I need some feedback on aqueous cleaners. We currently use a Unit Design batch cleaner. We will be looking to upgrade our board washing process and batch sizes in the near future. I am looking for user info. on the advantages/disadvantages to using b

James, I am not a cleaning technician. My company buys and sells mostly used capital equipment. I can tell you from a service point of view, Technical Devices is the most highly recommended of the companies you are considering. They are always av

This probably a reflow issue, not a cleaning issue. Although ultrasonic cleaners are not normally used in post-reflow applications (fear of internal wire bond damage), I have never heard of broken solder joints caused by an ultrasonic cleaning syst

I don't have any direct experience with Speedline or Austin America, but you may want to consider a Technical Devices cleaner. I have bought 2 used Technical Devices Cleaners and have had no problems with them at all. The support I received from th

Adding a Chemistry will reduce density of solution to get under the devices more effectively. You can clean your OA flux residues well enough with just hot water and hot DI water rinse. Top batch cleaners: http://www.speedlinetech.com/electrovert/aqu

Waste Water from any cleaner must be recycled or treated before going to drain. That is the case in most states in the USA. The wash solution that is mixed with a chemistry cannot be processed thru a water recycling system, only the rinse water can.

I know your frustration. CP6 feeders are notorious for this issue. They have always been an issue. You have probably went through the "change spring, change tape leaf, change component reel, place peeler tape over two rollers instead of three" scenar

WA Engineer, Good Morning, Your cleaning system requirements will depend on your chemistry use in production. Are you using RMA or OA flux? This will impact the requirements of the cleaning system. OA will allow you to use a DI water cleaner. If you

Hi, What contributes to the above? I've got some BGA solder joints with a crystal like flux attached to it like a mini solder ball but do not have a perfect round shape. I had my aqueous cleaner's DI water sent for analysis and everything looks okay
