The Analyst fcs ICT directly accommodates bed-of-nails test fixtures built for Agilent 3X7X-series in-circuit test systems. A fully-equipped, four-module Analyst fcs costs about $150,000.
Allows users to use existing Agilent fixtures directly. Boards not requiring digital vector test are tested on their original fixtures using the Analyst tester, which has built-in "headroom" for power-on test, boundary scan, and ISP device programming. The tester accepts 1-, 2- and 4-module 3070-style bed-of-nails test fixtures. The system can be equipped with up to 5184 points and supports available Agilent Device Under Test power supplies.
DES PLAINES, IL – PCB Libraries Inc.
has released a free IPC-7351 land pattern calculator that reportedly
generates results that match the LP Viewer library
documentation.
The calculator is a scaled down version of
the LP Wizard. It calculates CAD library parts that comply with the
latest IPC-7351 revision. It relies on the data underlying the IPC
standard, which includes fabrication, assembly and component
tolerance-based mathematical algorithms.
IPC-7351 uses
calculations that represent a change in the way land patterns are
defined, developed and categorized. It is published by IPC, Association
Connecting Electronics Industries.
“We’re pleased to be
working with IPC in a unified effort to provide PCB designers worldwide
with access to our IPC-7351 CAD libraries and LP Software tools," said
Tom Hausherr, CEO and director of technology at PCB Libraries.
The SM321 pick-and-place machine is said to assemble up to 21,000 cph at ±50 µm accuracy, based on IPC-9850. It places QFPs and BGAs at speeds up to 5,500 cph at ±30 µm accuracy. Handles boards up to 20 x 24" at production speed. Comes with high-resolution flying vision system and enhanced board handling capabilities.
Has a low mass head mechanism with high speed motor to deliver a stable motion platform for consistent, on-target placements. The board transport system features an enhanced drive system with a flat handling system to safely move large PCBs and thin, flexible substrates.
Is configured for Samsung SM Series slim format tape feeder system; handles EIA-481 tape sizes, and holds a maximum of 120 8-mm feeders. Tape feeder monitors inventory on the supply reel and notifies before replenishment is needed. A one-touch clamping feature permits users to replace tape feeders during operations, while the system's endless-discharge method for non-stop operation provides efficiency, reliability and repeatability of component pickups. Performs complete lot tracking and inventory management, and automatically optimizes placement sequence.
