Dry Fog Humidification for the assembly process
Process
Issues in the assembly process, SMT Manufacturing
- Humidity level influenced by outside air conditions
- Increased error rate due to a low humidity level, especially during winter
- ESD causing product damages: soldering defect, circuit damage, bad mount
- Dust adhesion
Solution: Dry Fog Humidification system against ESD
By analyzing the existing condition of the facility (e.g. room size, air refreshment ratio, SMT line layout, local climate, etc.), we offer the suitable installation to prevent ESD issues and reduce the defect rate. By adding humidity, it helps to reduce the mounting defect, prevent dust adhesion, and save on existing air conditioning cost.
