Abstract

In a basic variant of a soldering device whereby a laser device is used for melting solder material (3), a protective device is provided which protects the laser lens system (22) from suctioned liquid solder material. Protection of the laser lens system can be achieved by a transverse flow from an inlet channel (23) into an outlet channel (24) and/or by a diaphragm (39) arranged in front of the laser lens system.
