‘Plug’n Spray’ spray fluxer is a drop-in replacement for foam, wave and first-generation spray fluxers. Reportedly gives the operator control over critical parameters in the fluxing process to achieve a uniform, well-defined flux deposit and excellent wicking in through-holes. Works with no-clean, alcohol or water-based (VOC-free) flux. Claims to save up to 40% more flux than comparable fluxing systems.
Designed for the specific physical and chemical properties of no-clean flux technology, such as the typical range for surface tension and capillary viscosity of water-based fluxes. Design eliminates over- and under- spraying.
Features an air-driven, high-precision nozzle with an adjustable cone. Has computer-controlled movement, defined spray angle, short distance (30 mm) to the board surface and adjustable pressure setting of the nozzle. Nozzle is mounted on a table that is driven by magnetic force.
The field retrofit system includes a fluxing unit, a control cabinet and an exhaust hood. Generally fits into the position of the fluxer unit of virtually any type of soldering equipment; may also be installed at the input end of a soldering machine.
