Hi, Not so sure. I know one of the equipment can do it, there is Kolb RB6D. This system can clean stencil, misprint, assembly board, etc. This Kolb also provide chemcil for the correct cleaner. Hope this can help you. Email to me if you need any he

Eric, The Kolb RB6D (and the RB5D) are not ultrasonic cleaners. They are high pressure spray cleaners. I would not recommend high pressure spray cleaners for misprinted assemblies with previously placed components (unless you don�t mind solder pas

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

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
