Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to improve flux spray atomization and/or splash control are described. In one embodiment, a flux nozzle includes a plurality of injection holes to deposit flux fluid through an exit hole of an air cap onto a substrate (such as a printed circuit board). The flux fluid may atomize prior to deposition onto the substrate as relatively smaller broken down flux droplets that may aid reduced spray splash. Other embodiments are also described.

Methods and apparatus to improve flux air cap and/or spray nozzle designs are described. In one embodiment, a flux nozzle may include a cylindrical portion and a conical portion. Other embodiments are also described.
Abstract:
A solder-flux composition is sprayed onto a substrate by rotating the solder-flux composition inside a spray cap, and before the solder-flux liquid exits the spray cap, perturbing the flow thereof with a fluid.

Methods and apparatus to improve air cap design for controlling spray flux are described. In one embodiment, a plurality of opposing gas inlets are provided in an air cap, e.g., to reduce or eliminate potential opposing turbulence inside the air cap. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for treating workpieces are described. One embodiment relates to a deflux system including at least one array of nozzles, the nozzles adapted to transmit a fluid outward therefrom. The nozzles are moveable relative to one another, so that a distance between adjacent nozzles can be varied. The nozzles are individually adjustable with respect to an angle of spray emitted therefrom during operation. The system also includes a controller adapted to send a signal to each of the nozzles to transmit the fluid therethrough at a desired angle at a desired time. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
