Trident - PCB cleaning system
Trident is a fully automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system designed to remove all flux and solder paste residues from post reflowed circuit assemblies.
Trident is capable of removing all flux types including Rosin, Water Soluble, and all No-Cleans.
Trident is uniquely capable of removing all eutectic and lead-free residues either separately or mixed in the same batch.
Trident is equipped with the multiple award winning Focus-Wash cleaning technology.
Focus-Wash directs more fluid flow to a concentrated area, resulting in greater impingement, even on densely populated, low standoff SMT assemblies. Trident’s exclusive oscallating board rack and counter-rotating spray arms reduce shadowing by ensuring complete spray coverage.
Cleanliness tester automatically controls the cleaning process, ensuring a cleanliness level that equals or exceeds your programmed setting. In many cases, Trident’s predictive cleanliness capability eliminates the need for off-line post defluxing cleanliness testing.
Trident is controlled by a powerful industrial computer running the exceptionally stable Windows CE platform. A large graphic touch-screen provides an intuitive operator interface. Operators may select program recipes from a drop-down list. Authorized supervisors and administrators with password privileges have additional access to the recipe editor and administrative functions. An on-board statistical process control (SPC) data logger automatically records vital process information such as cleanliness levels. SPC data may be viewed locally on the display screen, exported onto a USB device, or viewed remotely on any network-connected PC.
Trident is equipped with a host of standard features such as stainless steel plumbing, pre-drain filtration system, stainless steel adjustable board rack, and much more.
Trident Automatic Defluxing and Cleanliness Testing System is available in five configurations:
Trident I (low discharge)
Trident II (low discharge)
Trident II (zero discharge)
Trident III (low discharge)
Trident III (zero discharge)
Trident I: Trident I is capable of removing all flux residues including Rosin, No-Clean, and Water Soluble. Both lead and lead-free flux residues may be removed using Trident I. Trident I is equipped with an automatic chemical injection system that automatically adds a programmable volume of defluxing chemical to the wash water. Wash solution is heated automatically and sprayed onto the assemblies. At the end of the wash cycle, the wash solution is directed through a stainless steel filter housing and drained from the machine. Rinse water is then sprayed onto the assemblies until the desired cleanliness level is achieved. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system then sent to drain. Assemblies are dried via the on-board convection and radiant forced air drying system.
Trident II: Trident II is capable of removing all flux residues including Rosin, No-Clean, and Water Soluble. Both lead and lead-free flux residues may be removed using Trident II. Trident II is equipped with a closed-loop wash solution recycling system. Wash solution is heated automatically and sprayed on the assemblies. At the end of the wash cycle, the wash solution is directed back to the wash solution holding tank for subsequent reuse. Rinse water is then sprayed onto the assemblies until the desired cleanliness level is achieved. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system then sent to drain. Assemblies are dried via the on-board convection and radiant forced air drying system. An optional Zero-Discharge evaporation system eliminates connection to a drain line.
Trident III: Trident III is capable of removing all flux residues including Rosin, No-Clean, and Water Soluble. Both lead and lead-free flux residues may be removed using Trident III. Trident III is equipped with an automatic chemical injection system that automatically adds a programmable volume of defluxing chemical to the wash water. Trident III is equipped with a closed-loop wash solution recycling system. Wash solution is heated automatically and sprayed onto the assemblies. At the end of the wash cycle, the wash solution is directed back to the wash solution holding tank for subsequent reuse. Rinse water is then sprayed onto the assemblies until the desired cleanliness level is achieved. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system then sent to drain. Assemblies are dried via the on-board convection and radiant forced air drying system. Trident III is equipped with a host of standard features including programmable maintenance reminders, remote SPC viewing, SPC data USB export, and an built-in chemical management system. An optional Zero-Discharge evaporation system eliminates connection to a drain line.
