Automated Plasma Machine for Surface Preparation Applications from Surfx at SMTAI

Surfx Technologies, LLC, the most trusted name in atmospheric plasma, will exhibit at SMTA International, scheduled to take place Nov 2-3, 2022 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minnesota. The company will highlight the STA-10iL Automated Plasma Machine designed for high-volume manufacturing in Booth #1013. 

Whether for gluing, soldering, printing or coating, in-line plasma cleaning will increase yield on the factory floor and reduce defects in the field for years to come. Cleaning and activating the material surfaces prior to bonding is key to achieving defect-free manufacturing. Surfx’s automated, in-line plasma systems are designed for this application. 

Surfx’s STA-10iL Automated Plasma Machine can be easily configured for any job with a working volume of 550 x 760 x 60 mm. The system offers a slim footprint, fast lead times and flexible configurations, leaving no excuse to skip plasma surface preparation for critical processes.

Inside the STA-10iL, a three-axis gantry selectively applies the most advanced atmospheric plasma to substrates. Surfx’s Atomflo™ controller operates with low voltage, radio frequency (RF) power, and generates a uniform, particle free and electrically neutral plasma that is safe on the most sensitive electronics. Surfx Technologies’ versatile conveyor design allows for rapid surface preparation of electronics, including all types of IC packages. 

Surfx argon plasma systems clean and activate a wide variety of material surfaces, including glass, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors and metals. Save money and improve quality with turnkey systems configured for your application. For more information, visit www.surfxtechnologies.com.
