ZESTRON's EYE CM is an automatic module for controlling the concentration of the cleaning bath. Its measuring system displays precise, real-time concentration measurement by simultaneously measuring three parameters, even with a loaded cleaning bath. Optical methods such as the refractive index cannot provide such reliable performances.

Both Management and Production personnel from the electronics and electrical engineering industry can update their skills, easily and directly, right from their desk during the second half of the year with webinars from the ZESTRON Academy.

  Automatically monitoring and controlling wash bath concentration in real time, the ZESTRON EYE CM (Concentration Management) is a stand-alone concentration management system. It achieves this by automatically dosing both cleaning agent and DI-water as required.

The water-based cleaning medium VIGON RC 303 from Zestron, has been specifically developed for manual removal of persistent residues in reflow ovens and wave solder machines. It reliably removes condensed fluxes and emissions from assemblies of oven devices, solder frames and condensation traps.

Zestron will present a webinar on surface quality requirements on 19th May 2015 at 10am, open to all.  In this 45 minute webinar, the participants will learn what requirements the surface quality of the assembly needs to meet in order to maximise bond adhesion and minimise standard deviation.

Continuous monitoring and control of cleaning processes is essential in order to prevent white residue and ionic contamination, optimise the bond adhesion as well as climate and coating reliability. Zestron are holding a monitoring and controlling cleaning processes webinar on the 21st of April.

Staff from the electronics and electrical engineering industry can gain further training this year using the ZESTRON Academy webinars. ZESTRON Academy continues to educate production line operators, manufacturing, quality managers and process engineers by providing detailed industry knowledge and troubleshooting techniques through our webinar series, accessible from virtually any computer.

Zestron will take the opportunity of the NEPCON Japan show 2015 to highlight its water-based Micro Phase Cleaning (MPC) technology for assemblies, power modules and stencils. This water-based cleaning technology combines the advantages of conventional cleaning with solvents and surfactants.

Scheduled for 12th November at 10.00am (CET), ZESTRON has announced a 45 minute webinar, titled 'Cleaning for Decoating'. Participants will learn the requirements for inspection and repair processes of PCBs, as well as best practices for cleaning when decoating to achieve solderable and recoatable surfaces.

We are proud to reinforce our position as an innovative leader in electronics cleaning with the launch of the first automated and most notably precise concentration measurement system for engineered cleaning agents”, stated Ralph Hoeckle, Managing Director of ZESTRON Europe.

ZESTRON will be exhibiting at PCIM (Hall 7, Booth # 236) this year. The main focus is cleaning of Power Modules. For energy-efficiency reasons, modules produced today have ever increasing performance requirements with greater packaging density.

Jerry Ji, experienced Process Engineer at ZESTRON will present the findings of the study “Is Cleaning Critical to PoP Assemblies?” at the SMTA China East Conference held at Shanghai world Expo convention and exhibition center on April 23th, 2013.

ZESTRON has introduced the new water-based VIGON PM series, which was specifically developed for the defluxing of Power Modules and other descrete devises after die attach.

As global leader in cleaning solutions and services for the electronic industry ZESTRON has always provided comprehensive technical support to customers everywhere to find the best cleaning process for their requirements.

The use of concentrated cleaning agent is a cost-effective solution. However, due to drag-out or dilution the concentration of the cleaning agent may change over time. Thus, continuous monitoring by the operator is necessary. The newly developed ZESTRON Bath Analyzer is an easy to use monitoring kit, which can be applied in a few steps only and no specific operator training is necessary.
