Used BRANSON / IPC PM 21018 #142792 for sale

BRANSON / IPC PM 21018 is an etcher/asher machine designed to efficiently etch and/or asher sensitive or non-sensitive materials in a variety of ways. The machine utilizes a combination of mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic components to accomplish its tasks. The basic elements of this machine are a chassis, chamber, top platen, bottom platen, electromechanical drive, and enclosure. The chassis houses the chamber and provides a secure means of mounting the remaining components. The chamber is designed to maintain the proper temperature and environment for the etching/ashing process. It is filled with an appropriate etching/ashing fluid and is thermally insulated to provide consistent temperatures. The top and bottom platens provide a base for the material to be etched/ashed and host the electrodes and other electrical components. Electromechanical drives are employed to provide the necessary force to cause the desired etching/ashing on the material and power for all the electrical components. An enclosure houses all the electrical and pneumatic components, protecting them from dust and debris. The machine utilizes several pneumatic components to control the operation of the system. An air cylinder directs the armature to move up and down, while solenoid valves control air pressure to the air cylinder. The air pressure to the air cylinder is adjusted with a pressure regulator, which is also used to regulate the output of the armature. A vacuumbottle provides the vacuum to hold the material in position while being etched/ashed. The machine is capable of etching/ashing a variety of materials including metals, semiconductors, glass, epoxy, polyimide, polypropylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene. It utilizes a wide range of electronic parameters such as field strength, process time, and temperature to determine the most suitable setting for each material. IPC PM 21018 is a reliable and efficient etcher/asher that allows for accurate, detailed etching/ashing results. Its modular design facilitates easy maintenance and provides a flexible system for setting up custom etching/ashing applications. The machine is easy to operate and its automated features make it convenient for the user.
