Services
Stencil Printing Equipment
Our MPM stencil printers deliver sub-micron precision for surface mount technology applications. Using advanced vision systems and servo-driven mechanics, these printers ensure consistent solder paste deposition for high-density PCB assemblies. The Momentum II series offers automated changeover technology that reduces setup times by 40% while maintaining 25m print accuracy.
Wave Soldering Systems
Electrovert's wave soldering solutions combine DwellFlex technology with nitrogen inerting for zero-defect soldering. The VectraElite system achieves 0.1% defect rates through intelligent flux control and programmable wave profiles, supporting lead-free and conventional soldering processes for through-hole components.
Precision Cleaning Systems
Aquastorm in-line cleaners use multi-stage spray technology to remove flux residues with 99.9% efficiency. The stainless steel construction and modular design accommodate aqueous and semi-aqueous chemistries, meeting IPC-J-STD-001 cleanliness standards for mission-critical electronics.
Fluid Dispensing Systems
Camalot Prodigy dispensers achieve 25m accuracy for underfill and conductive adhesive applications. The dual-lane configuration doubles throughput while maintaining 1% volumetric repeatability, supporting both needle and jetting technologies for high-speed fluid deposition.
Thermal Processing Ovens
Despatch thermal systems provide 1C temperature uniformity for curing and drying processes. The benchtop and conveyor oven models feature programmable profiles for solder paste curing, conformal coating drying, and component baking applications in electronics manufacturing.
