Their extensive product knowledge and strategic customer relationships have made them a key supplier and long-term partner to companies down the east coast. The key to their long-term success is their service and support of each product sold.

Magnifying lamps have been a staple in factories, labs, and on individual work benches for years – remaining largely unchanged in functionality. And while innovations in stereo zoom microscopes have made cameras a common feature, the Magnifying Lamp has been overlooked… Until now.

Aven’s new Mighty Vue Inspector is a magnifying lamp and camera inspection system in one self- contained unit – allowing you to view the image directly on an HDMI monitor, capture and store images on the included microSD Card, and even connect to your PC for viewing or relocating saved images, and additional software features.

The Mighty Vue Inspector connects to HD monitors via HDMI cable or to a PC via USB. It is ideal for sharing images on a screen and finding defects in quality control. Additionally, the ESD safe magnifying lamp dissipates electrostatic discharge.

As a result of years of comprehensive research and development, Aven has expanded its expertise in the realm of design and customized configuration of advanced video inspection systems. The company’s solution-based experts possess the ability to recommend and create complete optical systems according to customers’ needs and budgets.

Aven also provides a variety of ancillary services such as product assembly, custom parts and tooling, and distribution, all of which are coordinated from its Michigan headquarters. For more information, call (734) 973-0099 or email sales@aventools.com.

OLDHAM, UK — Selective soldering has evolved to become an integral method used to in today’s electronics manufacturing processes. However, as SMT assemblies become more complex with many components and connectors, precision can be difficult to achieve. Furthermore, many of the machines use complex nozzle configurations and additional soldering and pre-heat stages to control assembly more efficiently. This makes managing profiles a challenge.

As technology leaders in the design and development of temperature profiling equipment, Solderstar has developed a solution to the problem, the SLX range of intelligent selective fixtures. The innovative zero set-up thermal profiler will be presented to visitors at IPC APEX Expo 2023, booth 2010 in San Diego, California, from January 24–26, 2023.

Mark Stansfield, CEO at Solderstar, said: “Prior to the Solderstar Multistage Selective, complete machine analysis was only possible at each individual stage of the oven. It is now commonplace for systems to have three or more individual soldering stages. To quickly capture profile data more efficiently, we designed the Solderstar SLX range of intelligent selective set-up fixtures.

“The solution utilizes additional signals from the selective machine, combined with the multiple memory capability of the SLX dataloggers. This allows all selective stages to be captured with a single pass. As each selective stage is completed, a signal is sent to the Solderstar unit which automates the storage of data and prepares automatically for capture of the next stage, which is a huge time saver.”

The datalogger has the capability to electronically record all parameters, including, temperature profile, nozzle fountain height, X/Y speed, contact time and electronic flux positioning at four points. This new feature can be retro-fitted to existing fixtures which utilize a SLX datalogger unit, or integrated with most mini-wave selective soldering machines.

Mark concluded: “The new SLX range of fixtures automatically configure for the data-capture, allowing error free process information to be gathered every time without the need for test set-up, mobile computers or phones. This makes it flexible, consistent and reliable, ensuring that data capture is quick and easy to monitor.”

To view the advanced SLX system with the Multi-Stage Selective unit, visit the Solderstar experts at booth 2010 at IPC APEX Expo 2023, San Diego, California, from January 24–26, 2023.
