| I.C.T Acrab-Series Nitrogen Wave Soldering Machine
The I.C.T Acrab-series Nitrogen Wave Soldering Machine is the trusted choice for high-reliability automotive, medical, and communication electronics. With optional closed-loop nitrogen protection, it produces bright, defect-free joints while cutting dross and solder consumption dramatically. Three models (350 / 450 / 615 mm PCB width) cover every production volume. Advanced spray, long preheating, ultra-stable dual-wave, and smart PC+PLC control deliver higher first-pass yield and lower running cost than traditional open-air systems. Tool-free maintenance and global on-site support make it the perfect upgrade for any automatic DIP soldering machine line.
| Feature
Japanese Kuroda precision nozzles and stepper-motor drive deliver perfectly uniform flux coating every cycle. The whole module slides out like a drawer with built-in automatic cleaning, standard filter and self-contained exhaust. Add the optional nitrogen flux system and you instantly get a true Nitrogen Wave Soldering Machine that keeps the chamber clean and greatly reduces flux consumption.
A full 1800 mm tunnel with three independent hot-air + IR zones warms up to 250 °C in only 15 minutes. Horizontal reflow design and thick high-temperature insulation cotton hold temperature stable within ±2 °C across the entire PCB. Drawer-style modules and plug-in maintenance make service fast and tool-free. Optional top preheating is available for extra-thick boards.
Patented synchronous chain and heavy-duty double-hook titanium fingers smoothly carry PCBs up to 615 mm wide without dropping, even heavy automotive boards. Conveyor speed accuracy reaches ±2 mm/min. Standard automatic finger cleaning and optional electric width adjustment make it the perfect match for any automatic DIP soldering machine line.
Cast-iron enamel-coated solder pot holds 500-700 kg lead-free solder and never deforms. Dual-wave height stays within 0.5 mm for perfect wetting. Optional nitrogen blanket plus automatic dross-return channel cuts oxidation by up to 90 %, producing bright, full joints while saving huge amounts of solder – the real power of a Nitrogen Wave Soldering Machine.
High-power top convection fans (optional top + bottom forced cooling) drop PCB temperature quickly after soldering. This prevents thermal stress on sensitive components and guarantees shiny solder appearance even on thick multi-layer boards coming from an automatic DIP soldering machine process.
Simple PC+PLC touch interface with PID+SSR heating gives precise real-time temperature control. Automatic standby mode, alarm history, emergency manual transmission and multiple safety protections (CE/UL certified) reduce tin oxidation and energy waste. Easy-to-learn operation lets any shift run the Nitrogen Wave Soldering Machine safely and efficiently every day.
