RPS Rhythm Slide
EasyChange? Solder Pot Access― the system automatically indexes the solder pot to an access position for easy maintenance and pot changeover. A full-access hood further eases maintenance.
CamConductor? Programming― the popular RPS CamConductor programming software for rapid offline programming using JPEG or Gerber. Unlimited seats.
RPS Live View?― the RPS Live View video system features a high definition camera, adjustable zoom and a dedicated LCD monitor for miniwave observation.
High Performance Flux Nozzles― RPS uses best-in-class flux nozzles. A stainless steel EFD? spray flux nozzle is standard and can handle most any flux type. High precision REA? drop jet fluxer (for high precision low solids no clean flux types) or Sonotek ultrasonic fluxer (for high solids no clean flux types) are optional. Every system can be configured for dual flux nozzles and chemistries― ideal for high mix contract manufacturing.
