The compatibility of steel mesh cleaning machine is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Type of steel mesh that can be cleaned
Material: can clean stainless steel, copper alloy and other common materials of steel mesh, like stainless steel steel mesh high strength, corrosion resistance, widely used in all kinds of electronic manufacturing, steel mesh cleaning machine can effectively remove its surface pollutants; The steel mesh of copper alloy material has good electrical conductivity, which is used in the welding of some special electronic components, and the cleaning machine can also clean it well.
Size and thickness: can clean different sizes and thickness of steel mesh, the general standard size of steel mesh cleaning machine can clean 736mm×736mm×40mm ~812mm×812mm×40mm steel mesh, for larger size steel mesh, some cleaning machine can provide customized services.
Mesh type: The compatibility of steel mesh with different mesh shapes and sizes is good, such as common round and square mesh, for 0.1mm diameter BGA holes, 0.3 spacing QFP, 0201chip element holes and other fine mesh steel mesh can also be cleaned, which can meet the cleaning needs of steel mesh with different precision requirements in electronic manufacturing.
Types of contaminants that can be cleaned
Solder paste residue: solder paste is a common pollutant in steel mesh printing. Steel mesh cleaning machine can effectively remove solder paste residue through appropriate cleaning liquid, cleaning method and parameter setting. For example, the ultrasonic cleaning method is used to make use of the cavitation effect generated by high frequency vibration to make the solder paste particles fall off the surface of the steel mesh; Or through high pressure spray cleaning, with a large impact force to wash away the solder paste.
Red glue residue: Red glue is used in some electronic assembly processes, and the steel mesh cleaning machine with the corresponding water-based cleaning agent can clean the red glue residue. Such as the water-based cleaning agent used in some cleaning machines, with the help of surfactants, emulsifiers, penetrants, etc., to achieve the emulsification, penetration, and dispersion of red glue, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning.
Flux residue: flux plays an auxiliary role in the welding process, but the residual flux will affect the reuse of the steel mesh and the printing quality. The steel mesh cleaning machine can remove the flux residue on the steel mesh through the dissolution and washing of the cleaning liquid.
Applicable cleaning fluid type
Water-based cleaning agent: Water-based cleaning agent takes water as the main component, which has the advantages of environmental protection, harmless and high stability, and it is not easy to retain harmful substances on the surface of the steel mesh after cleaning. When the steel mesh cleaning machine uses water-based cleaning agent, it is usually combined with rotary high-pressure liquid spray cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning and other methods, which can effectively remove oil, grease, solder paste, red glue and other pollutants on the steel mesh.
Solvent-based cleaners: For some stubborn contaminants that are difficult to remove with water-based cleaners, solvent-based cleaners can be used. However, the solvent-based cleaning agent has the disadvantages of volatile and large odor, but the steel mesh cleaning machine can avoid solvent volatilization and leakage into the working area through the fully enclosed design, reducing hidden dangers and environmental pollution.
Coordination with different production processes and equipment
Integration with SMT production line: In the SMT production line of electronic manufacturing, the steel mesh cleaning machine can be seamlessly connected with the board machine, solder paste printing machine, patch machine and other equipment, to realize the automatic input and exit of steel mesh and cleaning, and improve the automation degree and production efficiency of the entire production line.
Combination with different cleaning processes: steel mesh cleaning machine can use a single cleaning process, such as ultrasonic cleaning, spray cleaning, can also be combined with a variety of cleaning processes, such as ultrasonic cleaning to remove small particles and stubborn stains, and then spray cleaning to further wash the surface, in order to achieve better cleaning
