PowerClean II cleans lead-free circuit boards during manufacturing, rework and repair. Formula is based on Vertrel solvents from DuPont and VersaTrans solvents from PPG. Said to be ideal replacement for ozone-depleting solvents. Is alcohol-free with reportedly no risk of white residues.
Alpha EF-2210 wave solder flux offers soldering and electrical reliability performance. Complies with environmental regulations. Is a VOC-free, no-clean, low-solids, rosin-free flux that passes the Bellcore SIR electrical reliability requirement. Uses an activator system said to minimize micro-solder balls, bridging and icicles. Water-based, non-flammable formula. Is Pb-free and SnPb compatible.
The AX-201 places many different types of components with a reported accuracy of better than 20 microns at single-digit defects per million. Places 01005 components, fine-pitch devices and odd-form components up to 130 x 79 mm with machine vision and laser alignment. Is suitable for both stand-alone and line-balancing applications with the AX-301 or AX-501. It has a placement rate of up to 18,000 cph. Placement force is programmable from 0.9 to 40 N. Feeders are configurable to hold up to 212 pick positions and 376 Jedec trays. Shares common user interface, feeders, trolleys and placement heads with other A-Series machines. Is designed for medium and large batch production in both high and low product mix environments.
