YTV F1-Series AOI system offers high-volume manufacturing environment enhancements that reportedly deliver automated PCB inspection and reduced costs, improved quality and increased throughput. Faster and more intuitive, off-line programming maximizes machine utilization with real-time SPC monitoring that is easily configurable and portable across multiple manufacturing lines.
YESPC software provides diagnostic and trending analysis of the manufacturing process. By providing real-time monitoring and reporting of SMT production processes, management can immediately react to critical process events. Fully compatible with every YESTech AOI and YTX-5000 combined x-ray/vision system.
Both the system and software were on display this week during Nepcon East.

Series 582 Vertical Flow Hardwall Modular Cleanrooms are prefabricated and easy-to-assemble. Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, materials of construction and classifications. Comply with Class 100,000 to Class 10 operating conditions.
Modular wall panels fasten together to form a shell and a NEST-TIGHT grid system attaches to the shell to create the internal clean room ceiling. The ceiling grid features interconnecting tee bars that provide strength to support filters, light fixtures and panels to comprise the clean room ceiling. Uses a HEPA-N-SEAL negative pressure safety seal to ensure that no air leaks through the ceiling grid into the clean room.
The components are light enough for anyone to lift and assemble using internally mounted rotary clamps and fasteners. Parts are interchangeable and easy to maneuver.

Zuken and UK-based Quadra Solutions have launched starturn, a part list management add-on tool for CADSTAR.
starturn offers four core areas of functionality to enhance post-design documentation within the desktop PCB design environment. This includes advanced export functionality for BOMs, enhanced drill drawing exports and report generation, assembly drawing creation and a new "where used" search capability. This tool allows designers to compile design-derived manufacturing and purchasing reports in minutes rather than hours.
BOMs can be exported into various file formats, including html, Microsoft Excel and XML, and for a fully tailored output, users can specify which design fields should be included.
Drill drawing functionality is more extensive in this tool. It will generate drill tables within the PCB design, eliminating the need to cut and paste from drill reports. Mark-up of drill holes can also be carried out various ways within the design.
Has improved assembly drawing generation. Circuit references, for example, can be sited in multiple places within the design, through the association of attributes. Searching for parts within the parts library is also more expansive, with functionality that allows a user to select any part and search within any file directory. This is useful when managing parts obsolescence.

XJIO expansion board improves test coverage and fault diagnosis on complex printed
circuits, checks power rail levels and can eliminate custom test jigs.
The board improves the test coverage for a Unit Under Test (UUT) by verifying the signals through to the external connections. In the event of a board failure, fault diagnosis times can be reduced by as much as half, as the board eradicates the need for loopbacks and cable swapping.
Has 208 digital and 16 analogue (8xADCs and 8xDACs) I/Os, provides customers developing JTAG and non-JTAG boards with a reusable alternative to traditional test fixtures.
“The XJIO board was developed predominantly for testing circuits with large amounts of digital I/O such as on network cards - particularly if the board has more outputs than inputs or vice-versa,” said Dominic Plunkett, CTO. “It features over 200 digital I/Os and this density can be expanded to many thousands by daisy-chaining the XJIO boards together using the reconfigurable external JTAG connector.”
Can be powered from USB, for quick and portable test setup. If more than 80mA of current is required, there is a connector for a standard 12V power supply. All connectors are standard IDC. Switches and LEDs enable additional test control.

Tyco Electronics’ Global Application Tooling Division (GATD) designed a customized RFID inlay assembly system for Graphic Solutions International (GSI). The equipment will assemble semiconductor chips, surface-mount devices and printed batteries onto a continuous web of printed antennas, adding RFID capability to tags and labels.
Working closely with GSI to meet their specifications, Tyco provided a reel-to-reel system that allows GSI to mount flip-chips, SMDs and printed batteries onto printed antennas and conductive traces. The system is capable of the high-speed mounting of electronic components on a 6,000'+ roll of 20" wide material. After conductive printing, the roll is fed into the machine where components are added along with one or two printed batteries. Upon completion, the roll can be slit into individual streams and rolled, or supplied in production web width rolls for delivery. A typical circuit is inlaid with batteries, an RFID chip, and a printed antenna. The speed of this machine allows for production levels up to 26 million inlays per year.
The line can accommodate printed substrates from 0.002" (50 mm) to 0.005" (125 mm) thick, mount on continuous rolls with a repeat pitch of 0.8" (20 mm) and position chips to micron accuracy.
