A very popular multi-purpose PCB processing unit specifically developed to satisfy demands from both the educational and industrial sectors. The unit features all the advantages of our normal 5 tank processing units with the added benefit of an integral sink with hot and cold water to keep PCB processing clean and efficient . Possible processing sequences are: Develop / Wash / Etch / Wash / Resist Strip OR Develop / Wash / Etch / Wash / Immerse Tin. It is recommended that the last tank be used for tinning and the Photoresist is stripped in the sink with a SN120 strip applicator.
