30,000.00 $
The Inline Plasma Cleaner JA-VC400 is a 400 W atmospheric plasma system for SMT lines that removes organic contamination, oxidation and dust from PCBs up to 500 mm wide. No vacuum chamber is needed. Part of our Automatic Plasma Machine range in Surface Treatment Solutions.
Key Features
- High-Power 400W Plasma: 400W plasma power output for stronger surface activation and deeper contamination removal than entry-level models.
- Wide PCB Compatibility: Supports PCB widths up to 500mm — ideal for large-format boards used in automotive and industrial electronics.
- Atmospheric Pressure Operation: No vacuum chamber needed; runs at atmospheric pressure for true inline, continuous throughput.
- Dry Chemical-Free Process: Eliminates organic residues, oxides, moisture films, and particulates without any liquid chemicals.
- Surface Activation & Adhesion: Dramatically increases surface energy for superior solder paste wetting, coating adhesion, and underfill flow.
- PLC Touchscreen Control: PLC touchscreen control with programmable multi-recipe management for different board types and processes.
- Flexible Process Setup: Motorized or manual conveyor width adjustment with adjustable plasma head height for process flexibility.
- Dual ESD Protection: Anti-static ionizer bars at entry and exit protect ESD-sensitive components throughout transport.
- SMEMA Line Integration: SMEMA-compatible for automatic start/stop integration with upstream and downstream SMT equipment.
- Eco-Friendly & Compliant: Zero chemicals consumed; zero hazardous waste generated. Fully RoHS and CE compliant.
Product Description
The VC400 Inline Plasma Cleaner is a high-performance atmospheric plasma surface treatment system engineered for direct integration into high-volume SMT production lines. Leveraging 400W plasma power, it delivers superior dry cleaning and surface activation — removing organic contaminants, oxidation, micro-dust, and ionic residues from PCB surfaces without any chemicals, solvents, or vacuum chambers.
As a step-up from the VC350, the VC400 offers enhanced plasma power output and supports wider PCB formats, making it the ideal choice for manufacturers running larger boards, higher throughputs, or more demanding surface treatment processes such as underfill pre-treatment, conformal coating preparation, and precision wire bonding applications.
Its fully inline, conveyor-based design ensures continuous, uninterrupted production flow — compatible with standard SMT line heights and SMEMA communication protocols for seamless upstream and downstream handshaking.

Why Choose the VC400?
| vs. VC350 (Entry Model)
50% more plasma power (400W vs 350W) and wider board support (500mm vs 450mm) for higher throughput and more demanding processes. |
vs. Solvent / Wet Cleaning
No chemicals, no drying step, no waste disposal. Safer for operators; lower total cost of ownership. |
| vs. Vacuum Plasma Systems
No batch processing. Continuous inline flow with no pump-down time — dramatically higher throughput per hour. |
vs. UV / Corona Treatment
More uniform activation energy; effective on complex geometries, vias, and recessed areas UV cannot reach. |
