Thermode Maintenance

THERMODE MAINTENANCE

  • Routinely remove flux and polyimide residue from thermode using Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol.
  • Resurface thermode face with 600 grit silicon carbide paper on flat surface at low force or grinding wheel if sufficient material is present.
  • Improper maintenance in cleaning and resurfacing can result in damaged thermovouples and unlevel thermode faces.
  • Use interlayer to reduce contamination of the thermode.
  • Automatic Kapton feeder can auto-advance between bonds.
  • Permacel P-440 Tape can be applied to thermode face and routinely changed.

About Us

Advanced Integrated Technologies is essentially a manufacturing service company with two major divisions. The resistance welding and reflow soldering tool division grew out of our early work building micro tools for Hughes Aircraft. About the time that Microsoft was turning computers into a household item, computer hardware manufacturers were looking for companies to build reflow tools used in the assembly of hard drives and other components.
