Latest Contact Cleanng Technology Makes An Impact At Productronica

He added: “Laser marking of boards creates carbon dust which needs to be removed. All of these factors independently and combined have created substantial demand for our SMT clean machines which have become an integral part of the electronics production line. Several significant orders were taken at the show for these machines.”

“It is generally accepted that 70% of end of line defects can be traced back to printing. It is therefore crucial that a major variable such as contamination is controlled. The best way to control it is through removal and the Teknek Cleaning Core is the highest performing method for doing this. Boards being produced for mission critical applications such as automotive, medical and aerospace need to be 100% perfect. Manufacturers are realising that their existing non-contact cleaning equipment is inadequate for these increasingly demanding products.” said Nicolson.

Making its debut at the show was Teknek’s new patent pending* EcoFilm product. EcoFilm product is the first Oxydegradable clean machine adhesive roll to be available on the market. It retains all the benefits of the Teknek Nanocleen+ adhesive roll (silicone free, static dissipation, extra wide format, slant cut) plus the added advantage of being “green”. “The product was well received at Productronica. All manufacturers are under pressure to meet stringent environmental legislation. The new product means that the adhesive film can be disposed of easily and safely with normal waste.”
