Claims
- 1. A soldering method for soldering for a work moving on a conveyor line, said soldering method comprising the steps of:moving a movable member cyclically between a first position and a second position, a first soldering iron and a second soldering iron being at least attached to said movable member; soldering with said first soldering iron and cleaning said second soldering iron when said movable member is set at said first position; and soldering with said second soldering iron and cleaning said first soldering iron when said movable member is set at said second position.
- 2. A soldering method according to claim 1, wherein said conveyor line is a conveyor belt on which a plurality of said works are put at a predetermined pitch, said conveyor belt being intermittently moved by said pitch and soldering being performed while said conveyor belt stops.
- 3. A soldering method according to claim 2, wherein said movable member moves in a rectangular direction relative to a moving direction of said conveyor belt.
- 4. A soldering method according to claim 3, wherein said first soldering iron and said second soldering iron are disposed at an interval L and said first position is away from said second position by a same distance with said interval L.
- 5. A soldering method according to claim 4, wherein said first soldering iron and said second soldering iron are cleaned by shooting air so as to remove solder remaining on tips of said soldering irons.
- 6. A soldering method for soldering for a work during conveyance thereof, said soldering method comprising the steps of:moving a movable member to which a first soldering iron and a second soldering iron are attached at a predetermined interval, said movable member being moved by a prescribed distance in order to set said first soldering iron at a first cleaning position for cleaning and to set said second soldering iron at a working position for soldering; soldering for said work with said second soldering iron set at said working position; cleaning said first soldering iron set at said first cleaning position while soldering for said work is performed; and returning said movable member by said prescribed distance in order to set said first soldering iron at said working position and to set said second soldering iron at a second cleaning position for cleaning.
- 7. A soldering method according to claim 6, wherein said movable member is a sliding plate reciprocating in a rectangular direction relative to a conveying direction of said work.
- 8. A soldering method according to claim 7, wherein said soldering irons are cleaned by shooting air so as to remove solder remaining on a tip of said soldering iron.
- 9. A soldering method according to claim 8, further comprising the step of:collecting said removed solder with a vessel disposed at said cleaning position.
