Intelligent Solder Paste Handling Solution

SMD BOX SP

SMD BOX SP is an automated solder paste handling system. Solder paste is a vital part of the SMT process, and maintaining its original nature is essential. Proper handling reduces waste and eliminates process risks.

Specifications

SMD BOX SP: Advanced Solder Paste Handling Solution

The SMD BOX SP is designed to provide a comprehensive, automated solution for handling solder paste in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) manufacturing process. With features aimed at optimizing solder paste storage, mixing, and release, the SMD BOX SP ensures consistency, accuracy, and efficiency throughout the production line.

Product Features

  1. Refrigeration Area
    Solder paste is highly sensitive to temperature, and improper storage can affect its performance. The SMD BOX SP offers a refrigerated storage area that maintains an optimal temperature range of 5-10°C to ensure solder paste remains in ideal condition for use.

  2. Ambient Temperature Area
    Solder paste should not be used while cold. It needs to reach ambient temperature before breaking the seal of the package, typically requiring four to six hours. The ambient temperature area in the SMD BOX SP is programmable for convenience.

  3. Internal Mixer
    The SMD BOX SP features an internal mixer that ensures an even distribution of any separated materials within the solder paste. The user can control the mixer speed and timing for optimal consistency.

  4. Automated Release & Traceability
    The system allows scheduled release of solder paste to the production line and ensures traceability throughout the process. Traceability is critical for quality control and tracking the entire process from receiving to use.


Solder Paste Handling Process

The SMD BOX SP follows a precise sequence for the safe handling and storage of solder paste, ensuring optimal performance and reducing errors during the production process.

Solder Paste Handling Guidelines

Proper solder paste handling is crucial for maintaining the paste’s performance. Below are some guidelines to follow:

  • Temperature: Store solder paste at 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). Avoid high temperatures which can degrade flux, or low temperatures which can cause paste thickening.
  • Humidity: Maintain humidity levels below 60%. Excessive moisture can lead to paste degradation.
  • Light: Store in a dark place to prevent light degradation.
  • Shelf Life: Use within the manufacturer’s recommended time frame for optimal performance.
  • Containers: Use airtight containers to protect against moisture and contaminants.
