Foresite Licenses FinePoint to Sell New Cleanliness Monitor
Foresite (Kokomo, IN) has licensed FinePoint to launch the newly developed C3. The C3 was designed by Foresite to create a method of localized extraction and cleanliness monitoring on electronic assemblies.
Focusing on a 0.1 in² area of a circuit board, the machine uses a steaming mechanism to extract a residue sample. The sample is collected in a disposable test cell and analyzed on the manufacturing floor. A 'clean' or 'dirty' reading is immediately seen, and samples that warrant further analysis can be sent to a lab for ion chromatography analysis.
Foresite president Terry Munson said, "Foresite saw a critical need for cleanliness monitoring on the manufacturing floor. FinePoint has dedicated itself to surface matter cleanliness and is well positioned to bring the C3 to market. Foresite will continue to develop surface matter solutions and provide process consulting for electronic assemblers."
Foresite Inc. (formerly CSL) is a process consulting house and analytical laboratory dedicated to solving reliability issues for electronic assemblies. With over 12 years of experience in the industry, Foresite specializes in failure analysis, process qualification and cleanliness investigation.
