MSS
Microflame Soldering Station The MSS microflame soldering station is ideal for post-crimp soldering of terminated wires but also suitable for regular tinning of stripped wire ends on the fully automatic CrimpCenter series of machines. This application is most often used for missioncritical crimping applications to increase mechanical pull strength and resistance to corrosion.
The station generator produces hydrogen gas from distilled water. The process is completely environmentally safe with the only by-product being water vapor. A constant flame temperature ensures consistent results and the heat is highly focused thereby exposing the surrounding materials to minimum heat. In the event of a machine error, the hydrogen supply to the system is automatically shut down for safety. Options include sensors for pressure, flame presence and water level and an automatic ignition system. Soldering processing parameters can be stored in the station’s control unit and programmed with a hand-held device. Processing parameters can easily be retrieved on demand. Wire positioning and wait times are programmed via touch screen in the CrimpCenter machine’s operating software EASY.
