2.2 Equipment Application, Purpose
The Paraquda equipment with all its components is designed to fulfill the requirements of a SMT
(Surface Mount Technology) production. The SMD (Surface Mount Device) components are picked
out of feeders or trays and placed on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Equipped with a dispenser the Paraquda can place dispensing media (e.g. solder paste or
adhesives) on a PCB or any carrier.
Use only materials especially designed for applications like Silicone/Phosphor, Underfill, Dam and
Fill, SMD Adhesive, Sealing, Encapsulation, Thermal Paste. Other materials might have hidden
hazards or could damage equipment components. In any case, take notice of the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) of the appropriate material.
