If you are in the market for a vacuum soldering system, don’t miss the opportunity to meet budatec at the iMAPS show in Boston starting October 3rd.
Budatec GmbH is a technology leader serving the semiconductor, photovoltaic, automotive and medical industries worldwide. Based in Berlin, budatec has 30 years of experience and offers vacuum soldering and sintering systems ranging from small R&D to fully automated systems. Their innovative systems have won 80% of worldwide market share.
Flawless Joints with Vacuum Soldering
In typical processes, voids caused by gases in the solder connections can compromise the integrity of the components. Vacuum soldering – a form of convection soldering – produces a superior joint. It eliminates voids and pores that can occur when flux and solvents escape from the soldered joint but cannot totally exit. With the help of the vacuum, these residues can escape in the preheating phase. As a result, in the liquidus phase of the process they produce few/no defects in the soldered joint.
Budatec offers a range of systems to increase your yield that offer terrific flexibility, expandability and ease of integration. From small, medium and large batch to fully-automated production systems, budatec has a system for you.
Meet the VS Family
The VS line consists of 4 base machines.
Budatec offers the following systems for R&D and small batches under production conditions.
VS 160 S & VS 160 UG
- Offers highest performance with a small footprint due to its high heating and cooling rates (approximately 200 K/min)
- This machine is available as a VS 160 S (benchtop) and as a VS 160 UG (with a base frame). This makes it possible to integrate additional options such as a vacuum pump or HCOOH gas line.
For R&D, and the production of medium and large batches:
VS 320
- Offers high achievable performance
- Features options such as hydrogen (concentration adjustable up to 100%), HCOOH, special gases, microwave plasma and the integration of the budatec sintering press.
The line includes 2 systems for large batch production:
VS 320 i
- Offers autonomous loading and unloading of product carriers. Based on the VS 320 with all available options.
- Fully automatic inline vacuum brazing system that is flexible and simple to expand. Several technology steps can be integrated inline quickly and easily.
VS XL
- For processing large parts and large batches
- In addition to the available options hydrogen (concentration adjustable up to 100%), HCOOH and special gases as well as motor-driven manipulators can be integrated within the workspace.
Integrated Sintering Presses
To expand possibilities further, budatec offers two sintering machines that integrate into their vacuum soldering systems.
- The SP 60 expands the VS 320 vacuum brazing system into a sinter press. It produces sintered connections under inert or reduced atmospheres and provides significant improvement in the connection in terms of reliability and strength (multiplication of the shearing forces).
- The SP 300 is a fully automatic sintering press that produces connections under inert and reduced atmospheres. It uses both a servo-electric drive and a load cell so that the programmed force is set very quickly and very precisely. There are no hydraulic components, eliminating the risk of uncontrolled oil leakage in the production area.
We look forward to sharing more details with you about these powerful systems.
