Patent attributes
A soldering apparatus has a conveyor which conveys an electronic circuit board, a fluxer which applies a flux having water as a solvent to a surface of the electronic circuit board to be soldered, a first heating device which heats the electronic circuit board, a water removal device which removes water attached to the electronic circuit board, a second heating device which heats the electronic circuit board to maintain the electronic circuit board at a temperature at which the flux exerts its activating action, a flow soldering bath in which molten solder is attached to the electronic circuit board, and a cooler. The water removal device includes a gas blowing portion having a first jig which blows a gas to an electronic component disposition surface, and a drawing portion having a second jig which draws water from the surface to be soldered.
