Patent ID: 8205783

Claim:
A soldering apparatus having an operation mode that includes a production mode that solders an electronic component on a circuit board and a temperature profile mode that measures a temperature of the circuit board carried in a main body of the soldering apparatus, in the temperature profile mode, the apparatus comprising: the main body; an information means that informs warning; an operation unit that sets a starting time of the warning to be issued by the information means; a sensor that detects the circuit board carried into the main body of the soldering apparatus, the sensor being provided near an entrance of the main body of the soldering apparatus; and a control unit that determines whether or not the starting time of the warning issue by the information means, the starting time being set by the operation unit, has come, on the basis of a detection result detected by the sensor, wherein the starting time of the warning issue by the information means includes a warning-issue-point-of-time before circuit-board-discharge indicating a point of time when the warning issues before the circuit board reaches an exit of the main body of the soldering apparatus, and the control unit calculates a point of time when the warning is issued based on the warning-issue-point-of-time, a carrying speed of the circuit board and a carrying distance in the main body of the soldering apparatus, and in the temperature profile mode, the control unit controls the information means to issue the warning when the control unit determines that the starting time of the warning issue has come.
