Further investment from CIL with purchase of additional selective soldering machine

CIL has used selective soldering techniques for many years in its production environment working alongside Blundell CMS leaded and lead-free flow-soldering systems. Selective soldering permits greater throughput with the benefits of process repeatability combined with providing the specific controls required for specialised components such as heavy duty connectors and batteries and for soldering into ground planes.

The Pillarhouse Handex is a dual pot system allowing for both lead-free and specialised high melting point solders. CIL is now working with a number of customers on high temperature applications that require specific soldering techniques that will be provided by this new equipment.
