Page 29 Smart Sonic Launches VOC-Free SMT Detergent


CLEVELAND, OH — Smart Sonic’s award-winning 440-R- SMT detergent is verified by the U.S. EPA for specific parameters of environmental safety, user safety and cleaning efficiency. It has survived the test of time since its introduction in 1990. It is successful for cleaning any sol- der paste used in SMT assembly. It cleans at ambient to low tem- peratures, which protects sten- cils and conserves energy. It can be used in all aqueous stencil cleaning machines. The 440-R is a mild alkaline


formulation designed to remove RA, RMA, no clean, water wash- able (OA) and lead-free solder pastes from screens, stencils and misprinted PCBs at temperatures between, ambient and 100°F.


Microscopes TARPON SPRINGS, FL — TAGARNO has relaunched its Full HD (FHD) microscope prod- uct line. The refreshed portfolio introduces enhanced imaging performance, updated model names, and a simplified product offering designed to make it eas- ier for customers to select the right microscope for their inspec- tion workflows. Originally launched in 2016,


TAGARNO’s FHD microscopes have become widely used across electronics manufacturing, qual- ity inspection, and other preci- sion industries. With the re- launch, TAGARNO is highlight- ing recent technology improve- ments while modernizing the product lineup to better meet current market needs. As part of the relaunch,


TAGARNO’s microscopes will re- ceive updated names: ZIP be- comes ZIP+, ZAP becomes ZAP+, and TREND becomes TREND+. The company is also streamlin- ing its portfolio by discontinuing the PRESTIGE model. MOVE and FRONT, previously offered as separate solutions, will now be available as configurations of the ZAP+ universe. The updated microscopes


feature the new SONY FCB- EV9520L camera, which incorpo- rates advanced imaging technol- ogy to deliver faster processing, improved image clarity, and


smoother operation. Contact: TAGARNO USA,

440-R-SMT detergent is also very effective in removing wet SMD adhesives from stencils and mis- printed substrates and removing post solder flux residues from pal- lets, oven radiators and other tooling. 440-R-SMT contains no


CFC’s, VOC’s, terpenes, alcohol, or other hazardous ingredients and performs in ultrasonic, spray, or manual cleaning appli- cations. Another advantage of 440-R


is that it is not consumed during the cleaning process. After the initial fill, chemistry make-up is

not required until the wash water is changed —every 1-3 months for


solder paste. This will prevent potential contamination and un- pleasant odors. For other applica- tions, wash water maintenance will depend on volume, contami- nants, and filtration. The company’s ultrasonic


stencil cleaners were designed to work directly with 440-R-SMT de- tergent, which allows Smart Sonic to be a one stop for stencil and pal-


let cleaning requirements. Contact: Smart Sonic Corp.,
