... for prototyping and small batch production of printed circuit boards

Etching Device 1 and 2

Etching Devices 1 and 2 are used in laboratories and small batch production for making printed

circuit boards as well as for etching metal folies.

The cuvettes are out of cristal clear acrylic glass. They are mounted at a plastic tube in which the

membrane pump is mounted. Further the etching device includes the glass heater for heating up

the etchand temperature up to 45°C, a PCB-holder for carrying the printed circuit boards while

etching and a thermometer.

During etching the boards, the membrane pump blows air in the air curtain tube which is mounted

at the bottom of the tank. Outcome of this, small air bubbles are inside the etchand and reduces the

etching time.

gie - tec 1. Start-up 1.1 Placement GEFAHR! ACHTUNG! l Etching device 1 and 2 can be used for etching printed circuit boards and metal foils of various sizes. Any other use of the device is not permitted. The etching device will be delivered mounted completely. Only the glass heater and the thermometer has to plug in into the holes at the top of the tank. Place the etching device into the catch basin. Place the device on a horizontal, stable and acid-proof basis (e. g. tiled table).

gie - tec 1.5 Adjusting the heating regulator 1. Switch-on the glass heater only when the tank is filled and the pump is activated! Markierung ATTENTION! 2. The water level should be a few millimeters above the marking of the heating rod so the heater regulation can work correctly. Pay attention to the temperature of etching bath. Temperaure higher than +50°C may result in deformation of the acrylic tank and may damage the glass heater. 3.

gie - tec 3. Abwasserbeseitigung ACHTUNG! According the water law of Germany (BGBI (186/1996) dated 19.04.1996), the remainder content of copper is limited to 0,5mg/l that may be delivered to the drainage. Because of new limits appointed by the goverment, it is suitable to inquire corresponding information of the appropriate government agencies.
