535-10M-1 UV cured adhesive is a low stress, lower glass transition temperature (Tg) version of 535-10M. Is nonconductive, and cures rapidly when exposed to high-intensity UV light. Features low outgassing. Contains no antimony. Is said to eliminate “crowning” (warpage) of sliders in head gimbal assemblies and can be used in other bonding applications in the head stack assembly. Can be used for lens bonding in camera modules, chip encapsulation in smart cards and a variety of general bonding applications in photonics assembly.

PowerWave N2 reduces nitrogen and energy consumption. Is equipped with a closed, insulated, stainless steel tunnel system. Has hinged heat-resistant glass covers. Features fluxer unit that reduces flux consumption; has low maintenance requirements. Spray fluxer with HVLP technology reportedly ensures a stable spray jet and precise spray pattern, even at outer edges of the printed circuit board. Processed alcohol- and water-based fluxes. Flexible preheating zone configuration has active length of 1800mm; can be customized to specific production needs. May be equipped with infrared heating zones, immediately reacting quartz emitters, or convection heating modules. IR preheat zones ensure even heating of entire assembly; quartz heaters make for quick heat transfer and compensate temperature differences.

X5 profiler suggests new oven setup. Ships standard with process optimization software to improve process: to position profile in the center of the process window; maximize conveyor speed, and reduce oven’s electricity use, while running a deep in-spec process. Process optimization software verifies millions of alternative oven setups and automatically selects the most optimum recipe within a few seconds. Displays static “snapshot” of the process every time a new profile is run. Comes standard with a basic SPC package. Profile data are added to an SPC chart, which includes Cpk numbers. Hardware is designed to endure thousands of extreme thermal cycles, sometimes in ovens with voltage spikes on the conveyor, and frequently in harsh environments with rough handling. Has a full two-year warranty.
