[0002] Surface mount technology (SMT) soldering is a core step in electronics manufacturing, and its quality directly affects the reliability and performance of electronic products. With the miniaturization and high-density development of electronic products, surface mount technology (SMT) has become the mainstream process. However, existing SMT soldering equipment still has the following significant drawbacks: Insufficient adaptability: Traditional welding equipment typically uses fixed conveyor tracks, making it difficult to adapt to PCBs of different sizes. When processing circuit boards with significant size differences, frequent fixture changes or mechanical adjustments are required, leading to low production efficiency. This limitation is particularly pronounced in R&D verification and small-batch production.
[0003] Single-station efficiency bottleneck: Most equipment only supports single-station welding, which is insufficient to meet the flexible production needs of multiple varieties and small batches. Therefore, a circuit board surface mount welding mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
