The LDS 30 laser soldering system provides a non-contact solution to point soldering applications utilizing a semi-conductor diode laser. The system incorporates fiber-optic technology to focus and direct the laser diode. This system is normally mounted onto the Apollo Seiko L-CAT EVO in-line four axis Gantry robot. The soldering parameters are programmed via the L-CAT EVO and the laser timing is set via the teaching pendant of the laser unit.  The LDS 30 can also be used with the Luna controller for integration with other robots or stand-alone applications.

The laser wavelengths can be either 810 nanometer or 980 nanometer.  The 980 is better suited for printed circuit board applications as it is much more forgiving to  FR-4 material.

The beam diameter is 0.4 mm at full focus and the laser power is programmable throughout the solder profile as reuqired by the application.
