Vertical process control

The vertical flow principle in combination with the rotary spray system results in a very uniform development and etching rate over the entire working area. The transport speed, temperature control and pump control are individually controlled with the integrated PLC control. The integrated multiple rinsing technology achieves a high rinsing effect with low water consumption. The roller transport system in the treatment chambers enables the processing of different panel thicknesses. The appliance is also characterized by easy filling and emptying of the system, dry-running protection for pumps and heating elements. 

The lock system seals the individual cells from each other. All parts that come into contact with media are made of chemical-resistant plastic or titanium.

Advanced electroplating systems

Process technology

The blank is automatically and evenly transported through the etching, developer & stripper chamber and rinsing units. A sealless magnetically coupled centrifugal pump conveys the temperature-controlled solution to the rotating spray arms. The rotating spray system distributes the solutions evenly on the board. The blanks or substrates are pre-rinsed in the subsequent rinsing units. Final cleaning with fresh water takes place in the second rinsing chamber. The multiple rinsing technology minimizes rinsing water consumption.

Our  Rotary spray systems result in a particularly uniform and intensive treatment of the entire surface. The units are equipped with multiple rinses and are characterized by their clean and compact operation. Thanks to their modular design, the units can be extended with a continuous dryer.

AUTOMATION

PLC-controlled systems

The PLC controls the most important functions of the system depending on the throughput speed.

The circuit board is automatically transported through the etching/developing chamber and the rinsing units. The movement is started by triggering the light barrier at the machine inlet.
The built-in control unit regulates the following functions:

  • Switching the process tank pump on/off
  • Switching the circulation pump on/off
  • Switching the solenoid valve of the fresh water flush on/off.
  • Control of the transport speed

The process time in the etching or developing chamber can be continuously adjusted on the touch panel. The flushing duration can also be changed depending on the maximum speed.
