Used BRANSON / IPC SIGMA 80 #77368 for sale

BRANSON / IPC SIGMA 80 is an etcher/asher used for the deposition of thin metal and metal alloy films onto circuit board substrates. The etcher is designed to function in the horizontal plane and can accommodate up to eight different substrates at once. IPC SIGMA 80 features a precision heated platen, which provides uniform etching temperatures, with a temperature range of 70-150°C and a maximum temperature of 240°C. BRANSON SIGMA 80 has two separate etching/application heads, each with two nozzles that can deposit a variety of metals and metallics including gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and aluminum oxide. Each head can also work individually, allowing for independent etching or complex multi-layer deposition. The operator has the choice of either contact etching, where the nozzle is pressed into the substrate for uniform deposition, or free etching, where the nozzle is held a set distance off the surface of the substrate allowing for more variability in the amount of metal applied. SIGMA 80 includes a number of safety features to protect the operator, such as shielding gas, exhaust, and safety interlocks. The etcher also has automatic filter systems that remove dust and debris particles from the etching environment, and the nozzles are designed to be replaced in the event of clogging or breakage. BRANSON / IPC SIGMA 80 comes with a fully pre-configured software interface, allowing for quick and easy programming of etching parameters. In addition to its etching capabilities, IPC SIGMA 80 also functions as an asher, allowing for the removal of photoresists, sinters and other unwanted organic residues from substrates. The asher is equipped with a heated dielectric bath, allowing for uniform removal of photoresists and sinters from the surface of the substrate. BRANSON SIGMA 80 also includes a quartz etch chamber that can be used for de-burring and de-smoothing of sharp edges on the substrate surface. Overall, SIGMA 80 is an advanced etcher/asher designed for the reliable deposition and etching of substrates in a variety of settings. Its fully automated features, safety features, and comprehensive software interface make it an ideal choice for those in need of reliable, high-quality etch and ashing capabilities.
