The tubing is then routed with the cable chain at the top of the gantry, and then routed to the
end effector, close to the iron. The fume extraction tube is indicated by the arrow below:
Please note that there is no interaction between the software and fume extraction. All settings
for fume extraction are done independently of the Robotic Soldering System. In addition, to achieve
the highest performance of the soldering iron, please be mindful of the airflow setting on the fume
extraction device. Keep airflow settings at such that they do not impact the idle power of the tip. The
idle power is the power shown in the Connection Validation Display when the RF has been turned on,
power bar has settled, and no load is present on the soldering iron. This idle power will vary based
on tip geometry and temperature series.
NITROGEN
Nitrogen (also referred to as N
2
) is an inert gas that is used as a means increase soldering
performance when compared to conventional soldering. N
2
reduces oxidation during the soldering
process, thus increasing tip life and protecting components being soldered. In addition, it can reduce
the amount of dross that can occur during soldering.
An added benefit is that nitrogen is environmentally neutral, or in other words, will not react
with other elements. Therefore, it will not create any greenhouse gasses or other harmful reactions.
In addition, a nitrogen rich environment will significantly minimize the need to clean impurities off the
iron, therefore reducing the amount of environmentally unfriendly chemicals needed to accomplish
this task.
Nitrogen can be plumbed to the unit, either from a N
2
generator or from an N
2
tank. However,
because of the wide variety of fittings that can be used, a fitting will not be provided with the RSS-
1000-CVSI. Once the proper fitting for the N
2
tank used is acquired, connect it to a high pressure,
6mm OD tubing. The open end of tubing will connect to the N
2
entry point, located to the left of the
pressure regulator at the rear of the unit, as shown on the next page.
