Solder wire feeder
The location of the mta wire feeder is unique. Placing it directly on the solder head improves accuracy, reliability, and overall performance. We are distinctive in this regard because our purpose-built robot is able to support the additional weight at the end of the robot.

MRC500 laser robotic cell
The mta laser MRC500 is the larger robotic cell that supports point to point laser soldering from above. The standardized platform is based on a flexible and modular concept that can be adapted to a range of processes from fully-automated in-line to stand-alone semi-automated processes.

Solder paste dispensing heads
The soldering market is heading towards smaller and smaller applications. Therefore, the size of the solder wire and the influence of its contact with the components become a limit for the achievable process accuracy.
MLH45 laser head
mta primarily uses the MLH45 laser head for soldering robots on joints that are too small for the iron – smaller than 1mm. For the smallest applications, we combine the laser heat source with optical realignment and solder paste jet dispenser. This guarantees mastery of the total process especially in cases where solder wire size is too large to achieve optimal results.
We also use the MLH45 laser head for soldering robots when the part requires a non-contact heat source, or the joints are in tight places that physical heating units cannot reach.
We can integrate the induction soldering iron on two of our standard soldering platforms: laser MRC500 and TR300. (Note: We add metal sides and a mechanical door to the TR300 to protect operators from the laser.)
The main features of our MLH45 laser head include:
- It is able to solder very small joints
- Easy teaching with integrated monitoring and laser pointer
- Diode laser with optical fiber
- Non-contact soldering
- The jam-free wire feeder mounted directly on the head provides tight process control
- Compatible with RoHS (lead-free) solder
7 reasons to choose the mta MLH45 laser soldering head
- We can combined the laser with solder paste jetting system to solder very small joints.
- Optional fiducial recognition is able to realign the paste jetting system and laser.
- The laser fires straight down, so it is able to reach joints inaccessible by iron, induction, and microflame.
- There are no stamped sheet metal or die-cast parts. We machined the robust head structure from solid material to provide a rigid platform for the iron and wire feeder.
- The clamping system provides easy adjustment and precise alignment. Once tightened, the position will not change until loosened – there is no risk of accidental misalignment as a result of heavy use or while changing tips.
- We mounted our precise jam-free solder wire feeder directly on the head – at the solder joint.This provides tight process control of the wire feed. Solder wire does not kink or get jammed since there is no long feed tube. Once the correct amount is fed, the wire feeder pulls the wire out of the solder pool to prevent solder spatter.
- Optionally, the solder paste jet, is offset on the same head, so one robot provides both functions – no need for a second robot to apply solder to the parts
