Model CCR-CWC-LV1
SWAM-Blaster® Model CCR-CWC-LV1
CRYSTAL MARK, INC. manufactures a micro sandblast system that will safely and selectively remove most types of conformal withouth causing mecanical or ESD damage.
The SWAM-BLAST Model LV-1 Micro Sandblaster was specifically designed to selectively remove conformal coating from pinpoint areas to an entire surface. The LV-1 features independently adjustable powder flow control and air pressure regulations, easy access to the abrasive pathway to maintenance as well as large carbide lined components throughout the abrasive pathway for extended wear life and optimum powder valume.
When conformal coated components are sensitive to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), the Point Ionizer effectively reduces the ESD from reaching levels that could potentially cause damage to the component during the removal process.
There are several types of abrasive powders available for conformal coating removal including Environmentally Friendly Carbo Blast and Soda Bicarbonate. Carbo Blast is the softest and successfully removes most types of conformal coatings including Parylenes, Silicones, Urethanes, Epoxies, Acrylics and their blends. Great for PCBs as it does not cause mechanical damage to the border coat of the board. Soda Bicarbonate is more aggressive than Carbo Blast is another abrasive powder. It is harder than Soda Bicarbonate and can remove many conformal coatings.
