SMT Nozzle Cleaning & Maintenance<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Dust and adhesive residue can restrict the suction passage inside SMT placement nozzles. The nozzle may still look clean from the outside while producing low-vacuum alarms, component mispicks or dropped parts during machine movement.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Automatic nozzle cleaning removes internal contamination without inserting needles or metal wires into fine nozzle openings. Cleaned nozzles can then be dried, inspected and vacuum-tested before returning to the placement machine.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SMT Nozzle Cleaning FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Is the DEZ-C700 Compatible with Our Nozzles?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Compatibility depends on the nozzle body diameter, length and mounting structure. Provide nozzle models, dimensions or samples before ordering.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Many Nozzles Can Be Cleaned?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The standard tray holds 30 compatible nozzles per batch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Contamination Can It Remove?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The machine removes dust and compatible deposits from the internal suction passage. It cannot repair worn, cracked, bent or chipped nozzles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can It Clean Fine SMT Nozzles?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

It supports compatible nozzles used for components including 0402, 0201, 01005 and 03015.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Cleaning Liquid Is Required?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The DEZ-C700 uses industrial purified water. Tap water is not recommended because minerals can remain inside fine nozzle openings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Utilities Are Required?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The machine requires a 220 VAC power supply, 0.5\u20130.6 MPa compressed air and industrial purified water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can Nozzles Return Directly to the Placement Machine?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The nozzles should be completely dried, visually inspected and vacuum-tested before reuse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Often Should SMT Nozzles Be Cleaned?<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The interval depends on nozzle use, contamination, component type and pickup performance. Cleaning can be scheduled during product changeovers or when vacuum and mispick data begin to deteriorate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
