Paste providing method, soldering method and apparatus and system therefor

This invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for filling through holes made in a printed circuit board or the like with paste-like substance, and a method, apparatus and system for soldering the printed circuit board or the like filled with the paste-like substance. More particularly this invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for filling the through holes with paste-like substance using a roller with adding power for rotating the roller. A soldering system which reduces the numbers of steps for paste supply and soldering onto a printed circuit board. A printed circuit board has through holes through which a lead of each provided part is to be inserted. A printing mask is matched with the through holes and a paste receiving plate having holes to which solder paste is supplied corresponding to the through holes is disposed. A printing roller is swept by forcibly rotating it to fill with solder paste, then a printing squeegee follows the printing roller to further fill through holes. Parts are loaded on the through holes and reflowing is carried out on the printed circuit board and paste receiving plate, so that the parts are soldered to the printed circuit board.
