Abstract
A soldering apparatus includes a soldering chamber having a soldering region. A transfer actuator passes through the soldering region. The transfer actuator is configured to move a substrate on which an electronic component is disposed into and out of the soldering region. A light source is disposed in the soldering chamber and casts light toward the soldering region. A shutter is disposed between the soldering region and the light source, and opens and closes a path of the light cast from the light source toward the soldering region. A controller is connected to the transfer actuator and the shutter and controls an opening and closing operation of the shutter.
Claims20
A soldering apparatus, comprising:
- a soldering chamber having a soldering region defined therein;
- a transfer actuator disposed within the soldering region, the transfer actuator being configured to move a substrate on which an electronic component is disposed into and out of the soldering region;
- a light source disposed within the soldering chamber, the light source configured to cast light toward the soldering region;
- a shutter disposed between the soldering region and the light source in the soldering chamber, the shutter movable in the soldering chamber and configured to open and close a path of the light of the light source that is cast toward the soldering region;
- and
- a controller connected to the transfer actuator and the shutter, the controller configured to control an opening and closing operation of the shutter.
