The X3 3-D x-ray system inspects PCBs with BGAs and other hidden solder joints. Gathers multiple oblique images to construct a rendering used in identifying solder and component-related defects on both single and double-sided boards. Selectively uses 2-D or 3-D to inspect specific regions. Permits discrimination between top and bottom sides of boards. A typical inspection program is said to be created in fewer than 45 min. Reportedly is suited for inline or offline applications. Has remote programming and real-time SPC software.
Slic Blade line squeegee blades are said to form a surface with low surface energy. Provide 100% electroformed nickel. Solid electroformed nickel reportedly will not chip or flake. Are said to provide lowest wiping pressure and longest blade life; enhanced stencil life and the least stencil damage. Eliminate solder paste sticking and shearing against the blade.
ElectroLaser stencils
offer the precision of laser-cut apertures and
paste release properties of 100% electroformed nickel. Do not contain the trace elements that are liberated to the
aperture walls, causing increased surface roughness. Offer the natural
lubricity of electroformed nickel, which improves fine-pitch print consistency. Have a thickness tolerance of ±8% of material thickness selected, and
are suitable for applications with surface area ratios to 0.55. Feature
positional accuracy of ±0.008% and an aperture dimensional tolerance
of ±8 µm (0.0003"). Come in standard material thicknesses of 0.003, 0.004, 0.005 and 0.006". Additional thicknesses available upon request.
