Digital Thermal Processing

Digital Thermal Processing™ is an exciting new means of sustainably delivering applied energy for manufacturing. PulseForge Soldering Batch is a high-intensity pulsed light solution that erases traditional thermal processing limitations and opens up exciting new possibilities to build your most advanced innovations. PulseForge tools deliver localized, non-equilibrium heating so there is no damage to heat-sensitive substrates. The PulseForge Soldering Batch system is ideally suited for advanced R&D, process development, and pilot scale deployment, in applications such as aerospace, automotive, AR/MR/VR, displays, photovoltaics, sensors, and wearables.

 

PulseForge tools enable you to:

• Solder directly onto flexible, inexpensive and thermally sensitive substrates such as plastic, paper, or fabric
• Solder directly onto curved surfaces
• Solder sensitive components like regular batteries and sensors
• Heat only targeted areas instead of volumetric heating

Digital Thermal Processing™ is the greener solution for manufacturing that offers a significant improvement in capabilities. Once your process is validated you can go into production with the PulseForge Soldering In-Line tool. What could you build with a PulseForge tool?
