Automatic-feed soldering station without wire perforation, 150 W, 0.45 to 0.56 mm wire - JBC ALE-205A

On fine pitch joints the amount of solder decides whether a bridge forms or the pad stays open. The ALE-205A feeds 0.45 to 0.56 mm solder wire automatically at 55 mm/s, so every joint gets the same amount. Both hands stay free for component and assembly.

Benefits in detail

• 150 W of heating power and a working range of 90 to 450 °C, so ground planes and connectors are soldered through in a short contact time.
• Version without wire perforation, matched to the 0.45 to 0.56 mm wire diameter and therefore to fine and medium solder volumes.
• Feed speed of 55 mm/s and three working modes, namely continuous, alternating and programming mode with adjustable speed and wire length.
• Takes solder wire spools of up to 2 kg, maximum 100 mm in height and 100 mm in diameter, which cuts the number of spool changes per shift.
• Data interface with remote access for traceability and software updates, so process data stays on record.
• Guide kit GALE05D-A for 0.45 to 0.56 mm is fitted at the factory, further kits for other wire diameters are available separately.
• The ALE250 automatic iron and the complete C250 tip range work on this station, so a change of tip shape takes seconds.

Technical data

Applications

Fine soldering on SMD assemblies with small pitch, on sensors, camera and connector modules as well as in laboratory and prototype work. Wherever a small and always identical solder volume is required.

Compatibility and scope of delivery
