AQUBE^® XH9
Cleans PCBAs, hybrids and misprints from flux residues, resin, copper, oxide and soldering support substances

AQUBE^{^®} XH9 is a fully automatic high-end ultra-fine cleaning system for PCBAs, hybrids and DCBs as well as single-sided misprints with a capacity of up to 900 (14.4 m²/155 ft 2 ) eurocards and a relative cleaning time of approx. five seconds per card per cleaning cycle.

The configuration with a super large process chamber, three tanks working in parallel and three separate circuits, cleaning temperatures of up to 80 °C and drying temperatures of up to 120 °C as well as closed-loop water treatment ensures short cycle times and low operating costs, resulting in unprecedentedly low total cost of ownership.

This makes the AQUBE^{^®} XH9 the perfect economic choice for qualified mass cleaning of assembled PCBs/circuit boards. The compact, easy-to-operate and easy-to-maintain system is Smart-Factory-ready and pre-equipped for extended water management.
