1. LED Solder Press Status Report Presentation One  By Ryan Bigl &  Kyle Levesque

2. Problem statement Design an automated miniature solder press that is able to…  Solder pre-glued surface mount LED emitters to a metallic circuit board.  Test the LED after completion  Be faster and more efficient than hand assembly.  Not need human aid, after initial setup is completed.

3. Solutions  Build a X table with an adjustable jig for metallic circuit boards.  Make a single press/ dual soldering iron system with electronically fed solder.  Allow user to initially select predetermined board size and stores data throughout the run.

4. System Overview  User interface and controls  Pneumatic controlled motion  Computer controlled soldering irons and feed system  Computer recorded test system  Preprogrammed board sizing

11. completed Goals  Define system setup and feasibility.  Make a task list and divide up hours for project.  Meet with LedDynamics to present ideas.  Redefine project from the companies considerations and time management.

12. Upcoming Goals  Decide what soldering system to use through testing and research, (either liquid or solid).  Design Jig mounting setup for multiple board sizes, (Adjustable fence).  Decide on solder iron wattages and design though research and testing.  Communicate with LedDynamics about final system design and budget.  Manufacture “test” boards for soldering system.
