NEW ANTHEM LEAD TINNING SYSTEM

RPS have introduced a new military compliant Lead Tinning System
Anthem System Meets MIL, NASA, ANSI, IEC, GEIA Standards for Component Re-Tinning

RPS Automation LLC have shipped the first Anthem Lead Tinning System™ which has now been installed by Epak Electronics Ltd. It is a fully ANSI, MIL, IEC and GEIA compliant system. The Anthem is the first of its kind to offer this level of high reliability military standards compliance in a small-footprint and affordable package. The Anthem is suited for high precision, low-mid volume in-house re-tinning of electronic components and leads. 

The machine is designed with ease of use and maintenance, all while adding the new functionality to meet the complex requirements of the IEC and MIL standards.”

With two solder pots, the system is flexible and can be set up to run one pot with leaded solder and the second for lead-free solder or for different types of solder in each bath or even the same type if you wish. Removable badges are affixed to the solder pots indicating the type of solder (lead or lead free) in each bath.

The Anthem System is based on 15 years of RPS experience in building low and high volume lead tinning systems. The Anthem is a next generation platform that delivers the same durability and precision for which RPS is known. Anthem Features include:

• Flexible configurations: two (2) dynamic solder pots, pre-heat station, flux station

• Easy change Wave or Solder Bath nozzles - go from wave soldering to bath dipping in seconds.

• High precision ball screw drives for fast, quiet, durable motion control

• PID temperature control to meet precision thermal requirements

• Windows™ PC for rapid programming and unlimited program storage

• Programming control includes: solder temperature; dynamic solder flow; emersion depth acceleration, deceleration, and feed rate; dwell time; X and Z axes and optional rotary motion using the rotary tool head.

• Optional Dynamic Flux stations.

Easy operation using a Netbook PC allowing unlimited programming capacity and offering storage for as many thousands of different components and processes as you can think of.

Optional Dynamic Flux Pumps
