The SB-1:
The Only Fully Automated Soldering Robot

Three SB-1 Fully Automated Hand Soldering Robots working in an assembly line.

More Consistency, More Profit

The SB-1 is Adaptive Robotics’ answer to all of your hand soldering needs. Our robot is built to replicate many of the skills previously reserved for hand soldering in electronics manufacturing.

Shifting production from human labor to robotics allows you to reduce your cycle time and avoid the unpredictable downtime factors of human labor.

Skilled Labor Shortage Solved

We built SB-1 to be your company’s next best hire. Finding and replacing skilled labor is costly, time-consuming, and can lead to further production delays.

The SB-1 eliminates this financial stress and unpredictability from your business and protects you from the production bottlenecks caused by labor turnover that jeopardize contracts and business relationships.

Programming Your SB-1

Check out our demo below, which shows off how the SB-1 can be programmed step by step to handle your most complex hand soldering production needs. You can see how the SB-1’s robotic arm documents its entire field of view and responds in real time to new steps being added to the production process.

Parts and Labor Warranty

The SB-1 was designed and manufactured in the USA by soldering professionals. It’s made for the rigors of commercial production, and multiple machines can be programmed for production load management.

For additional peace of mind, all SB-1 automated soldering robots include a 1-year warranty for any required parts and labor.

We also provide ongoing technical support throughout the warranty period, and we’ll continue to be here as your partner to ensure the SB-1 is the most consistent machine in your assembly line.

The New Generation of Automated Hand Soldering

The New Generation of Automated Hand Soldering

As a team of hand soldering professionals, we knew firsthand the inefficiencies and limitations of current automated hand-soldering machines. So we set out to make the first truly end-to-end automated soldering robot, and the SB-1 was born.

Each SB-1 is purpose-built to make your hand soldering process smarter, faster, more reliable, and ultimately more profitable.
