Rochester, NY and Bromont (Quebec), Canada -- Hover-Davis will offer Cogiscan RFID hardware and software applications compatible with its range of component feeders, including tape feeders, label feeders, and Direct Die feeders.
By combining the Cogiscan Smart Material Control technology with its component feeders, Hover-Davis will be able to provide a one-stop shop for Intelligent Feeding Solutions.
Features of intelligent feeders include:
Identify and track components and feeders with barcode and RFID
Provide real-time visibility of all materials on the shop floor
Reduce waste of time and materials
Eliminate human errors and improve productivity
Generate complete component traceability reports
Standardize data acquisition across multi-vendor lines
Enable communication between feeders, machines and systems

CAT 35 ILDS (Integrated Liquid Delivery System) dual-mode spray head is an alternative to conventional air-atomizing, film coating and dispensing technologies.
Consists of an ultrasonic transducer with a titanium spray forming head and integrated liquid and air applicators. Has two modes: narrow (5 mm pattern width) and wide (3 to 25 mm pattern width). Applies a thin, defect-free coating 0.5 to 5 mils in thickness, said to provide excellent uniformity.
Nozzle-free spray head works with urethanes, acrylics, water-based, solvent-based and 100% solids UV curable conformal coatings and is compatible with all Prism Systems.

New software for In-Sight vision sensors reportedly improves workflow, eases integration and speeds deployment of vision sensors on the factory floor:
In-Sight Explorer 3.1 features a Windows XP look and feel, and supports the use of industry-standard OPC communication tags.
In-Sight OPC Server makes it easy to exchange data with other OPC programs and systems including PLCs, distributed control systems (DCS) and distributed I/O networks.
In-Sight ActiveX Display Control allows users to integrate In-Sight images and display graphics into third-party HMI and SCADA packages.
Trial software is available at http://www.cognex.com/insight.

Christopher Associates will introduce two automatic optical inspection systems, as well as a laser robotic soldering system, at booth 6102 during Assembly Technology Expo in Rosemont, IL. This will be the North American introduction of all three products.
NSpec DL 18 is the latest addition to the Marantz (Tokyo, Japan) AOI product line. Offers high speed first article inspection, advanced illumination and very high resolution optics, can even inspect 01005 components at very high speeds.
KY 3020T bench top, 3-D solder paste inspection system from Koh Young Technology (Seoul, Korea) offers the accuracy and speed of the standard inline systems for high mix/low volume applications.
Model 414L laser robotic soldering system from Japan Unix Co. Ltd. was developed for lead-free processing with reduced cost of ownership.

KIC will display Wave Surfer, a new wave application fixture, in booth 5511 at AT Expo.
The self-contained measurement system for wave solder machines provides critical data on wave solder machine setup and its process. Has five embedded thermocouples, works in conjunction with SlimKIC 2000 for profiling and setup.
Made of a material similar to typical wave solder pallets, can withstand thousands of passes. The fixture holds the SlimKIC in place during each run to measure the pertinent process data in the wave solder machine including peak temperature, dwell time, parallelism and conveyor speed.

KIC’s new profiler kit will be highlighted in booth 5511 at the upcoming AT Expo in Rosemont, IL.
The kit includes: SlimKIC 2000 profiler with 9 or 12 thermocouple (TC) inputs, Auto-Focus oven recipe search engine, metal shield, TCs rated to 400°C and aluminum tape. The kit enables manufacturers to set up and manage their lead-free thermal processes.
The new metal thermal shield offers better thermal protection while keeping the slim physical dimension of the “cool touch” shield. Some manufacturers process their parts in an inert atmosphere, requiring a tighter tunnel height. A low height thermal shield becomes imperative for such applications. Auto-Focus automatically recommends the appropriate oven recipe for any lead-free application before even running a profile. It also enables quick oven setup and allows manufacturers to optimize their thermal process along three dimensions: center of the process window for the most stable process; fastest throughput; and quickest oven changeover.
