What is the role of air compressors in the SMT industry?

Air compressors convert electrical or mechanical energy into compressed air, providing a high-pressure, dry, and clean air supply, and serve as the “pneumatic power source” for industrial applications.

Role in the SMT Industry

1.Air supply for pneumatic components (cylinders, solenoid valves) in equipment such as placement machines, printers, and reflow ovens

2.Air blowing for PCB cleaning, vacuum assistance for nozzles, and component pickup and positioning

3.Pneumatic control for equipment cylinder movements, fixture clamping, and track elevation
