Opaque black polyimide tapes come in ESD-safe and halogen-free flame retardant options. Single- and double-coated tapes are designed for masking and bonding applications involving light-sensitive devices that need to withstand high temperatures and harsh environments typical of PCB manufacturing. Constructions are available with 0.5, 1 and 2 mil polyimide films, acrylic and silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives and semi- and matte-gloss levels. Custom 0.5 mil matte black polyimide is also available. Are REACH and RoHS compliant; offer high dielectric strengths for electrical insulation and surface resistances of >10^4 Ohms. Provide thermal protection up to 300°C and peel voltage of <100V.

Integrator Software v. 5.4 is for the Flying Probe FLS series. Features a power-up box design and better integration of different power sources. Precision Relay Test Template and Relay Timing Template reportedly provide more complete functional testing of relays. Templates verify the relays’ functional performance in two areas: delayed contact closure and closed contact resistance. The no-fly zone operation can be used during initial fiducial setup and execution of board find. Shuttles do not move back to home positions when orbiting around no fly zones; they move to ready positions just outside the board area. Has a probe tip model that helps prevent damaging probe tips against parts and eliminates crossed tips at landing positions. PBA2 Import now can generate tests and populate four types of voltage templates using VOLT class in XMatic.

Software release SI 7.46 reduces AOI inspection times through improved optimization of travel paths. Integrates Library Manager to assign new inspection patterns more quickly and easily, easing use of local and global inspection libraries. Can be used in parallel with library toolbox.
Integrates SPI Closed Loop (Downlink) so that currently measured displacement values of the SPI inspection can be returned to the paste printer as offset correction values.
Enables detailed appraisal of recognized defects in parallel with defect verification on S2088-II AOI, with live capture of defect image viewable under different camera perspectives — orthogonal and angled — and in color.
