Ultrasonic Stencil Cleaning Systems


Ultrasonic Stencil Cleaning Systems

Ultrasonic technology utilizes precisely controlled sound waves to remove un-reflowed solder paste and uncured adhesives from stencils, screens, and misprints.  Unlike other technologies that can damage delicate stencils, ultrasonic energy is gentle enough not to damage delicate parts, but is highly effective in the removal of even dried pastes on fine-pitch stencils. 

Aqueous Technologies offers a selection of semi-automatic and fully-automatic models to choose from.   

Aqueous Technologies’ semi-automatic ultrasonic stencil cleaning systems are all designed to accommodate stencils, screens, or misprinted assemblies up to 29” x 29” (736mm x 736mm).  All models feature stainless steel wash and rinse tanks and a stainless steel deck.   

Multiple side-mounted 40 kHz transducers target effective cleaning power onto the stencil or misprint.  Transducers include a ten year limited warranty against debonding.   

All models feature a programmable wash cycle timer for consistent operation.  In addition to washing functions, all semi-automatic models feature a hand-held rinse wand and a hand-held airknife for fast and effective drying.   

Aqueous Technologies offers five models to choose from.

StencilWasher-LD

StencilWasher-LD is capable of removing all non-reflowed solder-pastes and uncured adhesives and is equipped with a wash-solution filtration and recirculation system.  Wash solution is filtered and reused eliminating discharge to drain while maximizing the wash solution’s life.  Rinse water is filtered and discharged to drain.  

Operation:
Semi-Automatic
Applications:
Non-reflowed solder paste removal
Uncured adhesive removal
29" x 29"
(736mm x 736mm) stencil capacity
29" (736 cm) immersion depth

StencilWasher-ZD

StencilWasher-ZD is capable of removing all non-reflowed solder-pastes and uncured adhesives and includes all of the features as the LD Series.  An evaporator is included, allowing rinse water and spent wash solution to be evaporated, eliminating the need for a drain.

Operation:
Semi-Automatic
Applications:
Non-reflowed solder paste removal
Uncured adhesive removal
29" x 29"
(736mm x 736mm) stencil capacity

StencilWasher-CLR

StencilWasher-CLR is capable of removing all non-reflowed solder-pastes and uncured adhesives and is equipped with a wash-solution filtration and recirculation system.  Wash solution is filtered and reused eliminating discharge to drain while maximizing the wash solution’s life.  Rinse water is filtered, re-deionized, and reused via the built-in closed-loop rinse water recycler.  

Operation:
Semi-Automatic
Applications:
Non-reflowed solder paste removal
Uncured adhesive removal

SonicOne G3

 

View Demonstration

SonicOne G3 is the flagship of Aqueous Technologies’ stencil cleaning lineup.  SonicOne G3 features ultrasonic technology, the technology of choice for safe and effective solder paste and adhesive removal.  Completely automatic, SonicOne G3 can be configured to provide wash, rinse, and dry functions at the touch of a button.  It’s built-in CPU control system allows easy programming and access to multiple recipes.  SonicOne G3 is among the most ergonomically designed stencil cleaners available today.  The stencil transport shuttle travels to an operator-friendly (ergonomically correct) low-height position for easy loading and unloading.  The shuttle then transports the stencils to the wash, rinse, and dry sections of the machine without operator interaction.  High lifting and low bending are eliminated, ensuring a safe operator experience.

SonicOne G3 is equipped with the industry's first self-cleaning wash and rinse tanks.  A unique (patent pending) self-cleaning tank design automatically removes solder paste and places it into a self-contained (no contact) filter.  Maintenance personnel change the filters by simply unplugging a quick-disconnect filter and plugging in a new one.  There is no contact with fluid or solder paste.

SonicOne G3 is also equipped with a self-clamping mechanism allowing an operator to simply insert a stencil into the carriage and press the start button.  The carriage automatically clamps the stencil frame into place and automatically releases it at the end of the cycle.

Adding chemicals to SonicOne G3 is easy.  Simply open the chemical filler spout cap and pour in the desired volume of chemical.  Alternatively, SonicOne G3 is available with an optional Chemical Management System, allowing one-button chemical dosing and mixing.

SonicOne G3 is equipped with a wash solution heating system for compatibility with a variety of chemical additives and applications. 

Unlike other stencil cleaning systems, SonicOne is equipped with so many standard features; there are almost no additional options available.  SonicOne is standard-equipped with the following features:

  • Wash Solution Heating System
  • Self-Cleaning Wash Tank
  • Computer Controller
  • 29" x 29" (736 mm x 736 mm) Stencil Capacity
  • Self-Clamping / Self-Releasing Stencil Carrier

Optional Features Include:

  • Spray-In-Air Rinse Capability with Rinse-Water Filtration System
  • Built-In Airknife Drying System (compressed air connection required)

Low Operational Costs

SonicOne is equipped with an internal wash-solution recycler.  Wash solution is automatically filtered and reused providing maximum chemical life and low chemical costs. 

 

Ultrasonic Power, Ultrasonic Safety

SonicOne harnesses the cleaning power of ultrasonic energy.  Ultrasonics produces powerful, yet non-destructive energy, which is directed toward a cleaning target.  Ultrasonic energy is gentle enough not to damage delicate parts, but is highly effective in the removal of even dried pastes on fine-pitch stencils.  SonicOne features powerful yet safe 40 kHz ultrasonic generators and transducers.

Control Systems
SonicOne is completely controlled via and built-in computer controller.  All wash, rinse and dry functions are fully programmable and recallable.  Multiple user-defined program memories allow for instant storage and recall of process parameters.

Warranty
SonicOne is equipped with one of the best warranties in the business.  Transducers:  Ten-year warranty against de-bonding 
Generator:  Two year warranty against failure. 
The balance of the machine is warranty for one year. 

Operation:
Fully-Automatic
Applications:
Non-reflowed solder paste removal from stencils, screens, misprints, and parts
Uncured adhesive removal
29" x 29"
(736mm x 736mm) stencil capacity
