soldering robots and automation
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | What to check | Example from the range |
|---|---|---|
| Tip series | Iron and tip must belong to the same series: R245, or R470 for high-power tips. | TRA245-B (pneumatically actuated), TRA470-B |
| Tip shape | Conical or pin connector for single joints, chisel or grooved chisel for rows, twin tip for drag soldering. | R245012 Ø 3.5 mm 20°, R470018 grooved chisel 2.5 x 1 mm 15°, R470026 twin tip 0.75 mm |
| Wire diameter | Inlet nozzle, needle, guide roller and guide tube of the feeder must match the solder wire in use. | SFR-B inlet nozzles from Ø 0.5 mm (0030535) to 1.5 mm (0030540), guide roller 1.6 mm (0025922) |
| Guide length and perforation | Choose the length to suit the distance between feeder and soldering head; kits are available with or without wire perforation. | GSFR15V03-B 0.3 m, GSFR12V05-B 500 mm, GSFR10V10-B 1000 mm, GSFR16D05-B without perforation |
| Tip care and changing | For longer unattended runs, plan for tip cleaning and automatic tip changing. | Tip cleaner CLMR-PA with fibre brushes 24 V, cartridge changer CS2R470-B |
| Interface and inert gas | Check the interface to the line controller and, if required, nitrogen supply at the soldering tool. | Multiplexer SMR-A RS-232, Quick 9018BMT with N2 connection for soldering station 378FA |
