ACE Production Technologies continues to advance the science of Selective Soldering, and increase productivity, with the launch of the next-generation KISS-205 fully in-line automated Selective Soldering system.

The unique KISS-205 effectively splits the process of fluxing, preheating and soldering to significantly gain productivity by reducing TAKT by up to 50% vs. incremental processing. This more efficient dual-lane processing scheme with ‘crossover’ sequencing effectively shaves time off preheating, fluxing, and soldering sequences, waiting times that are unavoidable in linear incremental processing, and allows higher throughput and higher volume processing.

The KISS-205 is a fully configured In-Line SMEMA compatible Selective Soldering machine, offering the following innovative standard features:
• “Super Quick” motion with closed loop position feedback with linear encoders for fastest processing times;

• Rapid setup and time to “first production” with the intuitive KISSware off-line programming using jpeg or scanned images or Gerber files or on the machine “teach” functions;

• Dual universal PCB edge conveyor with program-controlled width adjustment, positive PCB location and PCB flattening;

• Dual pre-heater modules that are independently controlled with optical pyrometers;

• Automated fiducial XY and skew correction;

• Volumetric spray fluxer and Drop jet fluxer; and many more.
