Product Description

The FPC 4-Axis Cleaning Machine STXK Series is developed for flexible printed circuit (FPC) cleaning applications. The all-new magnetic levitation drive provides smooth, stable operation with no noise and no vibration, ensuring flexible circuit substrates are never deformed or creased during the cleaning process.

Special precision adhesive cleaning rollers in a 4-axis multi-roller configuration deliver high efficiency cleaning that improves post-cleaning yield. Integrated static control prevents static-related quality defects, and the quick-change window structure makes adhesive roller and paper roll replacement fast and easy.

Industry Applications

FPC Production Electronics Manufacturing Flexible Circuit Processing PCB Manufacturing

Application Scenarios

FPC Pre-Bonding Surface Preparation

Flexible printed circuits require pristine bonding surfaces for reliable electrical connections at ACF (anisotropic conductive film) bonding stages. Particles or contamination at the bonding pad prevent proper conduction and cause open-circuit failures. The 4-axis cleaning system reaches bonding areas with precision, removing particles from all active surface areas before the bonding stage.

Flexible Display FPC Assembly

FPCs used in OLED and flexible display applications must be cleaned before being bonded to the display panel. Any particle contamination at the connection point creates electrical defects that are difficult to detect and even harder to rework. The STXK Series' multi-axis approach ensures complete surface coverage including edge zones that single-axis systems often miss.

Precision Component Assembly Quality Control

In precision electronics assembly, FPCs often pass through multiple processing stations before final assembly. Each station is a contamination opportunity. Positioning the 4-axis cleaner at the critical pre-assembly stage acts as the final contamination gate, ensuring only clean, charge-free FPCs proceed to the assembly robot or operator.

4-Axis vs Single-Axis FPC Cleaning

Standard single-axis cleaners clean only the top or bottom surface in a single linear pass. The STXK Series 4-axis configuration applies cleaning rollers in multiple orientations, reaching the full surface including areas near flex points, stiffener edges, and connector pads that single-axis systems skip. For FPCs going to high-reliability applications — automotive, medical, aerospace — the 4-axis approach significantly reduces the particle-induced defect rate. For higher-volume production requiring even more thorough coverage, consider the FPC 8-Axis Advanced Cleaning Machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does '4-axis' mean in FPC cleaning?

The 4-axis configuration means the cleaning rollers operate across four axes of movement, allowing them to reach and clean all critical surface areas of a flexible printed circuit — including edges, flex zones, and connector pad regions that a single linear roller cannot access effectively.

What types of FPC can the STXK Series clean?

The STXK Series handles standard FPCs, flexible substrates, and thin film materials used in consumer electronics, mobile devices, automotive electronics, and display assembly. Material compatibility is confirmed during the application review stage.

How does the machine handle the flexibility of FPC materials?

The magnetic levitation drive system provides smooth, vibration-free transport that does not stress or deform flexible substrates during cleaning. The adhesive roller pressure is precisely controlled to ensure effective particle removal without causing flex fatigue or delamination.

When should I choose 4-axis over 8-axis FPC cleaning?

The 4-axis STXK Series is suited for standard FPC cleaning requirements where surface coverage and edge reach are the primary concerns. The 8-axis system provides additional cleaning stages for high-volume production lines with ultra-thin substrates or stringent cleanliness requirements. Contact us with your substrate specifications and throughput targets to determine the best fit.

Does the machine integrate static elimination?

Yes. Integrated static control is included to neutralize electrostatic charge on FPC surfaces simultaneously with particle removal, preventing re-contamination after the cleaning pass.

What is the lead time for the STXK Series?

Lead time depends on the configuration and customization required. Contact us with your specifications and production timeline for an accurate delivery estimate.
