INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL OVERVIEW
Metcal soldering systems have led the way with SmartHeat® technology for 35 years.
SmartHeat® senses the thermal load and instantly delivers Power on Demand directly to the joint.
The embedded, self-regulating heater delivers the right amount of power based on the requirements
of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required.
Metcal raised the bar by introducing Connection Validation. Connection Validation evaluates the
quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed
loop feedback to the operator of hand soldering applications.
This systemic and objective approach provides repeatability and a measurable standard to the
soldering process. For this reason, Metcal has raised the bar yet again by incorporating their
revolutionary technology into a robotic platform to provide an automated solution with intelligence.
The Robotic Soldering System with Connection Validation & Smart Interface, or RSS-1000-CVSI for
short, is a desktop robot designed as a rapid, automated solution for soldering applications. The
system is a fully automated, high-precision soldering control system with soldering capabilities in 4
axes (X, Y, Z, & R.) Coupled with Connection Validation, the RSS-1000-CVSI takes the risk
associated with the variables involved in soldering activity and removes the success and failure
determination of a good solder joint out of the hands of the operator.
In addition to Connection Validation, the RSS-1000-CVSI includes Smart Interface System.
The Smart Interface System does away with the archaic programming method of using a teach
pendant and provides an easy to use touch screen interface to program the robot. This in turn cuts
down programming time to a fraction of the time it used to take using traditional methods. To further
ease programming, Smart Interface System utilizes machine vision features to provide operators
invaluable tools such as Fiducial Point Auto-Alignment, Pattern Recognition, and Profile Merging.
Smart Interface System not only provides an arsenal of software tools but also offers
convenient, customizable methods for adjustment of a multitude of parameters within each solder
profile. The Edit Profile function allows for quick modification to a solder profile in a matter of
seconds, minimizing downtime. From adjusting solder wire feed by volume or length to personalized
solder tip cleaning patterns, Smart Interface software allows operators to tailor each profile down to
their individual application’s need.
