SMT USC400 Stencil Cleaning System upgrade

News, The Latest

The popular and long established SMT USC400 on contact Ultrasonic Stencil System has been upgraded to a higher Transducer power output to support cleaning of the latest generation of Ultra Fine Pitch Solder Pastes from conventional and Pump Print Stencils. The newer generation of UFP Pastes using Class 4 and 5, now 6 particle sizes are easily trapped within the corners of small stencil apertures, causing blockages, loss of print image resolution, and can be difficult to remove, even in high performance offline Cleaning Systems. The SMT USC400 can be taken to the printer online and used to clear blockages without removing the Stencil from the printer, and thereby avoiding the need to reset the Printer parameters.

The USC400 advanced autotune system means no low frequency harmonic vibration is applied to the Stencil, and maximum Transducer power is always available as the cleaning head is moved over the Stencil surface.

The USC400 is ideally suited to mesh mounted legacy Stencils in conventional frames. It is particularly effective when partnered with Surclean SC100, SC400, and the latest SC3003 Stencil cleaning chemistries.

 

New multi-mode safer solvent

News

Surclean Screenclean 3003 is an advanced safer solvent based chemistry primarily for under Stencil cleaning on automatic Stencil Printers.

It is a recommended replacement for many existing solvent based under Stencil cleaning materials, and due to the lower vapour pressure, can help reduce emissions from in process printer cleaning operations. Screenclean 3003 has a high flashpoint of 86 degrees C. in comparison with I.P.A. at 12 degrees C., and therefore Screenclean 3003 is both safer for the user and safer for storage.

It is classified as non hazardous for all transport modes, and is RoHs and REACH compliant. Screenclean 3003 is made from from materials which readily bio-degrade. It is low odour, low toxicity, and does not contain anything on the EU restricted or SVHC (substances of very high concern) lists. It does not contain any Halogenated solvents or any form of Detergent, or Surfactant. Screenclean 3003 complies fully with current environmental legislation.
