Luxeon 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.” This project is designed to semi-automate the manufacturing process of LED light bars.
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.
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.
