Plasma cleaning is a dry & environmentally friendly technique answering the needs of the printed circuit board and electronic component assembly industry.
It is a well-established technique for removing residue (de-smearing) left behind by laser drilling of vias. Our plasma cleaning machines feature multiple loading racks that ensure excellent uniformity across and between the PCB’s and from process to process.
Typical Industry Applications:
- Plasma Cleaning prior to bonding
- Plasma Activation of printed circuit boards prior to potting & encapsulation
- Etching & de-smearing of epoxy, flex-rigid and Teflon printed circuit boards
- De-oxidation of gold contacts

Henniker Plasma - Atmospheric Plasma Robot
Atmospheric plasma treatment is ideal for in-line processing & very effective at activating and cleaning the surface of a material, increasing the adhesion characteristics and making it easier to bond, paint and glue. Henniker's atmospheric plasma surface treatment systems can be integrated with a 3-axis robot to follow precise treatment patterns as part of an automated process..
