I saw this system at one of the last APEX Shows. I was not impressed because of the many downsides and potential hazards. Strapping an electrical device on your hand and placing the device into a liquid is kind of like blow-drying your hair in a ba

I would recommend pH neutral chemistries, particularly if a semi-automatic machine is to be used. There are many chemistries available. A partial list of chemistries that I have tested, and that are compatible with a variety of cleaning equipment i

I�m using Zestron's Vigon sc 200 in our ultrasonic cleaner. It works great for cleaning our adhevises and pastes (RMA and no clean) from stencils and misprinted PCBs. We used to use a saponifier which did a terrible cleaning job and was a real pain t

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cleaning solution used in an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning RMA solder paste off stencils and adhesive off pcb boards. I am going to be evaluating Armakleen 2001, Zestron Vigon SC 200, and Aqueous Technologies

Hi Peter, Just curious, what do you have against Smart Sonic? I have heard and seen some very good things about their srencil-cleaning process. We are also still cleaning by hand, but it seems that everytime I visit another facility to evaluate new

At the OSHA training institute, our instructor stuck an electric drill in a bucket of water to demonstrate what proper grounding will do. Personally I wasn't going to try it. All our fluxes are no-clean, and are IPA based. Granted we used aqueous

We used to clean our stencils by hand as well but 2005 we steped up to a ppc-n29tp stencil ultrasonic cleaner has worked great for us I would suggest a machine cleaning system it gets the stencils more clean then doing it by hand

Hi, Maybe Yes� Maybe No� Actually, it most likely is acceptable to clean assembled boards in an ultrasonic cleaning system (40 kHz). There are some concerns in some circles about possible damage to wire bonds in components. There have been publi

To all following this string, there is at least one other chemistry which has passed the South Coast Air Quality Management District testing and has Clean Air Solvent CERTIFICATION! Call Zestron for details 703-589-1198. Dave
