Assess the design data
Review board data, target connections and the existing manufacturing method. Define data formats and preparation requirements at the start of the project.

CAD to Solder
From board design to robot tasks.
Each new electronic board may require new robot programming and process validation. CAD to Solder is our automation development initiative aimed at turning board design data into robotic soldering tasks, making that transition more systematic and reusable.
Reduce repeated preparation for new boards.
For businesses introducing varied boards and product revisions, preparing task points, adapting robot motion and validating soldering processes creates engineering work. Our approach is to build design-data processing and robot-task preparation into a shared software and process library.
From design to a validated application
Prepare robot tasks
Use design information to prepare soldering tasks for the selected robot and cell layout.
Integrate the cell
Address the robot, soldering equipment, board fixturing and control software as components of one process.
Validate process and acceptance
Test workflows on sample boards. Agree quality and acceptance criteria with the customer, and capture reusable application knowledge for subsequent boards.
Intended benefits
Easier product changeovers
Reduce repeated programming work for new boards and revisions.
Consistent task preparation
Prepare robot tasks through a shared approach to data and process.
Growing engineering knowledge
Carry task templates, robot adaptations and validation experience into subsequent projects.

How is project scope defined?
Assess board variety, existing design files, target connections, robot and equipment infrastructure, intended workflows and acceptance expectations together. CAD to Solder development matures through customer projects and pilot applications; robot compatibility and supported data formats are defined per project.
