Solder frames and solder masks are essential components of the selective soldering process and play a central role in maintaining strict ‘zero-defect’ manufacturing standards. They protect sensitive components and ensure precise soldering processes.

Regular maintenance cleaning is a decisive factor for stable process quality in electronics production. Various components such as solder frames, solder carriers, condensate traps, filters, coolers, plates, reflow ovens and wave soldering systems must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure process reliability and minimise rejects.

The focus here is on defluxing - the removal of burnt-in flux residues, including colophony-free no-clean fluxes and gas condensates from solder masks, solder frames and carriers. Ideally, this is done with fully automated cleaning systems and environmentally friendly, water-based cleaning agents.

As a manufacturer and system supplier, SYSTRONIC offers an integrated solution for cleaning solder frames, solder carriers and solder masks. The complete process - from machines and accessories to cleaners and customised, software-controlled, fully automatic cleaning processes - comes from a single source.
