Austin American Technology (AAT) is pleased to announce that it received a 2021 GLOBAL Technology Award in the category of Cleaning Equipment for its redesigned X Series Stencil Cleaner. The award was announced during a ceremony that took place Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2021. during productronica in Munich, Germany.
Austin American Technology’s redesigned X Series Stencil Cleaner is available with either a 30in or 40in configuration. X Series Vertical Format Batch Cleaning Systems provide maximum chemistry flexibility to meet a wide variety of applications. Aqueous, saponification, semi-aqueous, alcohols and hybrid solvents can be utilized to remove flux residues, solder pastes, inks, adhesives and other residues from boards, stencils, or tooling used in the production process.
The X Series system is designed around counter-rotating blind hole high energy spray bars. The added pressure allows the system to successfully clean fine pitch stencils, low stand-off components, misprinted through hole, blind assemblies, and the ability to remove uncured glues and adhesives, yet gentle enough to use on frameless and foil stencils.
The X Series is the first series of cleaners manufactured to meet all CFX standards. It uses modern era smart technology while maintaining the durability and technology that has made the X Series a top choice for stencil cleaners since 1988. Available upgrades include PCB & Misprint Cleaning.
The GLOBAL Technology Awards have recognized the very best new innovations in the printed circuit assembly and packaging industries since 2005. The prestigious awards contest has been bringing together the global SMT and advanced packaging industry in a celebration of the companies and people that are achieving the highest standards and driving our industry forward.
