MPS700 bottom side selective iron soldering machine
As a complement or an alternative to mini-wave and traditional selective soldering techniques, the MPS700 bottom side selective iron soldering machine provides maximum accessibility and meets mass production requirements of quality, reliability and cycle times.
The iron head consists of a powerful heating element and a high precision wire feeder. A compact vision system close to the iron head adjusts the solder point positions. A 4-axis system guarantees quick and precise movements.
The MPS700 can be equipped with mta classic soldering iron head.
The main features of our MPS700 include:
- Welded frame construction
- 4-axis cartesian robot
- 700x700mm working area
- Conveyor with adjustable width which meets SMEMA electrical and mechanical standards, ensuring quick and easy integration into production lines
- Integrated indexing and clamping system accurately locates boards and holds them in position
- Automatic and quick realignment of the solder point positions using a high performance vision system
- Intuitive menu-driven mta MotionEditor software
Finally, the easy-to-use software allows to quickly start using the equipment and to achieve efficient results without having to spend hours learning how to use it.
8 reasons to choose the mta MPS700 bottom side selective iron soldering machine
- Soldering iron can reach points inaccessible by other soldering machines.
- Fluxing of boards is not required before soldering.
- Quick and easy change of solder alloys – swap the solder spool.
- Very low maintenance – no solder tanks, dross, or flux residue to clean.
- Automatic realignment of solder points for precise process control.
- Taylor individual soldering parameters for each point.
- Ability to process a wide range of PCB dimensions.
- Quick and easy integration thanks to SMEMA standards.

Classic soldering iron
Learn more Read moremta’s classic iron head for soldering robots is our most popular soldering technology. Probably because most customers are upgrading from hand soldering with the iron.
We can integrate the classic iron head for soldering robots on any of our standard soldering platforms including: MRC500, TR300, OEM and station.
The main features of our classic iron head for soldering robots include:
- Multiple adjustments allowing easy configuration for specific applications
- Robust structure guaranteeing that tip and wire feeder do not get misaligned accidentally
- Soldering tips have a long life span and users can change them quickly and easily
- Extensive tip selection to suit a wide variety of applications
- Jam-free wire feeder mounted directly on the head provides tight process control
- Lead free compatible
7 reasons to choose the mta classic soldering iron
- The soldering tip is separate from the heating element, so users do not need to change the heating element as frequently as the tip. This reduces consumable cost.
- A pneumatically-dampened spring lowers the tip to allow compliance between the tip and part. This provides good thermal transfer while protecting the parts and tip. Also, the robot does not use the z-axis to move the iron tip.
- 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 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.
- We integrated the fume extraction nozzle into the head itself. Therefore, it is mounted directly above the solder joint to safely remove fumes.
- In addition to the iron, wire feeder and fume extraction nozzle, the head can support several optional devices such as: cameras, flux dispensers, dual feeders, dual irons and the list goes on.

Solder wire feeder
Learn more Read moreThe 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.
The wire feeder is a key element of the soldering robot which drives the soldering alloy to the exact position required by the application. Furthermore, this unit is adaptable to several wire diameters.
6 advantages of the mta solder wire feeder design
- The solder wire is not pushed through long feed tubes, so there is no chance for the wire to jam or kink – we guarantee this.
- A precise control is maintained over how much solder wire is fed to each joint.
- The actual solder movement is measured to positively verify the process is correct.
- The solder wire is removed from the solder pool while the pool wets out. This prevents flux from leaking in the pool and eliminates the main cause of solder spatter.
- Placing the feeder at the joint means there is no back-pressure on the wire, so it feeds easily and smoothly.
- The wire spool is supported on bearings for smooth, consistent wire feed.
