HawkEye inspection and RTC (Rapid Transit Conveyor) technologies now provide 100% board verification at a cycle time of 4 sec.
HawkEye isolates faults through rapid good/bad verification instead of performing data-rich inspection during high-speed manufacturing. Can verify 100% of printed boards within the line beat rate by analyzing streamed images instead of successive still images. To quickly isolate bad boards, the system records pass/fail per board against preset thresholds instead of capturing quantitative data.
The speed at which boards can be delivered and removed from the printing phase is increased through RTC’s board handling technology. Instead of the traditional, slow, belt-type transport that relies on friction to move the board, RTC grips the board, adapts to its dimensions and transports it into printing position.
PRO 1S and PRO 1Sm are single nozzle selective soldering stations that incorporate a variety of technologies to solder individual or groups of components. The nozzle is surrounded by a nitrogen blanket to enhance soldering.
The 30 lb. solder pot is Pb-free compliant and comes with a solder replenishment system and automatic spray fluxer system. PCBs or pallets enter the work cell on a precision in-line conveyor system. Programs may be set up through a data management system or overhead laser pointer. Once the X/Y parameters are established, the z motion maneuvers around bottom-side components.
BEST Inc. has launched online BGA rework and repair services. Through its on online shopping marketplace, the company now offers BGA services including initial placement, removal and replacement of BGAs, and x-ray imaging. Customers can have a variety of BGA rework services performed on small fast turn quantities. Up to five BGAs per order can be placed or removed and replaced. Users can choose either a SnPb or Pb-free BGA rework process. Each removal and replacement comes with visual, endoscopic and x-ray inspection services. Customers are sent images of their x-rays as part of the normal process flow. These services will be performed in less than five business days.
