Air Compressors for the Electronics Industry

USES OF COMPRESSED AIR IN THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY

Compressed air plays a crucial role in the electronics industry, facilitating various manufacturing processes and ensuring the production of high-quality electronic products.

Cleaning and Trimming Processes

Clean, and dry compressed air is essential for ensuring contaminant-free manufacturing processes, especially during cleaning and trimming procedures. Oil-free air compressors are preferred for tasks like cleaning delicate electronic boards and parts to maintain product quality.

Assembly and Robotics

Air compressors power robotic machines used for picking and placing components in electronic assembly lines. Air-compressor-driven pick-and-place equipment offers advantages such as lightweight construction, robustness, and ease of maintenance compared to electric or hydraulic systems.

Testing and Quality Control

Air compressors play a vital role in desoldering and testing equipment during the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Quality Assurance

Compressed air is utilised to clean parts, test PCBs, and maintain consistent quality standards throughout the production process.

Moisture Control and Equipment Protection

Air compressors, along with suitable air dryers, safeguard equipment from moisture, rust, dust, and other contaminants. Electronic cleaning presses or booths utilise compressed air for degreasing, and removing impurities from PCBs, LCDs, and other electronic components.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are oil-free air compressors preferred in the electronics industry?

Oil-free rotary screw air compressors are preferred in the electronics industry because they eliminate the risk of oil contamination, which is critical for maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of sensitive electronic components. Even tiny traces of oil can cause malfunctions or damage to electronic products, making oil-free compressors essential for producing high-quality electronics.

What are the key considerations when selecting an air compressor for the electronics manufacturing industry?

When selecting an air compressor for electronics manufacturing, key considerations include the compressor’s oil-free operation, air quality standards (such as ISO 8573), required flow rate and pressure, energy efficiency, and noise level.
