A new software tool that makes selective soldering set-up very fast and simple has been developed exclusively by Vitronics Soltec. With the Easyteach software, an operator uses a simple graphic image of the assembly - a JPEG or flat scan - to program the soldering sequence for any assembly in a matter of minutes with a few mouse clicks, according to the company.
Anyone who can use a simple photo editing program, or lay out a newsletter, can quickly master Easyteach, it claims. No specialised CAD tools, sophisticated training, or computer programming abilities are needed. Easyteach begins with a simple graphic image of the PCB that will be soldered. Then, the user simply selects fluxing and soldering points on the image, mouse clicks to mark the fluxing and soldering points, and the program automatically sets up the fluxing and soldering sequence in a matter of minutes. Sets of sequences can be copied or duplicated for multiple boards, and the program automatically calculates the path and sequence for the soldering points. The operator merely marks the sites to be soldered and indicates the board's outer dimensions.
Using Easyteach, a single operator can actually teach the machine a soldering recipe in approximately the same time that it takes for the automated machine to solder only three assemblies, according to the company.
Easyteach is an integral part of Vitronics Soltec's new mySelective 6745, an in-line capable, compact, modular selective soldering system intended for medium volume, high-mix assembly.
