A flux applying device for applying flux to a surface of solder, wherein the flux applying device includes: a dipping means that applies the flux to the surface of the solder by dipping the solder into the flux; a load applying means that applies a predetermined load to the solder, the load applying means being provided at a upstream side of the dipping means; a constant speed conveying means that conveys the solder at a predetermined speed with being under load by the load applying means; a drying means that dries the solder to which the flux is applied; a cooling means that cools the dried solder; a conveying speed measurement means that measures a conveying speed of the solder; and a control means that controls the conveying speed of the solder.

Flux applying device

In the flux applying device, a control portion controls conveying rollers or the like so that thickness of flux applied to solder is controlled. The winding roller rotates so that the solder is conveyed at the conveying speed. The drawing-out roller applies any load (back tension) to the solder backward along the conveying direction of the solder when drawing out the solder. The solder is conveyed at the predetermined speed and dipped into the flux tank containing flux. The solder is pulled up from the flux tank at the conveying speed vertically. By pulling up the solder from the flux tank at the constant conveying speed vertically, the interfacial tension acts on the solderand the flux, so that the flux having a uniform thickness according to the conveying speed remains on the surface and back surface of the solder.
