ESD-Safe Conformal Coating Removal Work Cells
By Crystal Mark, Inc

 Represented by GSA Service Company

Crystal Mark Inc is the leading manufacturer of ESD-safe conformal coating removal workstations and systems. For decades, Crystal Mark has specialized in micro abrasive blast systems that will safely and selectively remove conformal coatings from printed circuit boards, without causing mechanical or ESD damage.

  • ESD-Safe, with voltage levels far below requirements set by industry or Government
  • Easily removes epoxy, urethane, silicone & acrylic ...even parylene conformal coatings
  • Chemical free, No PCB/PWB contamination or degradation, environmentally friendly
  • Selectively strip conformal coating off any component, fast

Conformal Coating Removal Work Cell

Crystal Mark introduces the SWAM-Blaster Conformal Coating Removal Work Cell, incorporating the SWAM-BLAST MV-2L Micro Abrasive Blaster, Ionized Ergonomic Work Chamber, Point Ionizer at Nozzle and Dust Collector. The unit features all-in-one design, and is mounted on casters for easy installation, mobility and Work Cell re-configuration and is specifically designed to selectively remove conformal coatings, whether from a pinpoint area to an entire circuit card assembly.

When conformal coated components are sensitive to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), the Point Ionizer effectively reduces ESD from reaching levels that could potentially cause damage to the component during the removal process. The Point Ionizer combines handpiece, abrasive nozzle and ionization source into one, providing a balanced flow of positive and negative ions at the exit point of the nozzle tip. Ionized Ergonomic Work Chamber with Ionizing Bars and Anti-static Iris Ports provides additional ESD protection, and also includes Dual Fluorescent Lamps, Perforated Sheet Metal Interior Work Surface, Tempered Glass Viewing Window and Angled Arm Holes.

There are several types of abrasive powder media available for conformal coating removal including environmentally friendly Carbo Blast™ and Soda Bicarbonate.  Carbo Blast™ is the least aggressive and successfully removes most conformal coatings including Parylenes, Silicones, Urethanes, Epoxies, Acrylics and their blends. Great for circuit card assemblies as it does not cause mechanical damage to the butter coat of the board. Soda Bicarbonate is a more aggressive media, it too is water soluble and can be used to selectively remove solder mask and oxidation.

Crystal Mark offers additional accessories to enhance conformal coating removal capabilities including optional Microscope and Mount, Black Light Bulbs for UV detection, Dust Collectors and Electro Static Discharge Field Meter for periodic ESD metering.
