The eBook is based on our experience from our first project using robotic soldering in 2018 and a special NPL Good Practice Guide with Dr Chris Hunt using high temperature alloys. In the NPL project we included both contact and laser soldering robots on high and standard lead-free alloys like SnCu and SnAgCu. The authors most recent activity has been with low temperature lead-free Sn/Bi & Sn/Bi/Ag cored wire and standard SAC on a special test board designed for the authors original 2021 Robotic Soldering Experience. More recent work with two suppliers during 2022 and the release of our Robotic Soldering Inspection & Quality Control Wall Charts plus our Low Temperature & Robotic Soldering Defect Photo Library

The maxon IDX Compact Drive with Integrated Positioning Controller

The maxon IDX Compact Drive with Integrated Positioning Controller

The compact brushless EC-i motor combined with an EPOS4 positioning controller delivers a highly dynamic, powerful drive package with field-oriented control (FOC), high efficiency, and maintenance-free components in a high-quality industrial housing. The maxon IDX drives are suitable for use across the entire speed range (from standstill to maximum speed) and have an extremely high overload capability. Together with a positioning controller, the integrated sensor (single turn) enables absolute positioning.
