LED Solder Press • Status Report Presentation • Senior Projects I • By Ryan Bigl & • Kyle Levesque
Background Info • This project is for a small business called LEDdynamics, located in Randolph, Vermont. • “LEDdynamics is a custom engineering company specializing in the design and integration of LED technology for end-user and OEM applications.”
Problem statement Design an automated miniature solder press that will… • Be able to solder pre-glued surface mount LED emitters to a metallic circuit board. • Be able to test the LED after completion • Must be faster and more efficient than hand assembly. • System will not need human aid, after initial setup is completed.
Process Description • Drill Metallic Mounting Circuit Board • Prep soldering area with flux • Glue in surface mount LED’s • Solder the LED leads • Test for failed product
Light Strip Base Sizes • Soldering 2 different strip sizes • Soldering 3 different strip styles
Jig Assembly • 2 pull pins • 2 springs • Adjustable slide support • 2 rail / receivers • Base plate • Front support plate
Solutions • Build a X table with a set jig for metallic circuit boards. • Make a single press/ dual soldering iron system with wire fed solder. • Test the LEDs inline with solder station. • Allow user to initially select predetermined board size and stores data throughout the run.
