Abstract
The invention relates to a soldering module (3) for the, in particular selective, soldering of components to a circuit board (14), having a soldering nozzle (32) for creating a solder wave. It is proposed that the soldering module (3) comprises a linear conveyor (8), in particular a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, for applying solder to the circuit board (14) by moving the circuit board (14) in a conveying direction over the solder wave, and that the linear conveyor (8) is tiltable, in particular about a first tilting axis (23).
Claims15
A soldering module for the soldering of components to a circuit board, having a soldering nozzle for creating a solder wave,
- the soldering module comprising a linear conveyor including one of a belt conveyor and a chain conveyor, for applying solder to the circuit board by moving the circuit board in a conveying direction over the solder wave, and in that the linear conveyor is tiltable about a first tilting axis,
- wherein the first tilting axis is oriented substantially perpendicularly to a direction of gravitational force and substantially perpendicularly to a conveying direction or substantially parallel to the conveying direction,
- wherein the linear conveyor is tiltable about a second tilting axis, wherein the second tilting axis is oriented substantially normal to the direction of gravitational force, and
- wherein the first tilting axis and/or the second tilting axis extends through the solder wave.
