Rota-Spray’ and 'Rota-Spray Plus'
Rota-Spray 'Plus'
Rota-Spray 'Plus' with Optional
Base Unit
A Spray Processor with many advanced features making an ideal upgrade to a Bubble Etch Tank. The Rota-Spray is a Spray Processor with an in-built Spray Wash Tank and is normally used for Etch / Spray Wash. The 'Rota-Spray Plus' features an additional static unheated Developing Tank enabling the unit to be used as an Develop / Spray Wash / Spray Etch combination. Both units feature:
- Digital temperature control - Set & control temperatures accurately.
- Transparent case design - Panels can be examined after processing without removing.
- Integral Spray Wash Tank - Washes the entire board holder to keep whole etching process clean. Fitted with adjustable spray bars.
- Etches PCBs in less than 90 seconds! - 3-4 times faster than a Bubble Etch Tank.
- Static Developing Tank, unheated with bottom drain - 'Rota-Spray Plus' only
- Bottom drain with secure fastening - No syphoning necessary.
- Splash hopper included - Helps to contain chemistry to aid clean processing.
- Safety cut-out on lid - Motor cuts off if lid is raised during etching.
- Optional Base Unit available - Places the top of the unit at an efficient working height of 110cm
- New Board Holder - Takes multiple small boards. Low profile design means less etchant or developer collects on board holder keeping processing cleaner.
- Digital timer controls processing time - As the board is not immersed in liquid, there is no over-processing after completion. This makes over-etching very difficult.
- 10" x 12" (254 x 305 mm) Board capacity
- Dimensions : 'Rota-Spray' H 650, W 475, D 500 mm 'Rota-Spray Plus' H 650, W 540, D 500 mm
- Optional Base Unit Height : 450mm

Jet 34d - Rotary Etching Machine
The
Jet 34d is a low cost rotary etching machine ideally suited to the manfacture
of prototype and small batch quantities of PCBs. As well as etching the unit
can also be used for spray developing and spray resist stripping. The machine
is of a sturdy PVC construction and is mounted on a stand which places the machine
at a convenient working height. Etching solution is contained in a tank at the
base of the machine. It is heated by a powerful quartz heater which assures
a short warm up time and constant temperature which is controlled electronically.
Boards up to 300 x 500mm can be etched although several smaller boards can be
placed in the special board carrier, the handle of which protrudes out of the
machine eliminating operator contact with the etchant. The machine etches one
side at a time and so for double sided PCBs the board holder is rotated 180º
before the second etching cycle. In front of the etching chamber is a built
in overflow wash tank for the rinsing of the etched boards. The triangular form
of the body of the machine makes it ideal to place in a corner of a room. The
efficiency of this spray etcher has been proven by line resolution of better
than 0.1mm and etching speed of only 90 seconds with fresh ferric chloride.

FAPC 3000 Process Conveyor
   The new 300mm double sided Conveyorised Processing Module is designed to work with the latest developing, etching and stripping chemistry for the manufacture of Printed Circuits, Metal Signs and Metal ‘chemical milled’ Components. The machine is manufactured in our factory in Cambridge using the very latest CNC fabrication and plastic welding techniques. We have been selling conveyor units for over 20 years and that experience has been used to design and manufacture a machine with many unique features to provide a fast, efficient and accurate spray conveyor that is easy to install, maintain and use. The unit will accommodate panels 300mm wide through the process chamber before passing through a void chamber and water rinse section to completely clean the processed panel. A catch tray is included and the stand is an optional extra. |
