Surface Finishing
Tin Plating Post-Treatment Line
Built-to-spec surface finishing system for fabricators who need repeatable yield and predictable cycle times.
View detailsThe HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) (WET-SF-02) handles a defined step in the PCB process flow as part of the surface finishing group. It is normally specified together with the cells immediately upstream and downstream of it, which is where most of the yield and cycle-time gains actually come from.
Where the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) Fits in the Process
In a PCB line the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) sits in the surface finishing area. Correct integration with the steps before and after it is what protects overall yield, cycle time, and cost per panel, so it is specified as part of the wider flow rather than in isolation.
Features and Capabilities
- Stainless-steel wetted parts and chemically resistant construction where the process requires it.
- Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
- Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
- Controlled bath chemistry for consistent finish thickness.
- Even coverage across the panel for solderability and shelf life.
Typical Applications
Used to apply protective, solderable finishes for boards destined for SMT and through-hole assembly.
Configured to Your Line
This is not an off-the-shelf machine. We confirm your panel size, throughput target, and facility services first, then propose a configuration of the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) that fits. Installation guidance and commissioning support are included so the line reaches stable output quickly.
Talk to Our Engineers
Every HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) is quoted against a real specification, not a list price. Share your requirements and our engineering team will propose a build and confirm pricing and lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials or board types does the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) support?
Supported board types include Rigid, multilayer, HDI (flex / rigid-flex optional). Other substrates can often be qualified with a short process trial — send a sample and we will confirm.
What is the maximum panel or workpiece size for the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free)?
This configuration is rated for a maximum panel size of 610 x 610 mm. Larger or thinner stock can usually be accommodated with tooling changes — confirm the exact window for your job before ordering.
Can the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free) be customised for our process?
Yes. Conveyor width, tooling, control options, and the surrounding handling can be adapted to your panel size, throughput target, and facility constraints. Share your specification and we will propose a configuration.
What lead time and support come with the HASL Post-Treatment Line (Leaded and Lead-Free)?
Lead time is quoted per order once the configuration is fixed. Installation guidance, commissioning support, and spare-parts documentation are provided so the line reaches stable output quickly.
