In the electronics manufacturing industry, compressed air helps keep electronics clean and free of dust and debris that might otherwise cause problems with the devices. Compressed air also helps prevent damage from moisture or corrosion to the pieces being manufactured. Air compressors are widely used in the electronics industry to provide the pressure required to keep the electronics safe, clean, and functional. Air compressors provide the pressurized air needed to clean and etch circuit boards and other electronic devices and power tools, and robotic arms used during assembly lines.
USES OF COMPRESSED AIR IN THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY
Air compressors are an integral part of the manufacturing process of electronic products. Electronic manufacturing requires clean, dry compressed air to manufacture contaminant- free high-quality products. Oil-free air compressors are used for the cleaning, trimming, molding, and assembly processes that involve delicate electronics boards and parts. Robotic machines used for picking and placing components are powered with air compressors to operate. Air-compressor-powered pick-and-place equipment is preferred over electric or hydraulic powered systems in many applications. They are lightweight, robust, less hazardous, easy to maintain, and work in extreme temperatures. Air compressors are also used for desoldering and testing equipment during PCB production. Compressed air is used to clean parts, test PCBs, maintain a certain quality standard throughout production, and do many other tasks to keep production on schedule. Air compressors, along with appropriate air dryers, also prevent equipment damage from moisture rust, dust, dirt, and other contaminants. A critical function of an electronic cleaning press or booth is degreasing with compressed air. By removing grease and other impurities from printed circuit boards (PCBs), LCDs, and other electronics components at various stages of production, there will be less chance of errors occurring during the final assembly of components onto boards or complete units.
