Original Abstract Submitted

A soldering system for processing at least one printed circuit board. The system comprises a first solder pot and a second solder pot, each configured to move within a movement plane. At least one of the first solder pot and the second solder pot is further configured to rotate about a solder pot axis extending transverse to the movement plane. The first solder pot and the second solder pot can be moved relative to the at least one printed circuit board, and at least one of the first solder pot and the second solder pot can be rotated about its solder pot axis relative to the at least one printed circuit board, to simultaneously process the at least one printed circuit board using both solder pots. The soldering system may thus be used to process either a single printed circuit board with both solder pots simultaneously or a pair of printed circuit boards simultaneously with each solder pot processing one of the pair of printed circuit boards. A corresponding soldering method is also disclosed.
