SCARA Hybrid Desoldering Tool Design
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I need a complete mechanical design for a compact desoldering end-effector that mounts securely to a SCARA or an articulated robot arm. The concept must blend a precise hot-air element with an integrated vacuum line so the tool can deliver heat and suction in one motion. Both temperature and suction should be controllable through the robot’s I/O, so please allow space for embedded sensors, wiring, and quick-disconnect pneumatics.
Core expectations
• 3D CAD model (STEP and native format) showing the heated nozzle, vacuum pathway, mounting flange, and protective shrouds.
• Basic thermal layout: where the heater cartridge, thermocouple, and insulation sit, ensuring surrounding plastics stay below their limit.
• Pneumatic circuit sketch and recommended miniature pump or venturi parts list.
• BOM with off-the-shelf components, fasteners, and any custom-machined parts clearly marked.
• Brief control interface description: expected voltage/current for the heater, sensor types, and pneumatic actuation points so I can map them to the SCARA’s controller.
I’ll run first-pass reviews on printability, reach envelope, and weight; Provide editable files so I can make small tweaks later if needed.
If you’ve designed soldering or pick-and-place tooling before, let me know—otherwise just show me you understand hybrid heat-and-vacuum systems and can keep the footprint within a typical 100 mm work envelope. Looking forward to seeing a clever, serviceable design that lets my SCARA desolder boards hands-free.
