Wire feeders

Precise wire feeders for selective soldering tasks

EUTECT offers wire feeders for different wire thicknesses for feeding wires into different applications.

Benefit

Wire feeders are necessary for reliable solder bath level control of mini wave soldering systems, but also for feeding wires in other manufacturing processes. For this purpose, the feed must be available for different wire thicknesses.

Performance

In addition to the regulated wire feeder SWF, EUTECT also offers unregulated wire feeders for different wire thicknesses. These are used, among other things, for automatic solder bath level control for refilling the mini wave soldering modules. The wire feeder feeds solder wire into the solder tank to automatically keep the solder level constant. The presence of the wire is checked by means of an integrated wire sensor.

Product highlights

Wire sensor recognises the presence of the wire
Reliably conveys different wire thicknesses (1.5 - 6.0 mm)
Used for refilling the mini wave soldering modules from EUTECT
Can be used outside the electronics industry in system integration

Functionality of the wire feed systems

The wire feed systems from EUTECT are based on a precise mechanism that makes it possible to feed wires of different diameters into the soldering process. This ensures a constant supply to the solder bath. This is particularly important when mini wave soldering modules are used.

A special feature of the EUTECT wire feeders is the integrated sensor system, which continuously monitors the presence of the wire and enables an uninterrupted process. If the wire runs out, the system reports this immediately. This means that it can be refilled in good time. As downtimes can therefore be minimised, the system contributes to the efficiency of production processes.

Innovation and future viability

EUTECT is committed to continuously innovating the field of wire feed systems. Close cooperation with customers plays a central role in this. The systems are constantly being developed through intensive dialogue and based on feedback from practical experience. Adapting to new materials, technologies and requirements is an essential part of the company's philosophy.

Flexibility for different applications

EUTECT offers its wire feed systems in various designs to meet the different requirements of its customers. The systems can process wires with diameters from 1.5 mm to 6.0 mm, which makes them particularly versatile. The range of wire feeders makes it possible to use them in various industries and applications. They are therefore not only used in electronics production, but also in industries that require high-precision soldering processes.

The flexible wire feed systems can be easily integrated into existing production lines, which is a major advantage. Regardless of whether new production processes or retrofits in existing systems are involved. The customisable EUTECT systems are easy to implement.

Precision and stability

Precision is of crucial importance in the highly sensitive soldering processes used in electronics production. Even the smallest inaccuracies can lead to incorrectly produced connections and therefore to production errors and rejects. The wire feed systems from EUTECT guarantee precise control of the wire feed, ensuring that the right amount of soldering material is always available.

Another aspect that emphasises the reliability of EUTECT wire feeders is their long service life. The systems are designed for continuous use under demanding conditions and are characterised by their robustness and low maintenance requirements. This reduces operating costs. In addition, production lines run continuously and trouble-free.

Possible applications and industries

The wire feed systems from EUTECT are used in numerous industries and are particularly indispensable in electronics production, where high-precision and reliable solder connections are required. However, they are also used in the automotive industry, in medical and sensor technology and in aerospace technology. EUTECT wire feeders are therefore the ideal solution wherever high-quality soldered joint are required.

FAQs

What is wire feed in selective soldering?

A Wire feeder guides a plumb line or other wires in a controlled manner along a Soldering or manufacturing process . In selective soldering, for example, it can be used to feed solder wire into the process in a controlled manner or to automatically maintain a constant solder level in a mini-wave soldering module.

What role does a wire feeder play in mini-wave soldering?

At the Mini wave soldering A wire feeder can be used for automatic solder bath level control. This involves feeding solder wire into the solder tank as required. In this way, the required solder level can be maintained at a constant level throughout production.

What wire diameters can be processed using EUTECT wire feeders?

The unregulated wire feed systems EUTECT’s conveyors are designed for a range of wire diameters. Depending on the model, wires with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 6.0 mm can be conveyed reliably.

How can you tell if there is still wire left in the wire feeder?

An integrated wire sensor monitors whether the wire is present. If the wire is running low or has run out, the system can detect this. This enables process interruptions to be identified at an early stage and helps to reduce unplanned downtime.

What is the difference between a regulated and an unregulated wire feed?

A unregulated wire feed is primarily responsible for the specified feeding of the wire, for example to refill a wire feed tank. A controlled wire feed such as the Sensitive Wire Feeder (SWF) EUTECT also monitors relevant process parameters. The SWF operates with force and position control and can therefore, amongst other things, detect whether a wire arrives correctly at the intended process position.

When is a controlled wire feed advisable?

A controlled wire feed It is particularly useful for demanding brazing processes where precise, reproducible and monitored wire feed is required. This applies, for example, to laser brazing, induction brazing and piston brazing, as well as high-precision micro-brazing applications.

Can wire feeders be integrated into existing production lines?

Yes. The Wire feed systems Depending on the application and plant design, EUTECT systems can be integrated into both new manufacturing systems and existing production facilities. The specific design is determined by the process, the wire, the installation conditions and the automation concept.

Are wire feeders used only in electronics manufacturing?

No. As well as electronics manufacturing, we can Wire feed systems can, in principle, also be used in other industrial manufacturing processes where wires need to be fed automatically and in a reproducible manner. The system is designed to suit the specific application.

Which wire feed is suitable for high-precision brazing processes?

For applications with high demands on process reliability and reproducibility, EUTECT offers the Sensitive Wire Feeder (SWF). This system regulates the wire feed in terms of both force and travel, thereby enabling controlled wire feeding for demanding soldering processes.
