B-UV automated conformal coating inspection system uses UV lighting and proprietary inspection algorithms. Inspects coverage, selected areas of non-coverage, delamination, cracks and bubbles.
No programming required for setup. Uses a known good board to learn coverage and non-coverage areas. Inspection typically takes a few seconds, with inspection results immediately displayed. Results can be stored and reviewed offline. Reads all common barcodes for product traceability. Optional inspection software upgrade for component presence and location. YesTech, www.yestechinc.com
GreenData Manager PC software manages environmental compliance data and documentation. Collects and manages RoHS compliance status and supplier certificates, material composition substance data, MSL and peak temperature data for Pb-free manufacturing, Sn-whisker mitigation strategies, etc. Will validate compliance information against EU RoHS, China RoHS, Korea RoHS, Halogen-Free, and Norwegian PoHS; report compliance status on all parts or BoMs; provide validation on the required material composition substances for each component and aggregate the status to products or BoMs; determine if test reports or certificates need to be recollected. A 30-day free trial can be downloaded at www.greensofttech.com.
