Distributor all4-PCB has introduced two products at APEX.
The Penta 580 Pb-Free HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling) machine is manufactured by Pentagal in Germany. It is said to be designed to conform to the ban on lead soldering equipment scheduled to go into effect throughout Europe in 2006.
The PRS 77 optical lay-up, registration and bonding system for preparation of lamination stacks is from DIS in New York. This process reportedly increases layer-to-layer registration greatly over current solutions.

Condor 500 Flying Prober is now available with its drive technology via linear motors, which ensures high speed and high accuracy. Said to be 30% faster, 25% less expensive than the previous plaform, comes with a new ‘Soft Landing’ tool and optional integrated Boundary Scan.
‘Soft Landing’ is also available on the Condor MTS flying probe test platforms.
Also debuting is the Concurrent In-Line ICT- and Functional Test Cell from JOT. The jointly developed Test Handler J402-11 comes with an embedded Digitaltest LAMBDA Concurrent Tester and features:
• Shortened test cycle time
• Increased test coverage and quality
• Minimized footprint
• Press force 3000 N (4500 N)
• Robust construction
• Easy and quick fixture change

Vi-1K bench-top inspection system uses precision XY motion control based on the company's inline systems. Provides the same inspection capabilities as most inline systems. Can identify component presence/absence, position and polarity lifted leads, solder bridges and tombstones, and provide OCV. Repairs can be completed without removing the board from the system. Powered by Vectoral Imaging and comes with Vision 2006 Software Suite, including Match Maker, VieWeb and Profiler.

Aquanox A4520T Aqueous Chemistry for flush mounted and fine-pitch components is designed to clean under low standoffs and in the tight spaces caused by smaller, more heavily populated devices. Said to be effective on all lead-free, no-clean and eutectic materials available today, while providing the low cost of ownership.
Works at low temperatures and low concentrations while exceeding industry standards for people and environmental safety. Easy to use, effective without sump side additives. Also features a long bath life, is RoHS compliant.
Can clean numerous soils including lead-free flux, tacky flux, reflowed paste, no-clean flux, RMA flux, OA paste, oils, fingerprints, light oxides and polymerized soils. Is multi-metal safe for use on yellow metals, aluminum, ferrous and composites in addition to most precious metals. The biodegradable aqueous solution is non-flammable and non-corrosive.
Available commercially in one, five and 55 gallon containers.

For the past year, RVSI Inspection has offered customers the opportunity to replace the core inspection module of their MicroMap 3-D based LS series tools. The company will now expand the program.
In the past, these upgrades were done at the RVSI factory by exchanging a series of parts. Under the new plan, RVSI Inspection ships a fully functioning/fully tested inspection cabinet to the customer site, where it is exchanged with the older cabinet, taking full advantage of the handler that is already part of the system. This “replacement” can occur at less than half the price of a new tool yet performs at 2X the speed on average. This replacement concept reduces shipping time.
The program is offered on LS-3950, LS-7100 and LS-7700 model RVSI Lead Scanner systems.

NuSil Technology, a manufacturer of silicone-based materials for military, aerospace, electronics and photonics, has expanded its line of electronic packaging materials (EPMs).
All materials in this line will have low outgassing properties to prevent contamination. They have undergone extensive processing and maintain weight losses of less than 1% after exposure to temperatures exceeding 275°C for one hour. Other materials used in this industry are said to exhibit weight losses four to five times that of the NuSil materials.
Among the new offerings are potting and encapsulating materials; static-dissipative and glop top materials; dielectric gels; and thermal interface materials (TIMs), which come in grease, adhesive and gel forms.
