Asymtek Introduces New Axiom™ X-1030 Series Inline Flux Dispensing System
 Carlsbad, CA– May 21, 2007 – Asymtek, a Nordson company and world leader in dispensing and fluid jetting technology, announces the release of its new Axiom X-1030 Series dispensing system, designed for selective jetting of traditional flux, no-clean solder fluxes and other precise coating applications. Available in single or dual lane configurations, the closed-loop X-1030 dispensing system optimizes underfill and package reliability-- improving production throughput and equipment utilization by as much as 60-85% with the X-1032’s dual lane multitasking capabilities. Configured with Asymtek’s DJ-2200 DispenseJet® valve with coaxial air technology, the Axiom X-1030 Series is ideal for jetting ultra-thin flux film builds.
Selective flux jetting provides a high-speed, highly adaptable process for jetting virtually any pattern while maintaining good edge definition (0.5 to 1.5mm) and minimizing the overspray associated with other spraying techniques. The coaxial air technology ensures consistent, ultra-thin flux film builds (as low as 5µm) by following the jetted flux with a pulse of air.
Flux is used during the reflow process to remove oxides from metal surfaces to be soldered, enhance wetting, and protect against re-oxidation. In flip chip assembly, flux is also used to mechanically hold the die to the substrate during the assembly process prior to reflow. Today’s large flip chip in packages with lower bump heights make jetting preferable to stencil printing and dipping, which are difficult to control with high viscosity materials and thinner coating requirements.
The Axiom X-1030 Series dispensing system is configured with Asymtek’s Fluidmove® for Windows® XP (FmXP) software for precise control of the dispensing pattern. The Axiom system interfaces with other equipment upstream and downstream using SMEMA-standard hardware and software protocols.
