Abstract
Soldering apparatus which comprises a frame member and a reciprocating member movably mounted on the frame member for movement with respect to an anvil member having a component to be soldered supported thereon. A soldering tip is mounted on the reciprocating member and has a soldering face which is moved on an advance stroke into contact with the component on the anvil member to heat the component to soldering temperature. A generally vertical passage is formed through the soldering tip and opens at the lower end through the soldering face. A roll of solder wire is provided for supplying a predetermined quantity of flux-cored solder into the upper end of the passage to fall into contact with the heated component whereby the flux is automatically heated and melted to clean the surface of the component before the solder is melted to form the soldered joint. An air jet or a reamer is also provided for cleaning the passage during a return stroke.
