ACE Production Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of selective soldering systems, is pleased to announce that their new low cost KISS-101IL in-line selective soldering system is now available with expanded features and options.

The new KISS-101IL is outfitted with expanded capabilities including standard features such as an automated 2-point fiducial alignment and skew correction system, high-speed Z-axis, heated nitrogen system, a witness camera and automated spray fluxing system. Available options include a drop-jet fluxing system, additional witness camera, dual LED monitors, topside preheating, an in-line fluxing and preheating module, offline programming and a 75mm wide wave nozzle allowing the KISS-101IL to function as a wave soldering machine.

“The KISS-101IL is a fully-configured SMEMA compatible selective soldering platform equipped with “Super Quick” processing speeds and when equipped with a drop-jet flux applicator can handle a range of flux chemistries including low pH fluxes down to 2.0 as well as fluxes with solids content as high as 35%,” said Alan Cable President of ACE Production Technologies. “The KISS-101IL comes standard with the ACE automated fiducial location and correction system that provides single click fiducial teach capability, seamless fiducial recognition and true automated alignment and skew correction of the printed circuit board.”

Cable added, “Other innovative features include the new SWAK-OS machine operating software which is a revolutionary graphics-based programming and editing machine control system that features fast program loading and program recall with minimal operator intervention. A major benefit of the SWAK-OS is the integrated board scanning function that automatically captures and saves an image of a printed circuit board to the selective soldering program.”
