Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, is pleased to announce that the company now manufactures ACE Custom Wave Solder Nozzles for the KISS range of selective soldering machines.

As Selective soldering becomes more popular in the electronics manufacturing (EMS) industry, Count On Tools has realized the need for higher quality selective solder nozzles that can consistently apply flux and solder to component leads without disturbing nearby SMT components. Count On Tools’ custom ACE Custom Wave Solder nozzles help to replace labor-intensive hand soldering while eliminating defects caused by wave soldering machines in the market’s most popular selective soldering equipment.

By utilizing superior steel alloys made in the USA along with the latest precision machining technologies, Count On Tools is able to produce selective soldering nozzles that are as durable and can last longer than those from the OEM, while still maintaining all of the original design properties. The company offers custom selective solder nozzles based on specific application requirements. This includes special wave form sizes and extended or shortened lengths. Generally, these nozzles can be completed in 3-5 days with savings up to 50 percent less than OEM nozzles. Count On Tools also provides identification marks that enable customers to easily identify lead nozzles from lead-free versions.

“During the development of our selective soldering product line, we strived to design a nozzle that would outperform OEM versions by lasting longer without wearing, be more accurate and work more consistently over time in the selective soldering process. These three processes are critical in the function of this equipment. We were able to not only meet this goal, but also to lower the cost of the nozzle,” said Zachery Shook, Marketing Director of Count On Tools, Inc.

All nozzles are guaranteed to function properly with the original equipment. Every selective solder nozzle manufactured by Count On Tools comes standard with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. If any customer is not 100 percent satisfied with the performance or quality of a product, Count On Tools will replace it or offer a full refund.
