Concentration Monitoring – From Manual to Automatic: A Collaborative Discussion with Sr. Application Engineer, Naveen Ravindran
May 11, 2023, 2:00 PM EST
Maintaining your wash bath target concentration is essential to ensure that the highest cleanliness levels are achieved for critical electronics in high-reliability applications. Join ZESTRON Academy for a review of manual and automated concentration monitoring methodologies, the benefits and limitations of each, and the importance of consistent concentration management in your process.
Are you consistently monitoring wash bath concentration? Looking for a more efficient process but unsure of options? Join us for the 30-minute collaborative discussion following the short technical presentation.
DI-Water Cleaning: The Good, The Bad and The Better – A Collaborative Discussion with Sr. Application Engineer, Jigar Patel
June 8, 2023, 2:00 PM EST
Join ZESTRON Academy for an informative and collaborative discussion on cleaning agent technologies and process alternatives to DI-water. Increased assembly density, reduced component sizes, low standoff heights, and a large variety of component packages limit the effectiveness of cleaning with DI-water. This webinar will review case studies and discuss key performance indicators, including cleanliness, material compatibility, power requirements, and DI-water usage.
Is your DI-water process meeting your cleaning requirements? Need tips to improve the cleaning process’s effectiveness and efficiency? Join us for the 30-minute collaborative discussion following the short technical presentation.
