Advanced Soldering

Soldering for Heat-Sensitive Substrates in Seconds, not Minutes!
PulseForge Digital Thermal Processing™ enables the soldering of low-cost, temperature sensitive substrates such as paper, plastic, fabric, or recycled heat-sensitive materials with standard lead-free solder pastes.

New Technology

An advanced Soldering Solution using High-Intensity Flashes of Light

Conventional soldering solutions in electronics manufacturing can be slow, damaging, and inflexible, allowing limited materials and design choices. Powerful and configurable, PulseForge Digital Thermal Processing’s high-intensity pulsed-light solution erases those limitations – without damaging previously off-limits temperature-sensitive components and substrates.

Higher throughput and reduced carbon footprint? Yes, with PulseForge Digital Thermal Processing In-Line!

The Beginning

We evolved our PulseForge curing tools into a new toolset that preferentially heats the solder, not temperature-sensitive substrates and components.

How It Works

Millisecond heating and cooling allows for replacing expensive substrates, such as ceramic, with inexpensive substrates like paper – all while processing with off-the-shelf SAC305. Further reduce costs with no tool warm-up, easy on-off operation, and no thermal soak time for parts or fixtures. And, with its compact design, PulseForge Digital Thermal Processing tools have a small production floor footprint.

Superior Technology

PulseForge Digital Thermal Processing delivers controlled IMC formation with wetted, low-void solder joints, and component self-realignment – even with SAC305, while ultra-fast thermal processing deliberately creates a temperature difference between solder and substrate.

Improved Performance

Soldering with high intensity pulses of light with PulseForge tools – PulseForge has rewritten the design rules that govern the design and production of electronic devices.

Efficient

Enables the use of standard lead-free solder pastes on temperature sensitive substrates.

Flexible

Multiple component types requiring different levels of heat can be soldered simultaneously.

Rapid

Processing is much faster than conventional reflow soldering and is roll-to-roll compatible.
