Martin Easy Solder

Introduction

Picture of machine:

Find the power switch on the top-backside of the machine inside the triangle.

After turning on the machine, open the software labeled "EasySolder 7".

Confirm the connection is completed on the bottom left of the software.

Board Setup

Before continuing, we must make sure our selected board is placed correctly on the machine. Start by finding the board holder at the front of the machine.

Using the front handle, open the spring and load you board onto the grates. Gently release the holder and secure your board.

Here are the rest of the components used. The black chip will be the component we will solder/desolder onto the board and the wire is the thermometer used to show the heat info of the chip on top of the board.

The IR Temperature Sensor Module is used to measure the temperature of the board itself. Find the red dot and point it at the board away from the chip.

Software Setup

Start by creating a new workspace. Click "Workspace" on the top of the software and select "New".

Name your workspace here and click "Create".

Create a new project by selecting "Project" then "New".

Name your project and click "Add"

Create a new board by selecting "Board" and then "Add".

Name your board and select the correct underheater. Then click "Add"

Here is what the software should now look like.

Now lastly, add your tool by selecting "Component" and "Add".

Select your tool used for the process. In this case we used a BGA 23x23 tool. Click "Add" once picked.

You should now see a profiles section under your defined component. Click the plus button on the bottom left.

Here, add your profile name and select the "Open" button.

Here you will be able to choose whether you want to solder or desolder as well as changing various inputs. For this example, no variable changes were made.

Soldering

For soldering, placement will be necessary before running the Run Profile stage. Start by clicking "Placement".

Here you will see the camera turn on. The camera will show where your board will be placed. Notice the red lines surrounding the board. Move the red circle to line up the lines to the board.

Here is what they looked like lined up.

Select "Vacuum On"

Place your component under the vacuum shown like in the picture.

Select "Lower Component" on the right hand side of the software.

Line up the red circles with the outline of the chip. Here you should be as precise as possible. Small rotational adjustments may be manually needed to make sure the chip is straight. Finally, click "Auto Place" and the chip will be placed down.

When ready, select "Run Autoprofile" in the bottom left.

The process will start and you will be able to see the temperature changes along the graph. Each line represents a different temperature gauge on the machine. Be careful around this machine! It can get very hot.

When done with the run, make sure you turn on the fans to cool the machine faster!
