Primary Use Cases

  • PCB / Avionics Rework Ideal for fault isolation and component removal or replacement.
  • Selective Windowing Targets test pads, BGA/QFN edges and conformal mask windowing without board damage.
  • Reverse Engineering & Depot-Level Maintenance Suitable for LRU/SRU teardown and controlled coating removal.
  • Production Floor Applications Repeatable, recipe-driven stripping for high-throughput assemblies.

Key Benefits of Conformal Coating Removal Machine

  • Selective, Non-Destructive Removal Protects solder mask, copper pads and neighbouring components.
  • Process Recipes Save beam power, pressure, passes, angle and dwell settings for consistency.
  • ESD-Safe Work Envelope Grounded fixtures, ionization, antistatic nozzles and mats.
  • Closed-Loop Extraction HEPA + activated carbon filtration keeps benches clean and operator-safe.
  • Full Traceability Run logs, operator IDs, pass/fail snapshots and export-ready reporting.
  • Flexible Chem-Free Options Laser ablation and micro-abrasive modes minimize solvent use.

Indigenization Advantage (Make in India)

  • Local Engineering & Spares Rapid turnaround, reduced lifecycle cost and faster support.
  • Tailored Fixturing Custom jigs/fixtures for common LRUs and SRUs used by Indian platforms.
  • On-Site Training & AMC Nationwide service with calibration and preventative health checks.
  • Compliance-Ready Documentation IQ/OQ/PQ packs, SOPs and maintenance schedules to fit your QMS.

How the System Works

Automated Conformal Coating Removal System: Conveyor or cell-based platform with vision alignment, programmable gantry and recipe-control. Ideal for medium–high throughput PCB assemblies needing operator-independent consistency.

Laser Conformal Coating Removal Machine: Solid-state UV laser (typically 355 nm) with galvo scanning and real-time power monitoring. Excellent for parylene, UV-cured epoxy and hard coats requiring micron-level selectivity.

Hybrid Micro-Abrasive Mode: Conductive nozzles and soft media (e.g., wheat-starch or polymer media) for acrylic, urethane and silicone films—maintains solder mask integrity near delicate components.
