Precision Robotic Soldering for Electronics Manufacturing

In high-volume electronics production, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Comau delivers a robotic soldering solution that combines compact design, high-speed movement, and sub-millimeter precision—ideal for delicate components and modular cells.

Combining Comau’s robotic expertise with ETNEO’s advanced soldering technology, this solution delivers consistent, high-quality soldering results for electronics manufacturers.

This video highlights an automated soldering cell featuring a Comau Racer-3-0.63 robot equipped with a dispensing-soldering system and an integrated vision-based quality control unit.

At a high-volume electronics manufacturing facility, Comau deployed a fully automated soldering cell designed to handle intricate components with precision and consistency.

  • The Comau Racer-3-0.63 replicates the accuracy of manual soldering—even in space-constrained cells
  • A built-in vision system checks each solder point in real time, ensuring 100% quality control
  • The robotic cell integrates directly into the existing production line with minimal downtime
  • An intuitive programming interface simplifies operation and accelerates changeovers
  • The system delivers reliable, flexible performance with full support for evolving product designs

Comau’s robotic expertise enables electronics manufacturers to automate soldering with confidence, precision, and future-proof scalability.

The solution ensures:

  • Consistent defect detection and process traceability
  • Accurate soldering in tight spaces
  • Easy programming and quick deployment
  • Seamless integration with conveyor systems

At the core of the solution is the Comau Racer-3-0.63, a high-speed 6-axis robot designed for sub-millimeter accuracy. Integrated with a dispensing-soldering system, it delivers consistent quality across varying solder joint types and locations.

A built-in vision system provides real-time inspection of each solder joint, automatically verifying quality and detecting defects—ensuring only compliant assemblies proceed downstream.

The robotic cell is compact and fully modular, making it easy to integrate into conveyor-based production lines. Standard interfaces ensure quick connection with upstream and downstream processes.

Operators can program the system using Comau’s intuitive interface, minimizing the learning curve. The complete solution offers single-point support for hardware, process, and vision systems.

Comau provides trusted, high-precision robotics for industries where speed, space optimization, and accuracy are essential—especially in electronics manufacturing.

The Racer-3-0.63 robot delivers fast, repeatable motion with a small footprint, enabling seamless operation in densely packed production cells.

By combining robotic soldering with built-in vision control, Comau ensures process reliability and zero-defect quality assurance, aligned with the highest electronics manufacturing standards.

Whether you’re producing a single PCB type or managing multi-product lines, Comau’s modular approach ensures your automation evolves with your production needs.
