The spray system of circuit board equipment is mainly used for liquid treatment of circuit board cleaning, etching, deposition and other processes. These systems can evenly spray a chemical solution or cleaning solution onto the board surface to achieve uniform processing, remove impurities, or create the desired chemical effect. The principle of the spray system is: the treatment liquid in the liquid storage tank is transported to the nozzle through the pump, and the nozzle evenly sprits the liquid to the surface of the circuit board at a certain pressure and Angle. The excess liquid is collected at the bottom of the chamber and then returned to the liquid storage tank for recycling. The spray parameters of the liquid are adjusted by the control system to ensure the same treatment effect.
The nozzle is the core component of the spray system, which is used to control the Angle, flow and pressure of the liquid injection. Common types include sector nozzles, conical nozzles, and porous nozzles.
Includes pumps, filters and pipes for extracting chemical or cleaning fluids from the reservoir and circulating them to the nozzle.
Used to store the treatment liquid of the spray system, heating or stirring function can be added as required to maintain the uniformity of the liquid and process temperature.
Modern spray systems are often equipped with programmable logic controllers (PLCS) to adjust spray pressure, flow and time to meet different process requirements.
The circuit board is fixed or transmitted through the spray chamber during the spray process, and the chamber is usually designed with liquid collection and reflux functions to avoid waste.
Nozzle flow rate: flow rate at different pressures (usually in liters per minute or gallons per minute).
Spray Angle: The spray Angle of the nozzle determines the spray coverage range, and the common angles are 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, etc.
