General
The Splash is a laboratory spray etching machine with integrated rinse. The machine is suitable for
single and double-sided copper-clad base material. This equipment is designed with a special focus
on ergonomic, clean and low carryover etching and rinsing.
Areas of application:
•
acid or aqueous-alkaline etching of circuit boards.
•
Developing of positive or negative-working photoresists or laminates (aqueous-alkaline process-
able - add anti foam if necessary).
•
Alkaline resist stripping.
•
In the Splash Center all wet process steps of photo positive pcb production can be processed in
a single machine, without having to carry the dripping board to the next machine. In the spray
chamber the pcb is etched, tank 1 and 2 include a cascade rinsing, tank 3 is used for alkaline
developing and in tank 4 the etched circuit board can be tinned.
