Used BRANSON / IPC A-300 #9149376 for sale

BRANSON / IPC A-300 etcher/asher is a chemical etching system used in the electronics industry for the production of printed circuit boards. It is a popular automated equipment used in many PCB manufacturing lines. IPC A-300 etcher/asher uses a controlled chemical etching process, called electroless or chemical metal deposition (ECD), to etch the printed circuit board design onto a clean substrate. The first stage of the process is the cleaning of the substrate. This is done using a proprietary surfactant-based etchant which removes any residual oxides and organic contaminants which may be present. The next step is then the deposition of the copper onto the cleaned substrate. This is done using an electrolytic plating process where the copper is deposited onto the substrate in a controlled fashion using predetermined voltage and current settings. Following the deposition of the copper onto the substrate, the etching of the board design is then carried out, using either hot or cold chemical etching techniques. The cold etch uses ferric chloride as theetching agent while the hot etch uses an albumen solution and hydrogen peroxide to etch the copper. During the etching process, the board design is etched away into the copper, forming tracks and vias in the substrate. BRANSON A-300 etcher/asher can also offer a semi-automated operation process, where the chemical etching is carried out using a peristaltic pump. This provides a more controlled and reliable etching process. Unlike manual etching, the limit for the precise values of the parameters can be monitored and controlled for a more accurate result. Once the etching process is complete, the board is then flushed twice with a special detergent to remove any remaining residues. The board is then dried using hot air forced convection so that it is ready for the next process. A-300 etcher/asher is a high performance etching system, providing a reliable, automated process with accuracy and efficiency for producing PCBs. It combines chemical etching techniques with precise control systems and robotics for a faster and more accurate PCB manufacturing process.
