Co-solvent approach
May 1st 2004 JJS Electronics has boosted productivity and improved cleaning since installing a co-solvent cleaning system from Kerry Ultrasonics at its Lutterworth site.
The Microsolve M450C removes post-reflow flux, post wave flux and hand soldering residues from surface-mounted and conventional boards destined for military and commercial use.
The four-stage process uses an ultrasonic frequency of 70kHz in both cleaning and rinse stages, thereby safeguarding delicate boards while maintaining high level cleaning performance. The final two stages comprise a vapour rinse and a freeboard dry.
An Autotrans Mini work handling system has allowed the process to be automated and productivity has increased as a direct result. More articles from Kerry Ultrasonics Ltd: |
