How to maintain Auto Insertion and SMT machine — ESD Cleaning and Testing Procedures
Procedures and Adjustments
CAUTION
The following procedures explain how to properly clean and test an ESD surface.
Clean an ESD Surface
Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on polycarbonate. Never scrape polycarbonate with squeegees, razor blades, or other sharp instruments. Benzene, gasoline, acetone, or carbon tetra chloride should never be used on polycarbonate. Do not clean polycarbonate in the hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
- Using a sponge or soft cloth, wash the ESD-protected surface with either a mild detergent or Windex product and lukewarm water.
- After washing, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots.
- To protect the ESD surface after rinsing and drying, recommends applying Kleenmaster Brillianize®. This application helps to maintain the static dissipative coating and reduce the accumulation of dust.
Test Static Dissipative Covers
Periodically and after maintenance, check the machine covers to determine if the dissipative qualities of the cover have changed. The following procedure ensures that static dissipative covers are in fact dissipative.
Tooling
Surface resistance meter (such as 3M 701 Surface Resistance meter and probe).
Comments
The surface resistance should be less than 109 ohms in all areas. If the cover package is no longer dissipative, contact you Universal Instruments Corporation sales representative.
Procedure
- Clean the static dissipative covers using the Clean ESD Surface procedure to ensure the accuracy of the test.
- Using the surface resistance meter, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to measure the surface resistance of both the inside and outside of the covers. Measure the resistance at all four corners and at several areas in the middle of the cover. This test checks the integrity of the ESD coating.
- Connect the ground path resistance probe to the meter and chassis ground.
The path to the ground should not be higher than the surface resistance. If it is, clean the frame connections, repair loose or corroded fasteners and ground straps, and check tracks for dirt and/or corrosion.
4. Measure the ground path from the covers to the chassis ground. Take this measurement from both surfaces and all four corners of each cover.

The Rise in LED.
The Continual Rise in LED Manufacturing
According to Google Trends Ranking, when comparing popular lighting source search trends it is clear that LED is the powerhouse lighting source. The expansive reach and use of LEDs in today’s tech world make it almost unfair to compare it to other lighting sources but we’ve done it anyway.
Below is a graph that displays the overwhelming rise in rank of LEDs since 2004, especially compared to it’s CFL and Incandescent counterparts. Data was collected from Google Search Trends comparison of three lighting sources as a general topic i.e. LED as a general search topic and all related search terms, CFLs as a general search topic with related search terms, and incandescent lighting as a general search topic with related search terms. Click here to see what countries rank highest for the interest in LEDs.

Odd-Form Assembly: Questions to Consider for Transitioning to Automation
Odd-Form isn’t what it used to be
Odd-Form Assembly: Questions to Consider for Transitioning to Automation
For the last 20 years any odd-form components that did not come pre-packaged have been assembled BY HAND. Any PCB Assembly in today’s market can gain quick advantages by automating their assembly line. Huge costs are spent unnecessarily on labor and import fees.
If you are considering automation of odd-form components in your PCBA, consider these questions:
- Does your desired component come available in a package?
-
Is your lead to hole ratio appropriate for automating?
-
Is the quality and repeatability of the component suitable for automation?
-
Does your component require lead preparation prior to insertion?
-
Does your process require that the component is clinched?
Need help with these questions? Let us know and we will help design your Odd-Form Assembly tailored to your needs!
