Screen printed solder pastes tend to compact and trap particles into aperture corners and Lead-Free solder pastes, that are less dense, tend to demonstrate this tendency even more.

To clean effectively requires both cleaning chemistry and mechanical agitation. Direct Ultrasonic Contact cleaning is the ultimate way to clean SMT stencils. Employing a 40kHz ultrasonic generator, the single transducer head cleans with great efficiency even in tougher applications such as partially set glues.

• Safe and simple to use
• A typical 3-minute cleaning cycle
• No risk of stencil damage
• Suitable for stainless steel and plastic stencils
• No risk of stencil damage
• Cleans solder paste or SMD Adhesives
• Accepts both foils or framed stencils

Historically, International Standard IPC-J-STD001 stated that assemblies be cleaned to a value of <1.5µg/cm2 of NaCl equivalence. However, the new design is linked to the introduction of the new process control metric introduced by Gen3 Systems: Process Ionic Contamination Testing (PICT). The CM+ Series measures the amount of ionic contamination in accordance with all existing test methods, often referred to as ROSE testing, as well as the new PICT test.

The CM+ series from Gen3 Systems come in 5 different models and 5 different tank sizes – when selecting a Test System, it is important to use the smallest possible tank size for the circuit under test.

All of the range utilizes a solid gold test-cell, ballistic amplifiers, and vigorous pumping systems to ensure superior measurement precision, even at very low conductivity values. PC based software is used to produce graphical test data, a pass/fail analysis and automatic hard copy print out using test methods according to the prevailing standards.

In a collaborative research study with Robert Bosch, the CM+ range has been proven to meet 6 Sigma criteria, using a verification procedure at different production sites worldwide. Used as a process tool, the CM+ Systems can be used for the optimisation of manufacturing techniques and materials, and manufacturing control across different production sites globally, with a high level of certainty.

The new CM+ range includes the following
