If the throughput height fits, the nitrogen consumption fits

Reducing nitrogen consumption in convection soldering with Rehm Thermal Systems‘ patented mechatronic curtain Due to the variety of electronic component geometries, the assembly height varies from 5 to 30 mm. These differences lead to the requirement that the throughput height in a convection soldering system be specified at 30 mm upwards and 20 mm downwards. Additionally, due to e-mobility, there is also a need for throughput heights of 50 to 100 mm upwards. This requirement results in an increasing open area at the entrance and exit of the convection soldering…

The mass finishing technology refines surfaces gently and efficiently

At the MACH 2024 exhibition Walther Trowal displays its equipment for finishing the surface of high-value components. This versatile technology is equally suitable for deburring, edge radiusing, general cleaning, surface smoothing and high-gloss polishing. In addition, the company presents a centrifuge for eco-friendly cleaning and recycling of the process water. For finishing the surface of small, mass-produced parts Walther Trowal shows a centrifugal disk finishing machine of the model range TT. This so-called „double-batch“ system allows the processing of one work piece batch, while a second work piece batch is…
