SOLDERPAL SPEED TEST

Electronic Manufacturing Of Texas did a soldering speed test between SolderPal and the old way we used to solder (solder spool on top of table, and pulling the solder by hand). Two speed tests were done, one for CIRCUIT BOARDS and the other for WIRE SOLDERING.

CIRCUIT BOARD SPEED TEST: Two twenty-four pin ICs were used for the solder speed test by each Employee. One IC was soldered with the SolderPal and the other was soldered the old way. A stop watch was used to measure the time required to solder each IC. The results are listed below.

Employee SolderPal Old way we used
to solder		 Speed increase %
with SolderPal
No. 1 75 seconds 97 seconds 22.68 % increase
No. 2 87 seconds 119 seconds 26.89 % increase
No. 3 171 seconds 223 seconds 23.31 % increase
No. 4 84 seconds 123 seconds 31.70 % increase
WIRE SOLDERING SPEED TEST: Two # 12 AWG wires were stripped and twisted together and flux was added to the wires. A stop watch was used to measure the time required to solder each twisted pair of wires. The results are listed below.
Employee SolderPal Old way we used
to solder		 Speed increase %
with SolderPal
No. 1 25 seconds 59 seconds 57.62 % increase
No. 2 36 seconds 120 seconds 69.36 % increase
No. 3 31 seconds 121 seconds 74.38 % increase
No. 4 32 seconds 104 seconds 69.23 % increase
As you can see from the figures above, even if you solder at a fast rate, medium rate or even a very careful slow rate you will still see about a 25% to 50% increase in soldering speed.

Note: Electronic Manufacturing of Texas Employees have used the SolderPal for some time now so please use the SolderPal for about a week and then take the SOLDERPAL SPEED TEST.

EXTRA INCREASE IN SOLDERING SPEED

The SOLDERPAL speed test did not include all the stops and starts that typically occur when soldering for a long period of time. Throughout the day you are constantly picking up the solder wire and then dropping it any place on your table, and later you have to find the solder wire to pick it up again. But with the SolderPal you always know the location of the solder dispenser probe, and this can also increase the soldering speed.

SOLDERPAL will pay for itself in a very short time
with the considerable increases it brings in soldering speed.
