Three Reasons to Robotize Soldering Operations

As electronics get smaller and manufacturers come under greater pressure to improve efficiency and throughput, the traditional hand soldering method is no longer up to scratch. In 1896, a patent for electric heating apparatus, now commonly known as a soldering iron, was granted. The process of soldering has remained much the same since then. But, that's about to change. In this article, Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics, international distributor of Shibaura Machine, formerly Toshiba Machine, industrial and soldering robots, explains three reasons why you should automate the soldering process.
