Electronic components are manufactured using sensitive, high-tech equipment. This is a huge capital investment for any operator and such equipment needs to be protected from damage at all times.
Such equipment uses large quantities of compressed air, e.g. for the pneumatic transfer of components or for the control of valves. The compressed air needs to be oil-free and free from impurities. Oil contamination of compressed air can lead to significant maintenance costs and, in severe cases, to complete shutdowns.
In the electronics industry, compressed air is commonly used for:
Printed circuit board cleaning
Use air to blow circuit boards clean after production
Pick-and-place machines
Pneumatic equipment driven by air to transfer components
Central vacuum for cleaning system on assembly lines
Central vacuum generated by positive displacement blowers are used to clean work places on industrial assembly lines (dust extraction and shaving removal).
Drying of electronic components
Electronic components such as printed circuit boards are dried and cleaned using our technologies.
Pick and place
Boards are assembled with electronic components, e.g. transistors, drags etc. Catch, place and drop off is done by vacuum supported pipettes.
