PELASPAN-PAC Anti-Static provides cushioning for a range of electronic parts and components to protect them from static discharge during shipment. The pink, s-shaped polystyrene material is free-flowing, cutting packaging time. Weighs 5 pounds per cubic foot - 15% lighter than comparable varieties of packing peanuts. Reusable, recyclable and part of a nationwide reuse program to lessen the loose-fill sent to landfills each year.
Available from 20 facilities nationwide.
FLX2010 SMD pick-and-place has 190 feeders, allowing feeder changeover during operation with nearly no downtime. Can place 5,000 components per hour.
Precision drive technology places 0201 or ultra-fine pitch 0.3 mm components, as well as condensators up to 15 mm, large connectors and 50-mm BGAs. Features both laser and vision centering systems for speed and accuracy.
Feeder management system automatically recognizes feeders and pickup height. LEDs show the feeder status. Feeder setup control system based on barcode identification excludes the risk of setup failure.
Machine programming can be prepared offline. CAD data can be imported; the board is graphically displayed before production.
Optional software system features stock management, production planning, simulation and data recording for traceability.
Can be expanded to a two- or three-module production line for more feeder capacity (up to 300 feeders) and production speed (up to 15,000 cph).
Using Laser-Microjet technology, the LS 800F cuts from 1 to 10 holes per second (or 36,000 apertures per hour), reportedly without any heat damage, burrs or oxidation.
Uses a fiber laser source uniquely suited for thin, high precision stencils and masks.
Fiber lasers have high pulse-to-pulse stability, are compact, ensure efficiency, are robust, have low consumption of electrical power and are maintenance-free. They do not necessitate any alignment, cleaning or servicing of optical parts. Does not require any lamp or diode exchanges. Diode lifetime surpasses 100,000 hours.
The fiber lasers emit pulses at a repetition rate between 20 and 50 kHz, with a pulse duration measured in nanoseconds. Said to offer a fine cut, higher cutting speed and a higher accuracy than conventional laser sources. 100um fiber core diameter enables users to apply water jets below 30 um.
