The introduction of the WEEE directive and conversion to RoHS compliant materials has demanded changes in electronics manufacturing that will require tighter process controls and modification of the current production methods used.

The following products address some key areas under discussion:-

Shenmao Lead Free Solder Materials now available in the UK for the first time. The newest addition to our product range brings Shenmao's high quality products to the UK market at a competitive price. Shenmao offer an extensive range of solder materials for all your soldering needs, including lead-free solder paste and wire products.
SlimKIC2000 Thermal Profilers enable easy conversion of Sn/Pb reflow profiles to Pb-Free recipes faster than any other system available and if you already have a profiler then don’t worry we can offer a trade-in to make it even less painful.
MARTIN Expert-09.5 Rework Systems offer features like 7 stage heating profiles, vision placement for devices from 55x55mm down to 1x1mm and Auto Profiling software to allow operators with little process knowledge to set up lead-free profiles. All Martin systems ensure precise high quality Pb-free rework is achieved with ease.
MARTIN HotBeam03 Lead Free Under-heater provides controlled background heating of PCB’s during manual soldering and rework operations. By heating the board we can reduce both the required soldering iron temperature (increasing the soldering iron tip life), and the time taken to solder as well as offering improved wetting, which in turn produces superior quality Pb-Free solder joints.
LINK Labels are available for WEEE & RoHS compliance labelling, lead free product identification and with products like green Polyimide you can instantly recognise Pb-free PCB’s. A standard range of labels are available from stock and with our custom design service you can even incorporate your requirements into your existing label designs.
