Discharge Options:

Trident is available in three discharge configurations. Completely Zero Discharge solutions are available through use of the Eco-Cycler (included with Trident ZDO package). The Eco-Cycler captures re-dionizes and re-distributes rinse water for the Trident de-fluxing systems and alleviates the need for a drain. Trident LDO includes a closed loop wash solution and an open loop rinse section. In this system, wash solution is reused while fresh DI rinse water is sprayed and drained. The Trident ECO allows for single dose washing and sends all solution to drain.

Throughput Configurations:

Trident is available in four throughput configurations. Single, double, triple and quadruple process chambers are available to correspond with door open time and throughput requirements. The Trident High Yield de-fluxing series (DUO, TRIO, QUAD) can provide a cost effective solution for high volume de-fluxing applications while maintaining the process control of the Trident systems. Each chamber is controlled independently and can provide a flexible cleaning option.

Touchscreen Interface:

Trident is controlled by a Windows 7 PC computer equipped with a touchscreen interface. Process data including estimated completion time, cleanliness monitoring values, and operating temperatures are displayed via this interface. The software includes multi-layered password protection and prevents unauthorized program changes. Programmable maintenance reminders, remote viewing, unlimited recipes and troubleshooting features are all included.

Spray System:

Trident is equipped with an asymmetrical fan-jet spray system. Twin stainless steel counter rotating spray bars featuring twenty stainless steel fan-jet nozzles project precision-diffused wash solution and rinse water onto an oscillating board rack. This spray system was implemented to deliver controlled fluid energy underneath fine pitch components.

Cleanliness Monitoring:

All Trident models are equipped with a built-in cleanliness monitoring feature. The systems will continue to rinse assemblies until a desired resistivity level is achieved. This process monitoring tool will indicate and record when residual wash solution has been removed from the cleaning chamber and can be used to assist with Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) testing.

Statistical Process Control (SPC):

Trident features a comprehensive Statistical Process Control (SPC) system. Alpha/Numeric recipe names, process times and temperatures, set and actual rinse resistivity levels and other valuable data are stored automatically. Built in assembly barcode scanning allows all of the SPC data to be tied to a specific assembly serial/lot number. Advanced search features allow the SPC data to be viewed on screen, sent to a wireless printer, exported via USB and viewed via network protocols.



The following process data is automatically captured:
• Assembly serial number
• Date and time of batch (start and completion)
• Programmed wash solution temperature
• Actual wash solution temperature
• Maximum quantity of programmed rinse cycles
• Actual quantity of rinse cycles
• Programmed cleanliness value
• Actual cleanliness value
• Pass and fail cleanliness status
• Programmed drying time
• Actual drying time
• Programmed drying temperature
• Actual drying temperature
• Operator name
• Operator notes
• Equipment notifications (if any)

Users may utilize the aSPC software's advanced search capability to search for specific assemblies that have previously been cleaned and tested. Users may enter an individual assembly serial number, date ranges, operator names, recipe names or pass/fail status for access to specific SPC data records. Additionally, users may view or print all SPC data records. Trident's aSPC software is also equipped with an export feature, allowing all SPC data to be exported as an .XLS file for import into Excel® or other data capturing software. Trident's aSPC software stores the captured data in an industry standard SQL database for easy data integration into third-party software. Trident's aSPC software is compatible with 1D and 2D USB barcode scanners.

Drying System:

Trident's drying system utilizes a combination of radiant and convection heat to thoroughly remove residual moisture from both the surface area and underneath component spaces of assemblies. A 1400 CFM blower circulates filtered-heated air through the chamber, while a radiant heater supplies heating energy from below the basket. With the correct drying profile, assemblies can exit the machine drier than prior to cleaning.
