HAL5000 Series Hot Air Leveling Systems
The HAL5224 Hot Air Solder Leveling System is designed to provide the highest quality solder leveling at high throughput rates while preserving the highest reliability and serviceability standards available. Argus International has been designing, building and operating HASL systems for over a decade. The experience earned in a decade of dedication to engineering the HASL process is evident by the high quality work produced.

Stainless steel construction, integrated exhaust hood ducting, complete solder pot accessibility, high speed DC motor driven vertical arm, and fixed angle air knives are just a few of the features that are standard on the HAL5224. Also available are a variety of 'quick-change' clamping mechanisms, remote control console and solder refinement systems. These features combine to produce 200 panels an hour average, 350 panels an hour maximum.

The clamp/knife arrangements most commonly used are the 'Pressure' and 'Pin' type clamp/knife arrangements. The 'Pressure' type clamp utilizes air pressure to apply a finger type force to the panel. The 'Pin' type clamp uses two tooling pins to 'hang' the board and air pressure force pulling the board upward and locking it into place. The 'Pin' type clamp requires that the board have two strategically placed holes for proper operation. The Standard clamp/knife arrangement is named such because it is designed to provide the user with the uniform coatings over the largest range of thickness’ available. The 'Pin' type clamp/knife arrangement is intended for use with applications that require very thin (.1 mil and less), highly uniform solder coatings. This is accomplished by bringing the air knife blast in very close proximity to the board surface. Flexible Circuit clamping mechanisms are also available.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
CONTROL CONSOLE: NEMA rated console placing the system controls on the machine (swivel) or remote at distance between 0 to 10 feet [3 meters] from the machine.
INCREASED HEATING CAPIBILITY: This greatly reduces heat sinking of solder temperatures during heavy work load demand.
CLAMP/KNIFE ARRANGEMENT: Standard, Thin Coat and Flex Circuit clamping mechanisms may be selected as options with the machine.
These options provide the user with three of the most common board clamp/air knife arrangements. 
ELECTRICAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Circuit Breaker service is 3-phase configuration with a good Ground.
