I will be purchasing an in-line aqueous cleaner in 4q97 and am trying to
come up with a list to compare the systems available & will be using the
cleaner on the SMT line which places fine-pitch (10mil) and BGA's
(micro-BGA's in the future) using OA flux.
Some concerns:
- best way to measure cleanliness? ionics? SIR? or....
- use saponifier, and if so, do we need drag-out section to remove
saponifier?
- hot air blowers only, or with IR heaters?
- stainless steel vs. ?
- etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
