Red-E-Set Green RoHS-compliant support tooling is designed for manufacturers concerned with cross-contamination when support tooling is used in both processes on the same production line. Guarantees that residual leaded solder paste on the support tooling will not be re-deposited on a Pb-free board. Screen printers and automated placement machines often face this dilemma.
“With the new lead-free requirements, manufacturers are faced with the challenge of running both the leaded and lead-free processes at the same time to remain competitive and productive,” said Tom Gordon, chief engineer. “Red-E-Set Green allows operators to continuously monitor for cross-contamination by separating materials and using the color green to differentiate between the lead-free and leaded product runs. This color identification enables line and floor operators to easily discern what products and materials they can safely use in the lead-free process.”
