Foresite has licensed FinePoint to launch the newly developed C3. The C3 was designed by Foresite to create a method of localised extraction and cleanliness monitoring on electronic assemblies. Focusing on a 0.1in2 area of a circuit board, the C3 uses a steaming mechanism to extract a residue sample.
The sample is collected in a disposable test cell and analysed on the manufacturing floor.
A "clean" or "dirty" reading is immediately seen, and samples that warrant further analysis can be sent to a lab for ion chromatography analysis.
Foresite President Terry Munson states: "Foresite saw a critical need for cleanliness monitoring on the manufacturing floor.
FinePoint has dedicated itself to surface matter cleanliness, and is well positioned to bring the C3 to market.
Foresite will continue to develop surface matter solutions and provide process consulting for electronic assemblers".
