We deliver reliable, process-stable wave soldering systems for through-hole and mixed-technology PCB assembly.
In partnership with IEMME
Lightwell Technologies offers a comprehensive range of wave soldering solutions in partnership with IEMME, an established European manufacturer specializing in high-quality soldering systems for SMT and mixed-technology production.
The IEMME wave soldering portfolio supports applications ranging from prototyping and low-volume assembly to medium and high-volume production environments. All systems are engineered for process stability, ease of maintenance, and consistent soldering quality in both leaded and lead-free processes.
Compact solution for prototyping, R&D, and low-volume assembly environments
ARIES is a compact and reliable benchtop wave soldering system designed for low-volume production, prototyping, and laboratory environments. Its simple operation, energy-efficient design, and durable construction make it ideal for customers seeking dependable soldering performance with minimal footprint.
Designed for small to medium production with improved throughput and process stability
VENUS is designed for customers transitioning from prototyping to small and medium production volumes. It provides stable soldering performance with automated control features while maintaining a compact system layout.
Built for consistent medium to high volume manufacturing operations
ARGO is engineered for higher throughput production lines requiring improved thermal control and enhanced process repeatability. It supports a wider range of SMT assemblies while maintaining a balanced system footprint.
Optimized for larger production lines requiring extended thermal control and higher capacity
TALOS is a flexible wave soldering machine designed for manufacturers requiring higher capacity, configurable preheating, and advanced fluxing control. It is available in inline and carrier-type configurations to suit different production flows.
Engineered for high-volume manufacturing with robust construction and advanced process control
PHOENIX represents IEMME’s high-capacity wave soldering solution for demanding, high-volume production environments. It is designed to support continuous operation with enhanced thermal control, fluxing flexibility, and serviceability.
