Abstract

A wave soldering apparatus includes a frame having a first end and wave solder equipment supported with respect to the frame. The wave solder equipment is configured to apply solder to a circuit board. A circuit board transporter is supported with respect to the frame, and is configured to receive a circuit board adjacent the first end of the frame, to move the circuit board away from the first end of the frame and over the wave solder equipment which applies solder to the circuit board, and to return the circuit board for retrieval adjacent the first end of the frame.
