KFS-VAF volumetric atomized flux applicator is for selective soldering. Controls and dispenses atomized flux material on demand via a user-programmable control system. Does not require any mechanical adjustments. Spray volume and width is set by user-programmed control parameters; varying amounts of coverage can be accomplished as needed on the same printed circuit board. Can be used with all known fluxes, even up to 33% solids. Can be integrated with the KFSDJ drop jet fluxer.
