Abstract:
Systems and methods for soldering a workpiece using a solder application system. A nozzle includes a plurality of walls and a floor that together define a nozzle reservoir for containing liquid solder. The plurality of walls also define a soldering region that is external to the nozzle reservoir. The plurality of walls in the soldering region define holes that are configured to dispense the liquid solder from the nozzle reservoir. The holes are configured such that the liquid solder dispensed therefrom merges into a combined stream and the workpiece is soldered when placed into the combined stream

Claim (Index 1):
A nozzle for soldering a workpiece using a solder application system, the nozzle comprising:\n a plurality of walls and a floor that together define a nozzle reservoir for containing liquid solder filled up to a fill height therein, wherein the plurality of walls also define a soldering region that is external to the nozzle reservoir, wherein the plurality of walls in the soldering region define a plurality of holes that are each defined below the fill height and each configured to dispense a stream of the liquid solder from the nozzle reservoir; wherein when the liquid solder is filled up to at least the fill height, a head pressure is generated at each of the plurality of holes such that the stream of the liquid solder is dispensed therefrom; and wherein the nozzle is configured such that the workpiece is soldered when placed into the soldering region.
