Umut Tosun, M.S.Chem.Eng., Application Technology Manager at ZESTRON, the global leader in high precision cleaning products and services for the electronics manufacturing industry, will present “Troubleshooting Your Cleaning Process for High Reliability” on Sunday, February 26th (2 pm to 5 pm) at the IPC APEX Expo 2012.
The precision cleaning market has gained tremendous momentum due to the move to lead-free pastes and the corresponding increased reflow profiles. Low standoff devices and miniaturization have raised the bar for cleaning performance when the demand for high reliability is paramount. As a result, equipment and chemical suppliers are driven to innovate like never before: today's aqueous-based cleaning processes have improved cleanliness levels and lowered overall cleaning costs while proving to be safe, environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional solvent-based agents. While limited budget and staff can decrease focus on the cleaning process, daily operational procedures and "how-to" tools are available. In addition to providing insight on these procedures and tools, this course will offer attendees the opportunity to discuss their process problems in order to derive practical solutions.
What you will learn:
- Process problem identification
- General mechanical and chemical interactions and impact
- Hands-on, troubleshooting guidelines (foaming, rinsing, drying, etc.)
- Identifying cost drivers and implementing cost-savings measures
