SASINNO Americas Ushers in a New Era of Selective Soldering Innovation

SASINNO Americas, the North American branch of selective soldering leader Sasinno, continues to build momentum in the electronics manufacturing market with the release of its latest product technologies designed to streamline production, increase soldering quality, and reduce operator overhead. With a focus on smart automation, modular flexibility, and robust process control, SASINNO Americas is helping contract manufacturers and OEMs tackle modern challenges like shrinking PCB real estate, increasing product complexity, and skilled labor shortages.

Headquartered in Washington, Missouri, SASINNO Americas is the exclusive North American support and distribution hub for SASINNO, a company globally recognized for its expertise in intelligent selective soldering solutions. The brand name “SASINNO” stands for Smart And Steady Innovation, and that philosophy is evident in every system the company designs.

“Our mission is to bring precision, consistency, and innovation to every stage of the selective soldering process,” says Mike Young, CEO/GM SASINNO Americas. “We don’t just build machines, we engineer solutions that solve real production problems.”

Introducing the iBot-i2: Compact Power Meets Process Intelligence

Among SASINNO’s most exciting new launches is the iBot-i2, an advanced inline selective soldering machine engineered for efficiency and flexibility in high-mix, low-to-medium volume production environments.

The iBot-i2 features a compact footprint and dual soldering stations, enabling simultaneous processing for greater throughput. Equipped with real-time laser-based solder wave height monitoring, nitrogen preheating, and smart fluxing control, the iBot-i2 delivers exceptional quality and repeatability even with challenging through-hole components.

One of the standout features is its auto wave height calibration, which eliminates manual setup and ensures precise soldering performance regardless of operator experience. The system also supports quick-exchange solder pots, enabling fast changeover between different alloys or nozzle sizes—an essential capability for CMOs managing varied customer requirements.

The iBot-i2 is ideal for facilities looking to scale their selective soldering capacity while maintaining a small production footprint. It supports full integration with MES systems and comes ready for Industry 4.0 applications.

NuFlex-i2 Selective Soldering Line: Seamless Automation for High-Mix Production

For electronics manufacturers looking for an end-to-end selective soldering solution, SASINNO’s NuFlex-i2 line delivers a modular, automated process from start to finish. This line combines preheat, fluxing, soldering, and optional AOI modules into a unified system designed to support continuous inline production.

The preheating module uses both convection and infrared heating for stable thermal ramp-up, reducing thermal shock to sensitive components. The fluxing module leverages precision spray valves with automatic flux quantity control. Meanwhile, the soldering unit employs SASINNO’s TrueWave technology for smooth, low-dross solder flow and programmable multi-point soldering paths.

“With the NuFlex-i2 line, manufacturers gain the ability to run multiple boards with different profiles in sequence,” explains Young. “Each board’s process parameters are stored and recalled automatically, making the line ideal for high-mix, just-in-time manufacturing environments.”

Users can also integrate the system with barcode scanners or RFID readers to trigger profile selection, data logging, and traceability reporting – a vital need for aerospace, medical, and automotive applications where process control and documentation are non-negotiable.

Smart Features for Operator-Free Soldering

Both the iBot-i2 and NuFlex-i2 are packed with smart features that reduce the need for operator intervention and improve consistency. These include:

• Auto Nozzle Cleaning & Calibration: Cleans and aligns the solder nozzle between cycles for optimal wave formation.

• Closed-Loop Flux Monitoring: Prevents under- or over-fluxing by dynamically adjusting spray parameters.

• Real-Time Process Visualization: High-resolution cameras and process monitoring screens allow users to observe and log every step.

• Predictive Maintenance Alerts: Monitors wear components like nozzles, motors, and solder pots and alerts technicians before failures occur.

SASINNO’s intuitive user interface simplifies programming and profile creation. Users can build soldering paths graphically by uploading Gerber files or teaching paths directly via the built-in camera. Combined with the company’s responsive technical support in North America, these technologies help manufacturers shorten ramp-up time and minimize downtime.

Customer-Centered Growth Strategy

Since opening its Americas division, SASINNO has made significant investments in localized support, including demo facilities, spare parts warehousing, and training services. The company has also partnered with top-tier distributors and sales reps to expand its reach across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

“Our customers are telling us that they need more than just equipment; they need a partner who understands their production goals,” says Young. “That’s why we’re committed to providing fast response times, in-depth training, and tailored application support.”

SASINNO Americas is quickly earning a reputation for bringing intelligent, user-friendly soldering solutions to a market that’s hungry for innovation. With its latest products leading the charge, SASINNO is well positioned to become a key player in the future of selective soldering technology. Attendees can experience these innovations firsthand at SMTA Guadalajara, taking place September 17-18, at the Expo Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. SASINNO will exhibit in Booth #957, showcasing live demos and providing expert guidance on how its technologies can transform selective soldering operations.
