Simple, Reliable 'Plug'n Spray' COBOX Spray Fluxer Marks 200th Unit Sold


Londonderry, New Hampshire, USA -- Cobar Solder Products' simple, reliable COBOX retrofittable spray fluxer has become so popular in the two years since its introduction that it has sold more than 200 units, Lance Larrabee, General Manager, announced today.

"The COBOX 'Plug'n Spray' spray fluxer is a simple, drop-in replacement for foam, wave, and first-generation spray-fluxers" Larrabee says. "It works with virtually any type of no-clean, alcohol, or water-based, or VOC-free, flux. Because it is so flexible, easy to clean and simple to install and operate, it has become especially popular, with over two hundred units sold since its introduction."

The COBOX Plug'n Spray fluxer is easy to disassemble and service, manufactured of stainless steel and titanium parts, and features a magnetically-driven nozzle assembly. Its simple and straightforward design, combined with computer-controlled movement, and a uniquely short distance of 50mm/2" to the board surface, delivers high-quality spraying performance that ensures uniform wetting and through-hole penetration/top side wicking without excess deposition or flux waste. The COBOX Plug'n Spray saves more than 60% of flux over comparable foam-type fluxers.

The unit is specifically designed to work with the typical range for surface tension and capillary viscosity of water-based (VOC-free) fluxes, and eliminates over and under spraying problems, producing excellent topside wicking, even on OSP-boards, and has lower maintenance requirements. COBOX features an air-driven, high precision nozzle with an adjustable cone. The COBOX Plug'n Spray is a field-retrofittable system, compatible with many soldering systems, and includes a fluxing unit, control cabinet, and exhaust hood.
