Thermaltronics USA, a manufacturer of award-winning solder robots, is pleased to announce its participation in the 2024 IPC APEX EXPO, taking place 9–11 April 2024 at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California.

In Booth 1003, the company will unveil its latest innovation, the TMT-R9000S Solder Robot.

As the solder robot market experiences rapid growth, fuelled by skilled labour shortages and heightened automation demands, Thermaltronics is at the forefront, addressing industry needs with cutting-edge solutions.

Designed as a compact and versatile benchtop unit, the TMT-R9000S is well-suited for a diverse array of applications. The incorporation of SMEMA Communication Ports enables seamless integration with Robotic Arm Systems, expanding its automation capabilities. With a soldering area measuring 12” (308mm) x 12” (308mm), the TMT-R9000S delivers precision and flexibility in soldering applications. Accommodating a maximum PCB area of 17” (450mm) x 17” (450mm), this solder robot is adept at handling versatile soldering tasks.

Noteworthy features include XYZ 3D soldering and 3D dispensing capabilities, ensuring accuracy and consistency in complex soldering tasks. The availability of two input line voltage options, TMT-R9000PS-1 (100-110 VAC) and TMT-R9000PS-2 (220-240 VAC), adds to its versatility. With a six-axis servo motor axis, the solder robot provides control and precision in soldering operations.

Thermaltronics has a successful history with previous solder robot models, including the TMT-R8000S, TMT-R9800S, and TMT-R9900S. Building on this legacy, the TMT-R9000S introduces advanced features and capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the electronics manufacturing industry. Notably, this machine holds a significant advantage, boasting a larger soldering area than the TMT-R9900S. With the ability to accomplish 600mm circular soldering, the TMT-R9000S expands the possibilities for precision and efficiency in soldering operations, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a larger soldering footprint.

In addition to its hand soldering product line, Thermaltronics also provides an extended range of accessories to support both production and rework applications.
