Precision solder welding for RF center pins

WELDING EQUIPMENT · LP-CW2060

Built for Stable, Repeatable Crimping Quality

Center-Pin Welder in one sentence: The LP-CW2060 solders coaxial center pins for RG58, SMA and 178 antennas under a controlled temperature profile and repeatable solder volume. It replaces manual soldering, where uneven tin volume and low yield make high-frequency RF assemblies hard to run at volume.

Center Pin Welder
Center Pin Welder detail

The LP-CW2060 performs automatic center-pin welding for RG58, SMA and 178 antennas with a controlled solder volume and temperature profile, delivering stable, repeatable joints for high-frequency RF interconnects.

  • Closed-loop temperature profile control
  • Precise, repeatable solder volume
  • Optional vision-assisted alignment
  • Per-cycle data logging
  • Stable joints for high-frequency RF
  • Low scrap on fine-pitch parts

Typical applications: Telecom & 5G / RF · Automotive Electronics · Radar & Communications

Where the Center-Pin Welder fits

Where it does not fit

It is built for center-pin joints on the listed coax families, not for bulk cable soldering, heavy busbar work or mechanical crimping. Joint results depend on clean, correctly stripped surfaces, so preparation still matters at the upstream station.

Center-Pin Welder — FAQ

Which cables does the LP-CW2060 process?+
RG58, SMA and 178 assemblies within its supported fixture set. If you run a different coax family, send a sample and the team will check tooling and process before quoting.
Why is a closed-loop temperature profile important?+
Solder volume and joint strength follow heat input. Holding a controlled profile per part removes the variation that manual soldering produces, which is where most RF scrap and rework originates.
Can it be fitted with vision?+
Vision-assisted alignment is available where part pitch requires it. It helps hold concentricity, which directly affects return loss and VSWR at high frequency.
What records does the machine keep?+
Each cycle can be logged, giving per-part evidence of the joining parameters. That supports customer audits and helps trace a joint back to a process setting later.
What are MOQ and lead time?+
MOQ is one set. Standard configurations are quoted at around 45 working days, confirmed per order. A written quote follows within 24 working hours of receiving your part details.
Does this replace manual soldering entirely?+
For repeated center-pin joints on supported cables, yes in practice. Unusual one-off part geometries may still need manual work, which is why sample evaluation is offered before purchase.

Why It Matters

Where the Center-Pin Welder Fits in Your Line

Connector and wire-harness production lives or dies on repeatability. Manual crimping and bench assembly introduce operator-to-operator variation, scattered process steps and rework that only surface at final test. The Center-Pin Welder concentrates welding equipment into a controlled, data-logging station so quality is built in, not inspected in.

It is most often specified for Telecom & 5G / RF, Automotive Electronics, Radar & Communications, where unstable accuracy, high scrap and slow delivery are the recurring pain points. Because recipes and process data are digitized, the same machine scales from low-volume, high-mix programs to high-volume production without re-engineering the cell.

FAQ

Center-Pin Welder — FAQ

Which connector types is the Center-Pin Welder suitable for?+
It targets Telecom & 5G / RF, Automotive Electronics, Radar & Communications. Share your connector drawing or sample and we confirm fit, then store a validated recipe per part number.
Does the Center-Pin Welder support MES / traceability?+
Yes. Production data — force curves, counts and per-cycle records — export via MES / OPC-UA for full traceability.
What throughput can I expect?+
See the Technical Data table for this model's rated output (pcs/h). Real-world rate depends on part complexity and feeding method.
Can you build a custom automated line around this machine?+
Yes. Beyond the standard machine we deliver custom turnkey lines based on self-developed patents and your specific process.
