Tigress Automated Wet Bench
As one of JST’s industry leading automated wet benches, the Tigress provides advanced automation in a compact footprint at a competitive price. Its unique design isolates the automation from the process area for ultraclean results. This compact wet bench saves on facility cost by reducing floor space and lowering the exhaust requirements providing a lower cost of ownership.
The Tigress supports semi-automated operation with optional Dry to Dry processing using JST’s Marangoni or STG Combo Rinse Dryer. As with all JST wet benches, they are designed for ease of maintenance activities and comes with our standard 24/7 Technical Support.
