Used ROBOTIC PROCESS SYSTEMS / RPS Rhythm #9084155 for sale

ROBOTIC PROCESS SYSTEMS / RPS Rhythm is an automated soldering technology that is used to assemble printed circuit boards (PCBs) with high levels of repeatability and speed. This technology combines a robotic arm with a soldering head to accurately deposit a precise amount of solder onto component pins at high speeds. The entire process is handled by a highly reliable and repeatable robotic system. The robot is typically designed with a robotic arm mounted on an 'X' and 'Y' axis. As the PCB moves through the machine, the robotic arm follows a programmed pattern, effortlessly soldering each component pin as required. Two of the most commonly used soldering heads are soldering iron and soldering pin. The soldering iron is capable of performing wetting, tinning and fluxing operations as well as applying the solder bead. The soldering pin uses an internal heating element that is embedded in the tip of the pin to melt the solder and deposit it quickly and evenly onto the component pin. Robotic soldering systems take a significant amount of set-up time to dial in the exact parameters needed for each pin type and component. The principle of tuning a robotic process system is to start with a generic and optimized program, then tweak it to meet the characteristics of each individual pin and component. During the programming process, several variables are adjusted, such as the power of the soldering head, the speed of motion, the delay between each soldering operation, and the duration of the soldering cycle. The actual process for setting up a robotic soldering process is complicated and requires considerable experience. This is usually done with the help of special design tools such as RobCAD. Once the parameters have been established, the program can be entered and tested. If any errors are found, the program can be re-programmed and tested again. Once all adjustments are complete, the machine is ready to go. The robotic arm will quickly and accurately move over the PCB and solder pins in position. The accuracy and repeatability of the robot is unparalleled, allowing complex boards to be assembled with ease. The speed, accuracy and repeatability of robotic soldering systems make them the perfect solution for high-volume and high-precision assembly operations.
