M5 screws to change its
position.
The position of the Dispensing Nozzle is adjustable depending on your needs. Loosen and
tighten the M4 screws to change its position.

B Speed adjustment
Dispensing Nozzle movement adjustment
The movement of the Nozzle Actuator can be adjusted by regulating the following parts:
- By means of the two knobs, the upward A and the downward B movement speed can be
throttled.
- The maximmum angle of the Dispensing Nozzle movement is 90º. This angle can be reduced by
screwing the grub screws C and D .

Movements
The Soldering Head for Automation allows automatic movements through the following pneumatic
actuators:
- Soldering Iron Actuator: with tube connection movement into A and away B from soldering
position.
- Dispensing Nozzle Actuator: with tube connections for movement into C and away D from
feeding position.
The Tool Actuator has a buffer of 5mm stroke to soften collision while soldering.
You can adjust the Dispensing Nozzle Actuator speed by adjusting the fittings.
