Controlled wire feeding is a crucial key technological requirement for laser soldering, induction soldering, and piston soldering, ensuring that the entire soldering process in electronics manufacturing and micro-soldering processes is safe and reproducible.
Thanks to the electromechanical sensor technology, the SWF enables optimal controllable, reproducible and kink-free feeding of the wire, setting new standards in process reliability. The system uses the change in wire contact pressure to detect the point at which the solder wire has reached the process surface and begins to melt. It reacts to errors such as an incorrectly positioned or displaced wire and also bridges tolerances in the working height. Complete process data acquisition is therefore possible for safety-relevant assemblies for each selective soldering point.
The additionally developed SWF with MicroForceControl (MFC) has been specially designed for demanding micro soldering applications and enables reliable feeding of solder wire with diameters down to 0.1 mm and below, without wire kinking or uncontrolled deflection on the component surface.
A key feature of the system is the force detection, which is up to 100 times more accurate and can reliably detect resulting forces of 0.1 N and smaller. This highly sensitive force measurement enables reliable and reproducible probing of even the smallest solder joints. The solder wire is guided precisely to the surface without being mechanically overloaded or deviating sideways. This is a decisive advantage for delicate solder pads, complex geometries and high-density assemblies.
The SWF's electromechanical sensor system enables fully controllable and reproducible wire feeding. This not only contributes to process reliability, but also reduces solder consumption and ensures reproducible wire feeding. Thanks to the comprehensive process data acquisition, the SWF is particularly suitable for sensitive applications where complete traceability is required. Each individual solder joint can be documented and checked, which fulfils the high requirements of modern production processes.
Another advantage of the SWF is its modularity and flexibility. The system can be used for different soldering processes and is compatible with different wire diameters. Its innovative design allows easy integration into existing production cells, regardless of their structure. This ensures a high degree of adaptability to different production requirements.

The SWF is suitable for various soldering processes, such as laser, induction and piston soldering. Thanks to its precise and controlled wire feed, it fulfils the requirements of demanding soldering processes and helps users to achieve reproducible soldering results.
A key feature of the SWF is its ability to measure the force with which the wire hits the solder joint. This precise and definable force detection means that tolerances in the working height can be easily compensated for. In addition, the system reliably recognizes errors such as incorrectly positioned wire or deviations, thus ensuring error-free processing.
With this system, companies can optimize their production processes and increase efficiency while maintaining the highest quality standards. The Sensitive Wire Feeder from EUTECT is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to take their soldering processes to the next level.
