All Things Become New

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

 

All Things Become New

 

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

 

Brothers and Sisters the above Scripture has been miss-quoted so many times that it is not funny, but sad. So many people have been told that All of Their Sins are gone, washed away, no more worries, but this is incorrect. For Our Spirits have been made Brand New, but We through the Power of The Holy Spirit still have to deal with Our Flesh.

 

As I have said many times before, if Salvation was easy, if it were done in just Accepting Jesus as Savior, then, they would be no need for 27 Books that are in the New Testament, but could have been done with only a pamphlet. But what we find in the 27 Books is to Bring Our Bodies Under Submission To The Spirit! Which the above Scripture implies by saying, “…behold, all things are become new.”. In other words, we used to Do and Say things one way that we understood by The Flesh, but now we look at the same things from God’s Point of view and Changes Our Way Of Thinking and Acting.

 

In Romans we find Paul begging for Change in The Flesh…

 

Romans 12:1-2 KJV

"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

 

These Two Scriptures sum up what is needed to be done. That first we need to Understand that it is By God’s Mercies that we are allowed to bring our Flesh in to Submission to The Spirit to Become a Living Sacrifice for God to use. Secondly we find that by Allowing this that Our Living In The Spirit and bring Our Bodies into Submission is Holy and Acceptable unto God which IS the only Reasonable Service we can do. How we are to accomplish this, is Not being Conformed to the Worlds Ideologies on how to do things, but that Our Minds MUST be Transformed from one way of thinking to a completely different way of thinking. Why is this? So that we who are to Live In The Spirit, bring Our Bodies into Submission to Prove that God’s Ways are Good, they are Acceptable and we will Produce The Perfect Will Of God in Our Lives for The World to see that Jesus is Savior and Lord! That it is much, much more than just Confessing that Jesus is Savior and Lord, but through Our Speech and Actions we can Prove this Transformation that is Provided By God’s Mercies.

 

James 2:14-24 KJV

"14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."

 

No, Works cannot Save Us, nor can just Confession that Jesus is Savior, but it is the combination of them both that Salvation is brought forth, all for The World to see.

 

This is why Jesus said you cannot Hide a Candle Stick under a basket, but that it is brought to the center of the room for All Flesh to see.

 

Matthew 5:14-16 KJV

"14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

 

Even Our Lord Jesus said, “…Your Good Works…”, for your Spirit is made brand new by Your Confession, but now Your Good Works will be a Witness and Testimony to those in the World to see The Work that has been done in you. It is like Baptism, it does not Save You, but is an Outward Sign to an Inward Change for others to see. Every one of us who are Born Again, Blood Bought, MUST have Outward Signs that something Supernatural has taken place within us, but as in all things, it is Our Choice!

 

In the Book Of Acts we are shown the Outward Evidence to an Inward Change, when All Things became Common among everyone who had Accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord.

 

Acts 4:32-35 KJV

"32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid [them] down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."

 

This, Brothers and Sisters is the True Church! There is both Confession and Works that have come together as being in One Accord. They Freely made everything Common among themselves, to all who had Confessed Jesus as Savior  and now by Works, their Confessions are made Manifested In Works, Proving Jesus as Lord.

 

Jesus made a Confounding Statement, He said by The Love that you have for one another, the World will know that You are My Disciples. Jesus was speaking about what would take place in the above Scriptures, that The Love that you have for one another will Prove to The World that You Are My Disciples!!! When Jesus spoke these words, it was NOT the Love for those in The Flesh, The World, but He was talking about The Church Loving each other.

 

John 13:34-35 KJV

"34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

 

Jesus is not talking about the Lost, Unsaved, He is talking about those who Confess Him as Savior and Lord! That The Works Of Love that we do for one another is Proof that We are The Disciples Of Jesus. There should be No Divisions among us in any shape of form, but showing Loving, Manifesting Love for one another is a Demand of Jesus towards His Church in these the Later Days. There should not be any Hungry among you, there should not be any who are Destitute among you, there should not be any who are in Rag Clothing among you, but let everything be Common among you, the Born Again, Blood Bought!!! Let us truly Repent and truly turn Our Wicked Ways into Godly Ways, so that the following Scripture will be Manifested In God’s Temple, His Church…

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

 

You say what do we have to Repent For? For many are Arrogant among you, thinking that you are better than the poor among you, who are Your Brothers and Sisters In Jesus! You Tithe your money not for the Needs of Brothers and Sisters, but for anything else but for those things needed! You build large buildings that are fancy and miss how a barn would suffice! You wear fancy clothes and say we must dress for the occasion only to manifest yourselves to your peers, saying look at me, having no understanding that good clean clothes of a man, woman and child who’s hearts and actions are one of obedience and are more acceptable then you! You put people into position of authority just because you can, not knowing that the least that you count is more godly then you all! Shall I continue or have you hardened your hearts enough!!! You justify your words and your actions only to have God turn His Face from you, but turns to the one that is humble before God to manifest His Love in and through!!!

 

It is not giving to the poor on the street, but to the poor that is Your Brothers or Sisters or giving to those who call themselves missionaries, when you cannot even take care of your own house! We have become so lazy that if we cannot push a button to get it done, we do not want any part of it! Back in the old days they used have barn raising events that all of the neighbors would come together to help another neighbor in building a barn, asking for nothing in return, except a thank you. Today if I cannot pay someone to do something, it will not get done regardless the need that is at hand, they are left to their own devices to sink or swim with no worriers of your own to care one way or the other.

 

To all of those in these two paragraphs who choose ungodliness over godliness I Rebuke!! You call yourselves the church but your speech and actions speak of someone who is foreign to The Kingdom Of God!!! You have made All Things New, but not in a good way, Jesus is still waiting for a truly repentant heart whom He can use as vessels of honor! There should be such a movement within God’s House that every news media on earth would be fighting to get that news!!! Repent Church, Repent, Jesus is coming and He is coming for The Elite In Him, Walking In Obedience, Doing The Fathers Will in their lives so that The World can see!!!

 

Think on this Scripture…

 

Matthew 7:21 KJV

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

 

  

Amen and Amen!!!

Transformation

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

 

Transformation

 

Brothers and Sisters one of the things that Jesus said many times is that we Must Change in order to be Accepted Into The Kingdom Of God. Jesus made it very clear that without the Transformation we would not enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven.

 

Matthew 16:24 KJV

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

  

Matthew 18:3 KJV

"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

 

A Man, Woman, Child, must Change after Accepting Jesus, they cannot remain the same as they were. It is the Choice that Every single person Must make after Accepting Jesus as Savior. The Change makes Jesus Lord, if there is No Change, then Jesus has Not Become Their Lord.

 

Nowhere in Scripture will you find that Accepting Jesus you are Changed In The Flesh, but will find throughout Scripture that We, that is Our Flesh, Must Choose To Change.

 

Too many people Believe that when they Accepted Jesus that all was good, that Change was not need because Change In The Spirit has Change them in the Flesh, this, is Incorrect Teaching. Too many people confess certain Scriptures and Believe based on these Scriptures that a person is Saved just by Confession that they Believe In Jesus and have Confessed so with Their Mouth. This is a miss understanding of Scripture. Jesus said many times in Scripture that We Must Choose To Change or we would Not Be Saved.

 

Romans 10:9-10 KJV

"9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

 

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

 

 There has been many who have argued over these Scriptures, even fight over these Scriptures, all because they Understood In The Flesh, but Not By The Spirit. In the Romans passage of Scripture there is a Conjunction between Confess AND Believe, this Conjunction Requires that there is More to be said and that is Believe. In this case the word Believe Requires that there be Change, that a Transformation Must happen in order to continue with the First, Confess. Too many people have based their Lives on the Confess part without the Believe part and now Believe that only Confession is Required to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus has made it clear that a Transformation Must happen in a person’s Life in order to enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven!

 

Jesus said: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” we Must do the Will of The Father after Confession, this is the Believe In Your Heart. Everything that we Do or Say starts in The Heart and then is made Manifested In The Flesh Our Actions Of Believe.

 

We find later in Romans that Paul is begging for us to Change, to be Transformed Into Godliness.

 

Romans 12:1-2 KJV

"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

 

 Change, Transformation, is Required to Prove what is Good, what is Acceptable, what is Perfect, The Will Of The Father!!! This Transformation is OUR CHOICE NOT GODS!!!

 

There are some who would say, well I go to church on Sundays and Wednesdays and I sing in the choir and I read my Bible every day, I’m good as gold to enter into the Kingdom Of God… NO YOU ARE NOT!!! All of these things are hidden within one’s self, nothing is External! Jesus said if you Truly Believe, then Keep My Commandments.  Part of Jesus Commandments is to go beyond yourself so The World will know that WE are His Disciples.

  

Matthew 5:14-16 KJV

"14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

 

This Requires Action, that what has happened within ourselves Must be Shown To The World that Jesus is both Savior and Lord OVER Our Lives…Not just Savior.

 

The Lord part, is the Action Part that The Holy Spirit leads us to do. Jesus CANNOT be Lord if you do not do what He Says. This is where the Truth of Salvation lies, that Confess and Action must happen in order to be Saved!! This is also where many get it incorrect by saying this is a “Works” mentality, no this is not.

 

One of the things Required in Salvation is to be Baptized, so, what is the purpose of being Baptized? Being Baptized does not bring Salvation. Which is another argument  that I will not engage in this message. But being Baptized is for two purposes, one, we are commanded to do so and it is an Outward Sign TO an Inward Change. Now what is the Change, it has occurred in The Spirit, NOT THE FLESH, that Jesus has washed you clean. This is where many people stop at, not understanding that there is more that Must happen, being Baptized is Only the beginning in the Journey of one being Saved, now Works Must accompany the Confession and being Baptized is only one part of The Works we Must do.

 

James 2:26 KJV

" For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

 

So now Confession “Faith” without Works “Believe” is dead, in which Romans is referring to, that yes you have Confessed that Jesus is Your Savior but without Works to Prove that a Change has occurred then it is Dead, Worthless!!!

Our Flesh Must Be Transformed Into a Child Of God, which Requires Change! This means that the way we used to do things we must change into The Fathers Will. Like our Speech, our Friends, even our Family, Where we Hangout, our Clothes, our Presentation (makeup, hair, tattoos), our Jobs and many, many more things Must Transform Into Being a Child Of God!!! These Transformations are the Believe part, not the Confession part.

James 2:19-20 KJV

"19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"

 

We Must Transform and Show The World through physical means that we have Changed from One Person to another Person. It is not good enough to just say we have changed, but we Must Prove that we have changed!! The following Scripture many people get completely wrong…

 

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

 

This Scripture is a Journey Scripture, it is Not instantaneity! The last phrase in this Scripture says, “Behold, all things Become New”, this deals with Our Choices For Change.  The Holy Spirit will Lead you and Guide you in what needs to Change, Transform, in Your Life, but it does Not Happen all at once. The Holy Spirit might start with Your Friends, telling you not to hang out with them anymore because they are a Bad Influence that they will have over you. This one of the hardest changes that any Born Again might deal with, only thing harder would be Family. But in any case this might take you a while to Complete, stating again, “Behold All Things are BECOME New”!  Too many people get hung up on “Old things are passed away” this has to include the “New Creature”, which is dealing with the Spirit, the Old Spirit is Passed away and we have a New Spirit, but the later part deals with the Flesh. The Spiritual part is Instantaneity, but not our Flesh, it has to be Transformed, which is the “all things Become New”.

 

Transformation is hard, it is not easy for most people. Our Flesh was happy where it was and to make Changes Against what The Flesh wants is hard for any True Born Again, Blood Bought to deal with. But it is something that is a Requirement for All Born Again, Blood Bought to do, there are NO Exceptions!!!

 

So, to those who have Taught that Confession alone you are Saved…STOP Lying and Teaching False Doctrine!!! Do you remember the Leapers that Jesus healed, Jesus Expected Works to follow…

 

Luke 17:11-19 KJV

"11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."

 

Jesus Expected there to be ten men that would Do The Works that this one man has done and this one man was a Samaritan which in this culture is considered the worst, came back and Praised Jesus and bowed at His Feet, this is what being Truly Saved will do. There Must be True Works Of Faith to Follow AFTER Confession is made or else it is like the nine men who did not return to give Thanks and to Bow Down at Jesus feet. With us not having Works would be Dead, would be Unacceptable to Jesus, when He Expects a True Transformation to those who are Saved!

 

Brothers and Sister this all should have been Taught to you from the very beginning of Confessing Jesus as Savior, that now you Must Choose to Change Your Life into a Godly, Perfect Life, that Jesus Demands. Some of you would say that Change has No Demands but that is incorrect, consider these Scriptures…

 

Matthew 7:21 KJV

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

 

Luke 9:23-24 KJV

"23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

 

John 12:24-26 KJV

"24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour."

 

There are many, many more Scriptures to show that we Must Change, be Transformed into a Child Of God, that it is Our Choices that we make daily to Choose Godly things over Fleshly things. If you Love Jesus, then Transformation becomes a little easier, not saying that the hard times there is no Love, but, Jesus says that if we Truly Love Him then Change, Transformation into a Godly Child, a Spiritual Child!

 

John 14:15 KJV

“If ye love me, keep my commandments."

 

This statement is a Demand Of Love, that Transformation Must happen. Jesus will not Accept anything less, we who are Born Again, Blood Bought, are under this contract of Change!!!

 

Brothers and Sisters, Jesus is coming back and He is coming back under these conditions, that Transformation is happening because we Love Him. He is coming for His Bride, which is all of the Born Again, Blood Bought, who have Agreed to Change and are being Transformed into His Likeness.

 

Matthew 25:10 KJV

“And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."

 

We Must be Ready, we Must be Transforming for the Marriage to Jesus, being presented to The Father. Transformation is a Demand that if not done will suffer consequences that I cannot name.

 

Brothers and Sisters examine yourselves, weigh yourself against the Bible, against those who are presenting doctrine to follow and see if you are Truly Transforming into the Bride of Jesus!

 

2 Corinthians 13:5-6 KJV

"5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates."

 

Psalm 139:23-24 KJV

"23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

 

Amen and Amen!!!

How Does LED Light Box Work?

How Does LED Light Box Work?

Light boxes are widely used tools designed to enhance the visibility of graphic displays through an outer frame. An LED light box specifically utilizes LEDs to illuminate fabric stretched across a frame. In retail settings, the main challenge often lies in capturing the attention of passers-by.
 
In essence, light boxes are employed to determine whether a campaign effectively attracts people's attention. This post will delve into what an LED light box is, how it operates, and the various applications of light boxes. Continue reading to learn more about LED light boxes.
 

What is an LED Light Box?

An LED light box is designed to illuminate various graphic displays. It comprises a frame, a graphic material like duratrans or fabric that allows light to pass through, and LED lights, all contained within a frame that ensures the graphic is brightly lit.
 
Light boxes are highly effective in enhancing visibility and capturing customer attention. It is well-established that illuminated graphics can significantly boost promotional efforts, often increasing sales by up to 30%.
 
LED light boxes have become incredibly popular in the commercial sector, revolutionizing the display industry with their advanced technology. They greatly enhance brand awareness and visibility, thanks to their innovative illuminated graphics.
 
These graphics are highly effective at drawing attention. Brands use LED light boxes to showcase their products and services, aiming to drive sales in retail environments. They can also be utilized in other similar settings to promote various offerings. With LED light boxes, you can make your graphics more vibrant and appealing.
 
Additionally, illuminated displays often feature easy graphic updates, allowing for flexibility and long-term use in your retail space. The market offers a range of LED light boxes, simplifying your choice.
 
They can be wall-mounted or freestanding and some come with double-sided frames to enhance the graphic's impact. Available in various shapes and sizes, these light boxes are versatile for use in exhibitions, malls, shop floors, and more.
 

What is an LED Light Box Used for?

LED light boxes are widely used as displays and promotional tools across various sectors, including entertainment, restaurants, venues, retail stores, and casinos. They play a crucial role in reinforcing both back-of-mind and top-of-mind actions essential for raising brand awareness and achieving measurable results.
 
Featuring bright, energy-efficient lighting, LED light boxes elevate visual illumination to new heights. This makes them suitable for a range of applications, such as retail, healthcare, hospitality, and other commercial environments, providing eye-catching visuals with significant energy savings.
 
These light boxes are utilized for both indoor and outdoor advertising. You can spot them in sports brand stores, mobile phone retailers, and more. The quality of illumination offered by LED light boxes has impressed users globally, thanks to the durability of the LEDs, which are designed to last for a long time.
 
The intensity of the display ensures clear and accurate images, essential for effective presentations and promotions. LED light boxes can be wall-mounted or freestanding and are available in various sizes and shapes to meet your specific needs. If you're looking to enhance your brand visibility, an LED slim light box can be highly beneficial.
 
Primarily used for outdoor advertising, LED light boxes capture significant attention and aid in promoting services, thereby boosting sales. They are also popular in exhibitions, where they ensure that artworks are illuminated effectively, creating a strong visual impact.
 
In environments with poor lighting, LED light boxes achieve what non-lit displays cannot, providing even light distribution and sharp image quality. This makes them ideal for retail outlets and exhibition centers, where they contribute to creating clear, vibrant displays that attract attention from the crowd.
 

How do LED Light Boxes Work?

LED light boxes utilize a system of backlit LED strips, representing the latest advancement in LED technology. These LED strips deliver exceptionally bright illumination, reaching up to 7000 lumens, and can be scaled for even larger installations.
 
The use of LEDs significantly enhances the visual display size, ensuring that brightness and light distribution are consistent across the entire frame. This results in a clearer and smoother image compared to non-lit surfaces.
 
Backlit LED technology ensures that even larger displays maintain clarity. The placement of the LED strips is crucial; the distance between them affects the quality of the displayed image. For optimal clarity, LED strips are typically spaced between three and four inches apart, with narrow intervals to intensify light output. This technology offers a range of styles and ensures 24/7 visibility for light boxes.
 
Companies and brands use advertisements to capture attention, and without proper visibility, the effort is wasted. Bright light naturally draws the human eye, making it nearly impossible to miss the message on a slim LED light box panel.
 

Differences between LED Light Boxes and LED Screen Panels

LED light boxes and LED screen panels have distinct characteristics and purposes.
 
Graphic Updates
LED light boxes are designed for frequent updates, such as seasonal or monthly promotions. They allow quick and tool-free graphic changes. In contrast, LED screen panels are intended for permanent or long-term displays, so graphic updates are not typically needed.
 
Material Used
LED light boxes are usually made from extruded aluminum, known for its elegance and durability. LED screen panels, on the other hand, are often constructed from wood, plastic, or steel. While aluminum offers superior aesthetics and longevity, the materials used for screen panels can be more cost-effective. Additionally, LED screen panels are generally larger, making them suitable for big venues like stadiums, buildings, or highway signs where visibility from a distance is crucial.
 
Security of the Graphic
LED light boxes feature a backlit film sandwiched between two lenses, allowing for easy graphic updates without replacing the lens. This setup often involves slide frames, flip edges, hinged doors, or snap frames. LED screen panels use a single translucent lens layer, designed for simplicity, durability, and moisture management.
 
Viewing Distances
LED light boxes are typically used for close-up views, ideal for promotional activities. In contrast, LED screen panels are designed for larger viewing distances, making them suitable for broad visibility.
 
Simplicity
Most LED light boxes are generic or rectangular, which facilitates mass production and reduces costs. Customization is applied to the graphic film itself. LED screen panels, however, are often custom-shaped or feature personalized elements that reflect a brand, and these features are not easily changeable.

This article delves into strategies and best practices for achieving these goals in car bumper injection moulding.
 
Car bumper injection moulding involves the process of shaping and forming materials into the desired shape and size for vehicle bumpers, frequently using injection molding techniques. However, this process is not without its challenges and potential issues that can impact the bumper's performance. By gaining a thorough understanding of these challenges, as well as the details of the bumper molding process, machinery, and common problems, you can more effectively produce these crucial safety components for vehicles.
 

Understanding Injection Moulding for Car Bumpers

Injection moulding is a manufacturing process where molten plastic is injected into a mould cavity to create precise and complex shapes. For car bumpers, this process involves using high-quality thermoplastic materials that offer strength, flexibility, and impact resistance. The injection moulding process is favored for its ability to produce high volumes of consistent and accurate parts with minimal waste.
 

1. Design for Manufacturability

Optimizing Mould Design:
The design of the mould significantly impacts both efficiency and quality. Employ advanced mould design techniques to ensure proper cooling, venting, and material flow. Use computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) tools to simulate the moulding process and identify potential issues before physical production begins. This proactive approach helps in refining the mould design for better performance and fewer defects.
 
Incorporating Draft Angles and Ribs:
Incorporate draft angles and ribs in the bumper design to facilitate easier ejection from the mould and improve structural strength. Draft angles reduce friction between the mould and the part, while ribs enhance rigidity without adding significant weight. These design considerations help in achieving consistent quality and reducing production cycle times.

 

2. Material Selection and Preparation

Choosing the Right Materials:
Selecting the appropriate thermoplastic material is crucial for achieving the desired bumper properties. Common materials include polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Each material offers unique characteristics such as impact resistance, flexibility, and durability. Ensure that the chosen material meets automotive industry standards and is compatible with the moulding process.
 
Material Drying and Conditioning:
Proper material preparation is essential to avoid defects such as moisture-related issues or inconsistent flow. Dry the plastic pellets thoroughly to remove any moisture before injection moulding. Moisture can cause problems like air bubbles, surface imperfections, and reduced mechanical properties. Use dehumidifying dryers or desiccant systems to achieve the optimal moisture content.
 

3. Optimizing Injection Moulding Parameters

Controlling Temperature and Pressure:
Precise control of temperature and pressure is vital for achieving high-quality bumper parts. Maintain consistent mould temperature to ensure uniform cooling and reduce warping or distortion. Control the injection pressure to achieve proper fill and minimize defects such as short shots or sink marks. Regularly monitor and adjust these parameters to accommodate variations in material and mould conditions.
 
Cycle Time Reduction:
Efficiently managing cycle times is key to maximizing production throughput. Optimize the mould cooling time and injection speed to balance quality and efficiency. Implement advanced technologies such as hot runner systems or multi-cavity moulds to reduce cycle times and increase productivity. Regularly review and refine these parameters to ensure optimal performance.
 

4. Quality Control and Testing

Implementing In-Process Quality Checks:
Incorporate in-process quality checks to detect and address issues early in the production cycle. Use techniques such as visual inspection, dimension measurements, and automated inspection systems to monitor the quality of the bumpers. Implement statistical process control (SPC) methods to track and analyze quality data, allowing for timely adjustments and continuous improvement.
 
Conducting End-of-Line Testing:
Perform end-of-line testing to verify that the finished bumpers meet all required specifications and standards. Test for mechanical properties, impact resistance, and fitment to ensure that the bumpers perform as intended. Use testing equipment such as impact testers, tensile testers, and dimensional gauges to evaluate the final product’s performance and quality.
 

5. Maintenance and Process Improvement

Regular Mould Maintenance:
Regular maintenance of injection moulds is essential to ensure consistent quality and prevent downtime.

When people think of "furniture," they often first imagine items like couches or chairs found in homes. However, furniture encompasses a wide variety of items that surround us daily. In residential settings, furniture includes dining room tables, end tables, bookcases, and large entertainment centers. In office environments, it extends to desks, conference room tables, office seating, and even mobile filing cabinets.

 
At Gravity Caster, where we specialize in selling casters, our perspective on furniture revolves around its mobility. We ask the fundamental question: does the furniture move, or does it remain stationary? If mobility is required, then casters play a crucial role, and that's where our expertise comes into play. As authorized representatives for leading caster manufacturers, we are well equipped to assist you in selecting the best casters and wheels for mobile furniture applications.
 

7 Steps to Selecting a Caster

Selecting the right casters and wheels for furniture involves navigating several critical considerations. Firstly, it's important to determine whether the casters need to complement the furniture's design or if they will be hidden from view. Additionally, understanding the type of flooring where the furniture will operate is crucial; for instance, carpeted floors typically require casters with rigid treads for better grip, whereas hard floors benefit from casters with softer treads to prevent damage and ensure smooth mobility.
 
Load capacity is another essential factor to evaluate. For example, with a table supported by four legs, each caster may only need to bear a quarter of the total weight. Conversely, for a four-legged chair, casters must be capable of supporting additional weight, especially if someone leans back on just two legs. In such cases, each caster should ideally handle at least half of the total load to ensure stability and durability over time.
 

Step 1 – Determine your product and mounting type.

Plate Type Swivel
Plate Type Fixed
With Leveling Mounts
Plug-in Type
Screw-In Type
Resin
With Shock Absorber
Angle Type
 

Step 2 – Determine your Load Capacity. The load capacity is determined by the formula below, safety factor and unevenness.

RGXDCmCQYW0.3646874852451414
T = Required load capacity of one wheel or caster
E = Deadweight of the transport unit
Z = Maximum additional load
n = number of wheels or casters used
S = safety factor
 
The safety factor is determined by the speed and the ratio between wheel diameter and the height of obstacles. It is categorized into four distinct groups:
 
Indoor Manual Transport: For obstacles less than 5% of the wheel diameter, the safety factor ranges from 1.0 to 1.5.
Outdoor Manual Transport: For obstacles greater than 5% of the wheel diameter, the safety factor ranges from 1.5 to 2.2.
Indoor Power-Driven Transport: For obstacles less than 5% of the wheel diameter, the safety factor ranges from 1.4 to 2.0.
Outdoor Power-Driven Transport: The safety factor ranges from 2.0 to 3.0.
 

Step 3 – Select your Tread Material.

The hardness, shape, and tread material of wheels and casters significantly affect their operational comfort, smooth-rolling performance, and the resistance encountered during starting, rolling, and swiveling. Typically, the wheel tread or tire should be softer than the floor to prevent damage.
 
The flooring on which a wheel operates must withstand the pressure, particularly under high loads. Special attention is needed for floors made of wood, tar, concrete, or those that are electrically conductive to ensure they are not damaged and maintain their integrity.
 

Step 4 – Determine Maneuverability – Starting, rolling, and swivel resistance

The starting resistance is the force required to accelerate a loaded wheel from a stationary position to a moving one.
 
Rolling resistance is the force that must be overcome to keep a loaded wheel moving at a constant speed. This resistance is caused by the continuous compression and rebound of the tread during the rolling process, known as hysteresis, which leads to energy losses due to the internal friction of the material.
 
Factors affecting starting and rolling resistance include:
Wheel diameter
Load
Floor surface
Bearing type
Tread material
Swivel resistance is the force needed to change the direction of a swivel caster.
 
Factors influencing swivel resistance include:
Tread material
Contact surface (floor)
Offset
The maneuverability of a transport unit is determined by the number, type, and arrangement of the casters. These factors also impact the load capacity, mobility, guidance, turning circle, and stability of the vehicle.
 

Step 5 – Select the Bearing Type

The wheel bearing plays a crucial role in the rolling performance of a wheel and, by extension, the mobility of the application equipment. It must satisfy various requirements, including load capacity, operational duration, environmental conditions, starting and rolling resistance, as well as any additional specific criteria.
 
Plain Bore Bearing: The plain bore is a simple, cost-effective, and durable wheel bearing, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free under standard conditions.
Roller Bearing: The roller bearing is a sturdy, robust, largely maintenance-free wheel bearing type that only requires a small mounting space.
Central Ball Bearing: A central ball bearing offers a very precise, light running performance and a good sealing.
 

Step 6 – Consider Your Application’s Environmental Influence

When selecting wheels or casters, it's crucial to consider their chemical resistance, particularly when these components come into direct contact with aggressive substances. Chemical resistance is influenced not only by the type of aggressive substance but also by factors such as its concentration, the duration of contact, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. These considerations are essential to ensure the durability and performance of the wheels or casters in challenging environments.
 

Step 7 – Additional Options and Requirements

Are you in need of locking mechanisms to control rolling or swiveling motions? Perhaps you require systems to lock or guide swivel movements?
 
Locking systems are essential for immobilizing casters during idle periods, preventing both rolling and swiveling motions.
 
Additionally, do you require brake systems?
 
Drum brakes utilize springs to maintain the braking state. Directional reset devices are employed to align swivel castors in specific orientations when unloaded.

4 Common Types of Sheet Metal

 

Galvannealed Steel Sheet Metal

 
Galvannealed sheet metal is a type of steel sheet coated with a zinc-iron alloy that enhances its corrosion resistance and paint adhesion properties. The process of galvannealing involves heating the steel sheet to a high temperature in a controlled atmosphere to promote alloying between the zinc coating and the steel substrate. This results in a uniform, matte grey finish that provides excellent surface for painting and other finishing processes.
 
Key characteristics of galvannealed sheet metal include:
 
  • Corrosion Resistance: The zinc-iron alloy coating provides better corrosion resistance compared to regular galvanized steel. This makes galvannealed sheet metal suitable for outdoor applications and environments where exposure to moisture and weathering is a concern.
  • Paint Adhesion: The matte finish and alloy structure of galvannealed steel promote excellent paint adhesion. Paint adheres tightly to the surface, reducing the risk of peeling or flaking over time. This makes it ideal for applications where painted surfaces need to maintain their appearance and durability.
  • Weldability: Galvannealed steel retains good weldability, similar to uncoated steel sheets. This allows for ease of fabrication and welding during manufacturing processes.
  • Formability: It exhibits good formability characteristics, allowing it to be shaped and formed into various complex shapes without cracking or flaking of the coating.
  • Surface Appearance: The surface of galvannealed sheet metal has a uniform, matte grey appearance due to the zinc-iron alloy coating. This finish is often preferred for applications where aesthetics are important and a uniform appearance is desired.
 
When to Use Galvannealed Sheet?
 
Galvannealed sheet metal is ideal for applications where the part will undergo painting and requires enhanced corrosion resistance. This type of sheet can be efficiently laser cut, punched, and formed, yielding excellent results in manufacturing processes.

Its surface finish facilitates superior adhesion and paint quality, making galvannealed material a preferred choice. Specifically designed for use in painted conditions, galvannealed sheets, when coated with appropriately selected primers and paints, offer exceptional resistance against peeling and blistering. Moreover, compared to conventional galvanized sheet metal, galvannealed sheets enhance the corrosion resistance of the applied paint. This combination makes galvannealed sheet metal highly suitable for industries requiring durable, aesthetically pleasing finishes that withstand environmental exposure and operational demands.
 

Hot Rolled Sheet Metal

 
Hot rolled sheets refer to steel sheets that are processed through a hot rolling method. This manufacturing process involves heating slabs of steel above their recrystallization temperature and then passing them through rollers to achieve the desired thickness and shape. Here are key characteristics and considerations regarding hot rolled sheets:
 
  • Production Process: Hot rolling begins with large steel slabs or billets that are heated above their recrystallization temperature, typically around 1100 to 1300 degrees Celsius (2000 to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit). The heated steel is then passed through a series of rollers to reduce its thickness and shape it into a sheet or coil.
  • Surface Finish: Hot rolled sheets have a rough, scaled surface texture due to the residual oxide layers formed during the rolling process. This surface texture is characteristic of hot rolled steel and may require further processing (such as pickling or cold rolling) for smoother finishes if needed.
  • Grain Structure: The hot rolling process alters the grain structure of the steel, aligning the grains in the direction of rolling. This can enhance the mechanical properties of the steel, including its strength and toughness.
  • Dimensional Tolerances: Hot rolled sheets are generally less precise in terms of thickness and dimension tolerances compared to cold rolled sheets. However, they are suitable for applications where exact dimensions are not critical or where subsequent processing can refine dimensions.
  • Applications: Hot rolled sheets are used in a wide range of applications across industries, including construction, automotive, shipbuilding, pipelines, and structural components. They are particularly favored in applications where strength and durability are important, and where surface finish requirements are less stringent.
  • Cost and Availability: Hot rolled sheets are typically more cost-effective than cold rolled sheets due to the simpler manufacturing process and lower production costs. They are widely available in various grades and thicknesses to meet diverse industrial needs.
 
When to Utilize Hot Rolled Steel?
 
Opt for hot rolled steel (HRS) when prioritizing cost over surface finish. It's advisable to punch hot rolled sheet metal instead of using a laser cutter, as the presence of mill scale can impact the cut quality. Hot rolled sheets are easily formable; however, when painted, any remaining mill scale or pits may be visible through the paint, leading to a textured finish.
 

Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (Hrpo) Sheet Metal

 
The Difference Between Hrpo and Hot Rolled Sheets
 
Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) Sheet is made from the same material as regular Hot Rolled Sheet, but it undergoes an additional process before being uncoiled, flattened, and cut to specific lengths. In the HRPO manufacturing process, the Hot Rolled material is uncoiled and passed through a pickling chemical bath, which removes all surface oxides. After pickling, the sheet is oiled to prevent rusting before being recoiled and further processed.
 
When is HRPO Used?
 
HRPO (Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled) sheet metal is suitable for applications where the product will be painted and primarily used indoors. It also serves as a cost-effective alternative to Galvannealed sheet metal. HRPO sheets can be laser cut, punched, and formed effectively, producing excellent results. The painted surface finish achieved with HRPO is typically very smooth and of high quality.
 
Cold Rolled Sheet Metal
 
Cold Rolled Sheet Metal (CRS) is preferred when seeking enhanced material strength combined with a smooth surface finish. Parts made from cold rolled sheet metal should be painted or protected promptly to prevent surface rust. Similar to HRPO sheets, cold rolled sheet metal can be laser cut, punched, and formed with excellent results. The surface finish of painted parts is usually very refined and consistent with CRS.

How RFID Transponders Work

How does RFID technology operate, and what features must transponders have to function effectively? This article explores these questions by examining the capabilities of RFID transponders and their role in identification. System integrators may find the insights provided here particularly useful for addressing the needs of their customers.
 
RFID technology utilizes transponders, commonly known as tags, which can also appear as cards. These transponders are embedded with unique ID numbers in their chip memory. 'Smart card' transponders offer additional memory beyond a simple ID number, allowing for the storage of more extensive data. This extra memory is often used in applications requiring security, such as payment systems, time or location specific access control, or other scenarios where substantial data storage is needed.

Some RFID readers have the capability to write data to transponders during transactions. This feature is useful in applications such as payment systems and tokens, where the transponders keep track of a limited number of authorized transactions. Each transaction decreases the remaining balance, which the reader then updates on the transponder.
 
RFID transponders are categorized into active and passive types, based on their communication methods with readers. All Idesco transponders are passive and do not have an internal power source. Active transponders, on the other hand, have a power source that strengthens the signal between the transponder and reader. Active transponders, used for applications like pallet and railroad car identification, can be read from distances of up to tens of meters. Passive transponders typically have a reading range from a few centimeters to fifteen meters. They are generally less expensive and have a longer lifespan compared to active transponders, whose lifespan is limited by their power source.
 
Passive transponders do not emit signals independently. Instead, they rely on a reader's interrogation via induction. These transponders only function when within close proximity to a reader. The reader then sends the data obtained from the transponder to the system for authentication. Advanced transponder technologies, such as MIFARE DESFire, use specific security keys for mutual authentication, ensuring that a transponder can only be read by a pre-programmed reader. 128-bit AES encryption protects DESFire transponders from copying or hacking.

The Advantages of Ultrasonic Surgical Scalpels

12770592277?profile=RESIZE_710x
 
In the realm of minimally invasive surgery, the ultrasonic surgical scalpel has emerged as a pivotal tool, revolutionizing how surgeons approach delicate procedures. Kangji Medical, a leading name in the design, development, manufacturing, and sale of minimally invasive surgical instruments, has been at the forefront of this innovation since its founding in 2004 in Hangzhou, China. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2020 (9997.HK), Kangji Medical offers a wide range of surgical solutions across various specialties, including obstetrics, gynecology, general surgery, urology, and thoracic surgery. This article delves into the advantages of ultrasonic scalpels and highlights how Kangji Medical's expertise aligns with these benefits.
 

Understanding Ultrasonic Surgical Scalpels

An ultrasonic surgical scalpel is a cutting-edge instrument that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to perform surgical procedures. The device converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations at an ultrasonic frequency, typically ranging from 20 kHz to 50 kHz. These vibrations are then transmitted to a blade or tip, which oscillates rapidly to cut through tissue and seal blood vessels simultaneously. This technology offers several distinct advantages over traditional surgical instruments.
 

Advantages of Ultrasonic Surgical Scalpels

1. Simultaneous Cutting and Sealing
One of the most significant benefits of the ultrasonic surgical scalpel is its ability to cut and seal tissue simultaneously. Traditional surgical methods often require separate instruments for cutting and hemostasis, leading to increased instrument traffic and longer procedure times. With an ultrasonic scalpel, surgeons can streamline their workflow by performing these two tasks with a single device. This dual functionality reduces the need for multiple instruments and minimizes the overall duration of the surgery, enhancing both efficiency and patient outcomes.
 

2. Reduced Smoke Generation

Ultrasonic scalpels are known for their low smoke generation compared to other cutting methods. The ultrasonic vibrations produce minimal smoke because the device operates at lower temperatures and reduces the amount of tissue vaporization. Smoke generation during surgery can obscure the surgical field and pose challenges for the surgical team, leading to interruptions and potential complications. By minimizing smoke, ultrasonic scalpels improve visibility and allow for more precise and controlled procedures.
 

3. Lower Temperature and Reduced Thermal Spread

The temperature generated by an ultrasonic scalpel typically ranges from 50°C to 300°C. This relatively low temperature minimizes the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues. Traditional cutting instruments, such as electrocautery devices, can generate much higher temperatures, leading to greater lateral thermal spread and potential damage to adjacent structures. The controlled temperature of an ultrasonic scalpel reduces the risk of unintended thermal injuries and ensures a more targeted approach to tissue cutting.
 

4. Less Charring and Improved Tissue Integrity

Ultrasonic scalpels are designed to produce less charring compared to conventional methods. Charring, or the burning of tissue, can negatively impact wound healing and increase the risk of post-surgical complications. The precision and reduced thermal effects of ultrasonic scalpels result in cleaner cuts with minimal tissue damage. This preservation of tissue integrity contributes to faster recovery times and improved overall outcomes for patients.
 

5. Enhanced Precision and Control

The high-frequency vibrations of an ultrasonic scalpel allow for precise and controlled cutting of tissue. Surgeons can achieve fine incisions with minimal effort, reducing the risk of accidental damage to nearby structures. This enhanced precision is particularly valuable in delicate procedures where accuracy is crucial. By offering greater control over the cutting process, ultrasonic scalpels help achieve optimal surgical results and enhance the safety of the patient.

When joining two metals in a soldering process, such as in PCB assembly, flux is essential to achieve a true metallurgical bond. This ensures that the solder joint remains durable and resistant to cracking or coming loose, even with everyday wear and tear. This article discusses the types of fluxes available, their advantages and disadvantages, and options for flux removal.

Flux aids in the soldering and desoldering processes by removing oxide films that form on the surface of metals being soldered. It enhances the wetting ability of the solder, allowing it to flow uniformly over surfaces without balling up (dewetting).

In electronic soldering, flux plays a crucial role by facilitating the process and ensuring reliable connections between components. Soldering involves joining metal surfaces using a molten alloy known as solder. However, impurities, oxides, and contaminants present during soldering can impede the formation of a strong bond. Flux addresses these issues by cleaning the metal surfaces, enabling a strong and reliable metallurgical connection.
 

What Is Flux & How Does It Work?

 
Flux is a chemical compound that prepares metal surfaces for soldering by removing oxides, promoting wetting, and enhancing solder flow. It is available in various forms, including paste, liquid, or as a core within solder wire. The active ingredients in flux, such as rosin or organic acids, react with oxides on the metal surface.
 
When heated, flux activates and removes oxides, preventing them from interfering with the soldering process. It also promotes wetting, the ability of molten solder to spread and adhere to metal surfaces. By reducing the surface tension of the solder, flux ensures it flows smoothly and evenly, creating strong and reliable solder joints.
 
Moreover, flux prevents the reformation of oxides during soldering by creating a protective barrier on the metal surfaces. This barrier shields the freshly cleaned metal from the atmosphere, preventing rapid oxidation and ensuring a clean, reliable solder joint.
 

Types of Fluxes

 
Various types of flux are available for different soldering applications. Some fluxes are formulated for specific metals, like copper, while others are suitable for a broad range of uses. Additionally, fluxes come with different activity levels, ranging from mild to highly active, depending on the degree of oxidation or contaminants present on the metal surfaces.

IPC J Standard Flux Classification

The IPC J Standard (Joint Industry Standard) flux classification system has replaced the military's soldering standards previously defined under QQ-S-571 and MIL-F-14256. Fluxes are categorized as RO (rosin), OR (organic), IN (inorganic), and RE (resin/synthetic resin). The activity level of the flux solution is rated as L (low activity or <0.5% halide), M (medium activity or 0 to 2% halide), and H (high activity or 0 to >2% halide). Fluxes are classified based on halide (Cl- or Br-) content as either 0 (no halides) or 1 (some halides). For instance, an ROL0 flux would be a rosin flux with low activity and zero halides. An RMA flux could be classified as an ROM1 if it contained 0.5 to 2.0% halide content under this classification scheme.
 
Rosin (type R) Flux

The most fundamental soldering flux, employed for centuries, is natural rosin derived from pine tar resin. Pine tar resin undergoes dissolution in a solvent and subsequent distillation to produce clear, water-white rosin utilized in soldering flux. Rosin comprises naturally occurring acids, primarily abietic acid and its homologs. In soldering flux, clear rosin is dissolved in a solvent, typically isopropyl alcohol, without the addition of acid activators, classifying it as type R rosin flux.

To enhance the flux's ability to dissolve heavier oxide films, especially those formed at the elevated temperatures needed for lead-free solder alloys, activators are incorporated into soldering flux. Activated fluxes can be mildly activated, labeled as RMA (rosin - mildly activated), or fully activated, denoted as RA (rosin -activated). Commonly used activators include organic acids, halogenated compounds (containing chlorine or bromine), amides, and monobasic and dibasic organic salts. These activators are corrosive and must be removed from the circuit board to ensure long-term reliability.

Activated and mildly activated rosin fluxes may leave behind chloride ions and other corrosive residues, necessitating their removal from the printed circuit board post-soldering or desoldering to prevent long-term corrosion-related failures. Residues from these fluxes can also be tacky, attracting dust containing conductive elements that could lead to shorts and other electrical failures on the board. With the increasing prevalence of lead-free solder alloys in manufacturing, the use of highly activated fluxes to counteract oxidation film formation at higher soldering temperatures will likely rise. Consequently, thorough cleaning after soldering or desoldering with lead-free alloys will become imperative.
 
No-Clean Flux

No-clean fluxes can be formulated with either natural rosin or synthetic resins. Rosin-based no-clean flux solutions are similar to rosin (R Type) fluxes but typically contain natural gum rosin at a lower concentration than R Type (R, RMA, and RA) flux solutions. True synthetic no-clean fluxes utilize synthetic resins that offer the same desirable properties as natural rosin. Additionally, no-clean flux solutions may include extra activators, and the residues they leave behind can lead to corrosion.
 
Designed to enable circuit board manufacturers to avoid the time and cost of post-soldering cleaning, no-clean fluxes leave significantly less residue compared to conventional R type fluxes. This reduced residue amount usually does not interfere with board operation or cause long-term corrosion-related failures.
 
However, residues from no-clean fluxes may be adhesive and attract dust, affecting the appearance of the circuit board. Therefore, cleaning may be necessary to meet appearance or operational standards. If the circuit board is to be conformal coated for circuitry protection during operation, the board surface must be free of flux residues, even minimal residues left by no-clean flux, to ensure proper adhesion of the conformal coating.
 
Moreover, the increased need for activated (corrosive) flux when soldering with lead-free alloys may necessitate flux residue removal, potentially diminishing the advantages of using no-clean fluxes.
 
Water Soluble (Aqueous) Flux
 
Water-soluble fluxes typically utilize water-soluble resins, and their residues require removal through a water rinse. Some water-soluble fluxes are formulated as water-based solutions, eliminating the need for alcohol-based flux solutions. This presents an opportunity to reduce VOC emissions, particularly for board manufacturers operating under strict environmental regulations. Acid activators commonly found in water-soluble fluxes include organic acids, halogenated compounds (containing chlorine or bromine), amides, and monobasic and dibasic organic salts. All these activators are corrosive and should be eliminated from the circuit board to ensure long-term reliability.
 

Flux Formats & Packaging Options

 
Various soldering flux formats are available, including liquid flux, tacky flux, flux core, and flux in solder paste, each offering unique advantages suitable for different soldering applications. The choice of flux format depends on factors such as soldering type, joint accessibility, preferred application method, and specific process requirements.
 
Liquid flux, commonly thinned with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), is a prevalent form of soldering flux. Packaged in bottles, syringes, or pens for easy application, liquid flux is applied to solder joints or components before soldering. It cleans surfaces, enhances solder flow, and improves joint quality, making it essential for wave soldering in electronics manufacturing. Before wave soldering, liquid flux is selectively applied using spray, foam, or a flux applicator to ensure precise and controlled coverage.
 
Tacky flux, also known as sticky flux, possesses a thicker consistency than liquid flux, with a sticky or gel-like texture that prevents running or dripping. It adheres well to surfaces during soldering, making it suitable for vertical or overhead joints where flux retention is crucial.
 
Flux core solder features a hollow core filled with flux, combining solder and flux into a single product. As the solder wire melts during soldering, the flux cleans surfaces and aids soldering, offering convenience and efficiency.
 
Flux in solder paste consists of solder alloy particles and flux in a semi-solid or paste form. Widely used in surface mount technology (SMT) applications, solder paste cleans solder pads and components, promotes solder wetting, and holds solder in place before reflow soldering.
 
Flux plays a vital role in electronic soldering by removing oxides, promoting wetting, enhancing solder flow, and preventing re-oxidation. These functions collectively contribute to the creation of strong and reliable solder joints. Selecting the right flux for each soldering task ensures effective joining of electronic components, resulting in optimal electrical and mechanical connections.

Understanding Oxygen Concentrators

An oxygen concentrator is a medical device designed to deliver concentrated oxygen to patients who require supplemental oxygen. Unlike traditional oxygen sources such as compressed or liquid oxygen tanks, which need to be regularly replaced or refilled, an oxygen concentrator continuously extracts and purifies atmospheric air to deliver oxygen at a concentration of 90% to 95%. This self-sustaining process provides a reliable and convenient source of oxygen for users.
 

How Oxygen Concentrators Work

Oxygen concentrators operate by filtering and concentrating the oxygen from the air around us. The device draws in ambient air, which is then passed through a series of filters and molecular sieves. These sieves separate nitrogen from oxygen, concentrating the oxygen to a high purity level. The purified oxygen is then delivered to the patient through a nasal cannula or mask. This process ensures a continuous supply of high-quality oxygen without the need for frequent refills or replacements.
