Austin American Technology's X-Series™ Vertical Format Batch Cleaning Systems provide maximum chemistry flexibility to meet a wide variety of applications. Aqueous, saponification, semi-aqueous, alcohols and hybrid solvents can be utilized to remove flux residues, solder pastes, inks, adhesives and other residues from boards, stencils, or tooling used in the production process. Each system incorporates filtration and a selectable open-loop or closed-loop configuration to address environmental and safety concerns.

Consistent cleaning results are ensured with a patented method of rotational spraying that creates zones of constantly changing force to provide superior performance. X-Series™ cleaning systems are fully automated and do not require product transference between wash, rinse and dry cycles. The cleaner's automated, low-profile lift and compact body design facilitate easy load/unload and provide one of the smallest footprints in the industry. And, the X-Series™ is supported by the extensive experiance and knowledge base of Austin American Technology's applications engineering team.

Versatility of Vertical Format Stencil Cleaners
"The stencil cleaner can be one of the most versatile tools on the manufacturing floor. It can be used to clean electronic modules in various stages of the manufacturing process. In fact, an automated stencil cleaner can clean just about anything you come up against in your PCB assembly process.

Detailed in this paper are seven applications that were submitted to our applications lab providing support to the statement that there is very little that cannot be cleaned in a automated, vertical format, stencil cleaner."
