A wide range of compact four-, five- and six-axis robots handle payloads up to 20 kg, with reaches from 350 to 1,300 mm. Repeatability is within ±0.015 mm. Standard, cleanroom and dust- and mistproof (IP65) models are available. Easy-to-use programming software, controllers and teaching pendants are also offered. DENSO Robotics AT Expo, booth 311
Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) has confirmed that their equipment lines meet the requirements of the EU’s Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances directive 2002/95/EC, which goes into effect tomorrow.
SCS designs and manufactures the following: Conformal coating spray and dispense systems Spin and dip coating systems UV and thermal cure ovens Ionic contamination test systems Parylene deposition systems
The RoHS directive stipulates that all new electronics products and equipment sold in Europe after July 1 must be free of certain hazardous materials, including lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium. Other countries, including China and Japan, and individual states within the U.S. are also developing similar directives.
STATSHIELD Metal-In green ESD shielding bags provide easy identification of Pb-free assemblies and components in the manufacturing process. Are appropriate ESD packaging for lead-free products.
Have integral antistatic, low-tribocharging properties and are printed with ESD protective symbol, RoHS compliant Pb-free symbol, manufacturer name and date/lot code for traceability. Meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 and MIL-PRF-81705D Type III.
Bag film thickness is 3.1mil. The buried metal layer is not susceptible to scratching. 40% light transmission allows identification of bag contents. 3/8” wide seals offer interior sealing layer. Polycarbonate compatible. Contains no amines or N-octanic acid. 12 stock bag sizes are available from 4x6” to 18x24”. Custom sizes and custom printing are available.
NEA announces solid titanium retrofit kits for a variety of wave solder systems. The titanium upgrades help in Pb-free environments, as titanium withstands the corrosive effects of high tin content in Pb-free solder. Available for a variety of wave solder system components, including nozzles, chimneys, impellers, shafts and solder pots.
According to the company, solid titanium components have proven to be superior to coated components. Because coatings can be removed or scratched, components run the risk of being exposed to corrosive Pb-free solder, thereby reducing their productive life. Solid titanium components are reportedly less expensive than upgrades offered by OEMs.
Can be retrofit in the field, turn around of 10 days on standard size nozzles.
Visiprise Manufacturing 4.2 enhances the user experience with increased performance, integration, reporting and business intelligence.
Includes: Enhanced machine integration for control and efficiency of product delivery, enabling tight integration from PLM to the plant floor; Robust business intelligence, Production Metrics powered by Cognos, creating more than 30 pre- configured, customizable business intelligence reports; Out-of-the-box statistical reports that query high volumes of data over a historical period and allows for scheduling of the creation and sharing of customized Web-based reports; Additional authoring tools so users can write a report once and distribute it in multiple languages and formats and can create their own reports on demand using drag-and-drop assembly.
Allows users to log in to access, design and visualize reports directly inside Production Metrics powered by Cognos. Can manage performance by delivering a consistent, accurate view of all business information.
Visiprise Manufacturing is an enterprise- level, scalable, J2EE manufacturing solution that enables global manufacturers to manage and control manufacturing and shop floor operations. Integrates business systems to the shop floor, allowing for component and item-level visibility for single and global installations.
DVT 515 and 535 are easy-to-use vision sensors with a suite of vision tools. “The DVT 515 and 535 are not limited to a single or even a few generic machine vision functions, but handle a much broader range of applications than similarly-priced vision sensors,” said Kris Nelson, Sr. VP, Vision Sensors. “It’s also very easy for users to combine vision tools to inspect, measure, count, find features and compare patterns in order to automate inspection and ensure quality in a variety of applications and industries.” Are the lowest cost models in the DVT vision sensor family, which includes products for simple part inspection to defect detection, high-resolution and color applications. Operate with easy-to-use Intellect software that facilitates setup, integration and maintenance; are backward-compatible with FrameWork. Have built-in Ethernet to connect to factory networks and software, making communications with other vision systems, PLCs, SCADA systems, PCs and databases fast and easy.
