Spokane, WA –
ACE Production Technologies, in response to customer requests, has introduced a new Service Cart that speeds and simplifies the swapping or change-out of solder pots for its KISS family of Selective Soldering machines. Use of the stable cart makes solder pot exchange simple, fast, safe, and requires minimal effort. Since the new pot is already pre-heated via a built-in warmer, the solder can be molten and ready to run in only a matter of minutes once set in place inside the soldering machine.
In making the announcement, Al Cable, President of ACE, said, "Changing or swapping solder pots is a necessary but occasionally tricky operation for selective soldering equipment users.” New ACE Service Cart for solder pot exchange (above left), shown docked with a KISS-103 Selective Soldering Machine.“Customers had asked if it might be possible to facilitate solder pot change-outs. Many of our customers (CMs) are using multiple solders to meet a variety of customer specifications. Thus, the faster those change-outs can be accomplished, the faster the selective soldering machine can be back in production. Even though the ACE solder pot is comparably light (30lbs.) and attractive for that reason, it is still necessary to maintain good safety and stability as well as prepare the exchange solder pot for use as soon as possible. For this reason, ACE designed a Service Cart that also pre-heats the solder to a nearly liquid state prior to swapping into the machine.”
