This Hi Output Line includes a 4-head pick-and-place and an inline automatic stencil printer, an 8-zone reflow oven and pass-through conveyor. Reportedly has 10,500 cph placement speed. Pick-and-place features Cognex flying vision-controlled MC683 conveyorized dual gantry system; two heads pick as the other two simultaneously place with reported accuracy of ±0.01 mm. Included is an offline loadable plug-and play modular smart feeder trolley. Is said to have registration accuracy of ±0.025 mm. Automatic stencil cleaner built in. CR8000 reflow oven has eight independent upper and lower heat zones and PID temperature control to 300ºC. Boards travel on an edge-pin conveyor adjustable to 450 mm width.
The 2008 Aerospace/Defense Symposium papers are now available free on CD. The fifteen technical papers reflect two tracks: test system development and military communications test. Also included is information on wideband vector analyzer calibration issues and time interval analysis measurements for radar.
The DispenseJet DJ-9500 fluid jetting valve is for high-speed underfill applications and jetting silicone for LEDs. Has a flexible pneumatic design. Reportedly can jet a wide variety of fluids up to 10 times faster than existing needle type dispensers. Controls fluid break-off at the nozzle tip. The needle assembly is said to last 5 to 10 times longer than other tested assemblies. Enhanced temperature controls maintain the fluid at a consistent viscosity.
