TREK StandAlone Wash Module is a SMEMA compatible module that can interface with any existing conveyorized inline washer, regardless of manufacturer.
The module provides chemistry cleaning capability to an existing cleaner that may not support a chemical wash process, or may have poor chemical isolation. Ideal for manufacturers faced with conversion to Pb-free soldering processes where chemistry cleaning is required, but not supported by the current washer.
Provides a heated recirculated spray wash in addition to chemical isolation, turning any
The module provides chemistry cleaning capability to an existing cleaner that may not support a chemical wash process, or may have poor chemical isolation. Ideal for manufacturers faced with conversion to Pb-free soldering processes where chemistry cleaning is required, but not supported by the current washer.
Provides a heated recirculated spray wash in addition to chemical isolation, turning any
washer into a chemistry compatible cleaning system. Can be optioned with Liquid Lock technology, which reportedly reduces consumption of cleaning solution and power. By sealing the wash zone with an entry and exit laminar flow of fluid, it traps the atomized spray in the wash chamber, essentially eliminating atomized spray mist exhaust.
Options include: presoak stage, filtration, automatic chemical injection, top belt and various levels of spray pump performance packages.

CAM350 Release 9.1 is the latest version of the software for the verification and optimization of PCBs. Streams Rule Check is now included at no additional charge in the mid-level CAM-350 configurations. The release also enhances the interfaces to major CAD systems including Mentor, Cadence and AutoCAD.
Streams Rule Check allows Design Rule checks, Design for Manufacturing checks and Netlist Comparison checks to be run simultaneously (or all in one “stream”), shortening the time it takes to analyze a design. It also allows a designer to save the stream based on technology, manufacturing capabilities or other requirements and recall it for use on future designs. The company will also deliver this functionality to customers under maintenance.
Other enhancements include: DFF analysis checks; interface updates; soldermask analysis enhancements; enhancements to minimum space and minimum width analyses; Latium updates; full screen mode; and defect fixes

The Solderite product line has been developed for hand soldering stations and reportedly provides a cost effective solution to Pb-free solder implementation.
Addresses RoHS Compliance by providing substantial changes in the design of the soldering station. The three foremost properties of any soldering station are: Power, Temperature Control and Soldering Tip. The patented technology and design of the power supply and temperature sensing in these new products reportedly produce the fastest temperature recovery time on the market. Electroplated soldering tips ensure quality soldering and extended tip life.
Soldering stations underwent strict testing from lab, contract manufacturing and Pb-free soldering training centers. The tip life has averaged a two-to-one rate compared to standard soldering tips. Tip replacement cost did not exceed the cost of standard soldering tips.

Crossbow connector platform features Crossbow Matrix for orthogonal midplane architectures and Crossbow 2mm+ for standard backplane configurations. The differential connector is optimized for orthogonal midplane configurations, and enables data rates up to 25 Gb/s.
The connector is designed so the differential pairs on each side of the midplane share vias. This direct path approach and the connector's footprint eliminates most electrical problems associated with the traditional backplane via stub, including elimination of cross-talk in the footprint, reflections and impedance mismatches. Said to reduce board layer count by as much as 50% and eliminate the need for backdrilling.
Exhibits less than 0.6% crosstalk at 50 ps and 25 db below transmission across the entire link (past 10GHz). It also demonstrates 100+/- 5% ohms matched impedance across a full link and includes features that compensate for skew.
The 2mm+ connector supports 12.5 Gb/s data rates in a high-density (63 pair/in) configuration. Demonstrates crosstalk less than 1.5% at 50 ps and is designed to complement Crossbow Matrix. Both versions fit on the same rear organizing stiffener, allowing designers to configure a single connector to support orthogonal midplane connections and route high-speed signal lines across the backplane in hybrid architectures.
Incorporates the GbX (R) 0.018" compliant pin and mating interface to ensure mechanical robustness. Both connectors include unique features on the backplane modules that reduce the potential for bent pins.
The Matrix platform includes a 6 x 6 (differential pairs) and 4 x 4 version. The 2mm+ features five differential pairs per column. Both connectors include power and guidance.

ASYS introduced a laser marking island during Apex. The island consists of a Board Destacker, Laser Marker, an optional Flip Station and a Restacker. Can handle a throughput of up to 510 PCBs per hour including code verification. The optional Flip Station, which is completely controlled by the laser marker, can flip the boards for double-sided marking requirements. The marker can handle all industry standard 1-D and 2-D codes, text and graphics in a maximum range of 18 x 18”. The island is less than 8.5 feet long and can be upgraded with multiple options.
