HIGH END DEVELOP:
The HIGH END for DEVELOP equipment adds additional and/or optional features to the conveyorized spraying processing lines.
The HIGH END features include items such as:
Ø Chemical monitoring, (pH, Conductivity, SG, etc.)
Ø Dosing of fresh chemistry into Chemical Stations
Ø Spray pressure monitoring using digital pressure gauges
Ø Variable frequency pump control for automatic spray pressure control
Ø PLC controls that include ethernet connectivity for recipe driven operation and data archiving
Ø REEL to REEL processing
Ø Custom Engineering as per customer request

General Overview of PCM Equipment - Wet Processing
Presented by: Mike Soble, Technical Sales Manager, Chemcut Corporation, US
BASIC ETCH:
The ETCHING PROCESS is cutting metal from unprotected surfaces through the use of chemical agents, (typically strong acids). Etching is the most demanding of the wet processes in terms of accuracy of dwell time and predictability of the ETCH bath. Although it is possible to ETCH in a “bucket”, it is not a practical manufacturing approach.
Much like Developing, Chemcut approaches the need for BASIC, MEDIUM, and HIGH END equipment requirements with 3 product offerings.
ØBASIC = Model 2300, MEDIUM = Chemcut Xli, HIGH END = CC-8000 It is not practical to ETCH in a bucket or tray!
