Cleaning Systems for a Range of Manufacturing Needs from PBT Works at SMTconnect 2023
April 10, 2023 | PBT WorksEstimated reading time: 1 minute
PBT Works s.r.o., a leading manufacturer of cleaning technology for electronic assemblies and tooling, and its German distributor factronix GmbH will exhibit in two stands (Hall 4A, Stand 110 and Hall 4A, Stand 207) at SMTconnect, scheduled to take place May 9-11, 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany. The team will showcase a range of cleaning systems for different manufacturing needs, including the HyperSWASH PCB cleaning system, HyperCLEAN maintenance cleaning system, MiniSWASH stencil cleaner and Go23 stencil printer.
PBT Works will showcase the flexible HyperSWASH that covers a wide assortment of needs – cleaning the most challenging assemblies with the largest BGAs and QFNs. The cleaner features an automated pushcart docking system, pushcart transloader for loading/unloading and customized MES connectivity.
Also on display, HyperCLEAN is a high-capacity flexible maintenance cleaning system that is compatible with all of the latest automation. Ideal for high throughput, handling of numerous or heavy objects is now easier using the included pushcart. HyperCLEAN is ideal for high-volume cleaning of large size solder pallets, SMT oven filters and other mechanical parts.
The MiniSWASH stencil cleaner is a budget-friendly system designed for small and medium manufacturers. The cleaner can handle stencil, squeegee, and misprinted PCB cleaning all in one system. The ideal solution for smaller capacity automated cleaning, the MiniSWASH’s integrated slide-in stencil clamping system can be easily adjusted for any size SMD stencil.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
