The Q18 data loggers feature 6 or 10 channels and are said to be capable of 18,000 readings per
channel. Have a low height configuration, perform rapid sampling, and feature a narrow footprint for ease of profiling.
The PCT-100 Pre-heater Convection Tool is said to enhance process control during Pb-free hand assembly and rework. Uses convection air heating to maximize responsiveness and avoid temperature overshoot. Can be used with or without a board holder to perform hand assembly or rework tasks on surface mount or through-hole assemblies. Can be used with conventional SnPb and Pb-free solders. The unit reportedly ramps quickly to desired temperature, following a controlled slope to eliminate thermal shock to the board and components. The 10cfm fan fitted to the unit enhances heating and cooling. Has been designed for production environments worldwide, meeting international standards for ESD safety and maximum casing temperature.
ONYX25XLT features a radiant IR preheater, 32" x 24", with six independent zones and 15,000 W of heating power. Also features a moveable solder head; four motorized axes and a precision force measurement system; Visual Machines software; site cleaning with automatic tip height adjustments; and Multiple Field of View (MFOV) vision system with motorized zoom, reportedly providing full viewing of smaller components and corner viewing of components up to 70mm.
The EEDP Series high data rate cable assembly provides a cable system for edge card interfaces with a choice of mounting and rugged latching options. Uses 30 AWG twinax micro ribbon cable, with cable lengths up to one meter standard. Custom lengths are available up to 1.8 m. Reportedly offers low skew and superior EMI performance in differential pair applications. Is available with 8, 16, 24, and 32 pairs. Comes with a choice of captive panel screws or PosiLock squeeze latches. Mating connectors may be oriented on the boards vertically or edge-mounted. Right-angle surface mount connectors are also available.
The Label Master now has a second-sided placement option available with the station. Is an inline, print-on-demand label “pick and place” station that can selectively place a variety of labels onto PCBs. Said to accurately place labels ranging from 7 mm x 7 mm to 40 mm x 40 mm, through the use of an X/Y gantry and programmable Z height. The system includes a 600 dpi Zebra printer and an internal buffer conveyor. Places labels on both sides with a single pass.
The APR-5000-XLS Array Package Rework System is said to meet Pb-free process windows. Optimized heating for Pb-free BGA rework permits reflow without incurring excessive lid temperatures, re-melting soldered joints outside the rework area, PCB warping or distorting plastic bodies of connectors such as RJ45s.
