Provided is a soldering system that can raise the work efficiency related to the supply of a soldering target and soldering work, while decreasing the oxygen concentration by maintaining high airtightness in a space surrounding the soldering target. A soldering system includes a soldering device and a robot related to the soldering device, in which the soldering device is equipped with a container having an openable lid and accommodating a soldering target, and the robot performs conveying of the soldering target to the soldering device and opening/closing of the lid. In an embodiment of the soldering device, the container is a double structure in which an inner container is accommodated in an outer container, and a first nitrogen supply pipe and second nitrogen supply pipe, which are inert gas supply parts of separate systems, are respectively connected to the inner container and outer container.

A flux reservoir apparatus (100, 200) includes a stage (12) having a recessed portion (13) for reserving flux (51, 52, 53) therein and a flux pot (20) composed of an annular member having a through hole (30) through which the flux (51, 52, 53) flows, the flux pot arranged to move back and forth on the surface (14) of the stage (12) to feed the flux (51, 52, 53) into the recessed portion (13) and to smooth the surface of the flux (51, 52, 53), in which the through hole (30) is an elongated hexagonal hole with a length greater than the width of the recessed portion (13) in the direction perpendicular to the back-and-forth direction, and in which the bottom surface of a flux pot main body (21) is a chevron surface. This reduces leakage of the flux (51, 52, 53) in the flux reservoir apparatus (100, 200).

A device for soldering, in particular for reflow soldering, of at least one assembly, having a process chamber arrangement, comprises at least two process chambers for preparing a soldering method and/or for carrying out a soldering method and/or for post-processing a soldering method, wherein the at least two process chambers are arranged above one another, in particular in a stack-like manner.

A method of soldering one or more components to a substrate includes providing a substrate and applying an amount of solder material to the top planar surface of the substrate. One or more electrical components are mounted to the solder material in a predetermined position and orientation. A carrier is provided having one or more magnets embedded therein. The substrate is positioned above the carrier such that each of the one or more magnets is positioned directly below a corresponding electrical component. A carrier cover is positioned above the substrate and the electrical components. The solder material is heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time during which each of the magnets exerts a magnetic force on a corresponding electrical component to maintain its orientation relative to the substrate. The magnets reduce the occurrence of tombstoning of the electrical components during heating of the solder material.

A solder supply unit includes a base member, a reel holder that is provided on the base member and rotatably holds a reel of a tape-like solder material, a support member provided on the base member, and a guidance member that is provided on the support member and that guides at least a lower surface of the tape-like solder material wound around the reel when the tape-like solder material is fed out.
