Wetting process
Ikeuchi provides a number of solutions for the wetting process in PCB
PCB wetting process
We provide a number of spray nozzle solutions for the wetting process in PCB. It is important to choose nozzles of high quality in order to avoid issues such as disparate spray capacity, uneven spray impact for precision cleaning, low washing ability etc.
Highlights
- PCB wetting process
- Prevent disparate spray capacity
- Prevent uneven spray impact
- Higher washing ability
- High wear resistance
Improve the PCB wetting process with spray nozzle technology
Polishing process
The cleaning process before the polishing begins is an important step. The PCB surface needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants such as dust, oils, or residues left over from previous manufacturing steps. For this cleaning process, we offer 3 different types of spray nozzles, all with an outstanding wear resistance due to their ceramic orifices.
Developing process
Once the developing process is complete, the PCB is rinsed thoroughly to remove any residual developing solution and to stop the development reaction. This step is crucial to prevent overdevelopment or underdevelopment of the photoresist. For this rinsing process we offer 3 different types of spray nozzles:
Etching process
During the etching process, the PCB is immersed in an etchant solution, typically containing chemicals such as ferric chloride or ammonium persulfate. This process continues until all unwanted copper has been removed. Once the etching process is complete, the PCB is rinsed.
For this process we offer two types of spray nozzles which have been developed especially for the etching process.
PCB stripping process
The stripping process is the step where the remaining photoresist is removed from the PCB after the etching process. For this process, we offer 4 different types of chemical resistant spray nozzles:
PCB rinsing process
The rinsing process is a crucial step that follows various chemical treatments such as etching, developing, and stripping. Rinsing ensures that any residual chemicals or contaminants are removed from the PCB surface, preventing potential issues such as corrosion, electrical shorts, or contamination of subsequent processes. We offer a number of spray nozzles for precision cleaning:
PCB rinsing process
Airblow in the PCB process is when compressed air is used to remove excess water, chemicals, or contaminants from the surface of the PCB. This process is typically employed after rinsing or cleaning steps to ensure that the PCB surface is thoroughly dried and free from residual moisture or contaminants before proceeding to the next manufacturing or assembly step.
For this step we offer our TAIFUJet® series, which is a line of compressed air nozzles. Their unique and compact design takes the surrounding air and multiplies the airflow, producing a powerful air blow with high spray impact, minimal air consumption and minimal noise levels.
- High chemical resistance
- High precision spraying
- High wear resistance
- Reduced water consumption
