Our Brazing and Soldering Services
Automated brazing equipment is specialized equipment used in the process of brazing, where two or more metal parts are joined together using a filler material that melts at a higher temperature than solder but lower than the melting point of the base materials.
The equipment automates the brazing process with robotics and controllers while ensuring precision, repeatability, and high-quality joints for manufacturing applications.
Brazing and Soldering Benefits
Cost Savings
- Labor Savings: Automation reduces the need for highly skilled manual labor, thereby saving on labor costs and minimize the risk of human error.
- Material Savings: Automation equipment can be optimized to use the proper amount of filler and flux material, thereby reducing waste and material costs.
Quality
- Repeatability and Precision: Automated systems ensure that each joint is created under the same conditions leading to reduced variation and consistent quality.
- Reduced Human Error: Automated systems eliminate the variability in manual brazing, such as inconsistent temperatures, differences in technique, human fatigue, and handling errors.
Increased Throughput
- Faster Production: Automation brazing equipment is generally much faster than manual brazing. The ability to handle multiple joints and/or parts simultaneously can increase throughput and increase overall efficiency.
- Consistency: Automated systems increase throughput and is achieved due to minimal downtime and reduced operator involvement.
Improved Safety
- Reduced exposure: Brazing often involves potentially dangerous fumes, high temperatures and hazardous materials. Automation minimizes the direct involvement of operators enhancing worker safety.
- Controlled Environment: Automated brazing equipment can be integrated into controlled environments such as furnaces and robotic cells which can regulate temperature, gas flow , reducing risks of accidental exposure.
Scalability
- Integration with other systems: Automated brazing/soldering systems can be integrated with other systems (inspection, assembly, or packaging) allowing manufacturers to create streamlined production lines.
- Scalable Production: As demand grows, automated equipment can be easily scaled to accommodate higher volumes or different SKU’s, providing flexibility for future production needs.
