The easy-wire CH2 high-voltage wiring harness/backplane tester offers test voltages to 1500VDC and 1000VAC in a modular system. Can be ordered with as few as 160 test points and expanded to 20,000. Future capability to 100,000 points is expected.
Runs on Windows-based easy-wire software.
Can self-learn the wiring pattern from a sample assembly. Can be programmed through its onboard wirelist editor, or test programs can be imported from CAD/CAE generated data files. Measures resistance from .1 to 1MW in standard two-wire mode, and as low as .001W in four-wire mode. Detect sshorts in <1 sec. and checks for opens, shorts, mis-wires and high-resistance errors, as well as testing components in the assembly. High voltage tests verify insulation up to 1GW.
Can also be used as a zero-defect wiring assembly aid, guiding the operator through the assembly process with on-screen connector graphics and red/green LED indicators.

Chad Industries Inc. announced a 100% under board lead inspection option for its line of automated and semi-automated circuit board assembly systems.
The option allows for leads to be inspected during the insertion process and has been adapted to the company’s odd form assembly systems.
A camera has been mounted to a programmable X-Y stage below the board and inspects the leads once they have been inserted. The programmable stage allows the camera to move with the robot to each new location on the board as well as to multiple locations on the board for each insertion required for large parts.
"Driven by our customer demands to trap defects of Odd Form thru-hole components during the board assembly and not at a distant test station, Chad Industries developed a new vision tool and process to meet these needs," said Scott Klimczak, president of Chad Industries. "With this new design we are inspecting the component leads where it matters, after the part has been inserted."
The tool uses Adept Vision sAVI.

Cobar 396-FTA VOC-free flux for Pb-free wave soldering applications has less than 2% solids, yielding clean post solder surfaces even on difficult solder resists. Said to deliver excellent soldering performance on most types of circuit boards. Eliminates solder balls as well as wetting and wicking issues, even on OSP assemblies.

Self-cleaning Wash Tank has no horizontal floor surfaces,
preventing solder paste from building up on the tank’s floor. Is
equipped with multiple funnels mounted on the tank floor. The end of
the funnels feeds into a small diameter metal tube. Water is pumped
through the tube at 15 ft/ sec., sweeping solder paste into a filter
housing.
Neither an operator nor a maintenance technician is required to scrape solder paste from the bottom of a wash tank. Prevents solder paste from entering a waste stream, eliminates direct contact between an operator and the paste.
Available in SonicOne G3 automatic stencil cleaning systems and will be introduced on semi-automatic models throughout 2006.

2-D vision inspection option on the 4710 detects lead defects. Is compatible with a high-speed camera, verifies all leads are within some tolerance before the chips are shipped to the customer. Detects edge pitch, which identifies skewed leads at 0.02 mm and trend edge position, which identifies lifted leads at 0.04 mm.
Used on automated programming systems, the vision system mounts onto a tape loader and integrates with BP Win and Jobmaster.
