Finetech has developed a Mobile Device Rework (MDR) System for the Fineplacer Pico for the demands of reworking mobile phones, PDAs, gaming handhelds, multimedia portables, Bluetooth and WLAN equipment, memory cards, notebooks and portable medical equipment such as pacemakers. The new system will be on display in booth 5002 at ATExpo in Rosemont, IL
Equipped with a new motorized placement module, the system achieves a degree of reproducibility unrivalled in manual rework and minimizes operator influence. WinCOMISS software controls bond force during placement and soldering, resulting in a production-compatible reflow process.
The lead-free capable system provides the capability to perform the entire rework process for the smallest of devices up to RF shield cans, and for extremely high-density packages. A fully automated version is also available to process pallets of system boards through the entire rework cycle: shield can and device removal, residual solder paste removal, printing, and device and shield replacement.
Also available, but not on display, is an optional integrated solder paste dispenser module that can dispense solder paste dots small enough for 01005 rework. It can also be configured to dispense epoxy and underfill.

BP Microsystems will highlight the 2710 concurrent programming system in booth 5635 at ATExpo. The company will also display a video showing its automated device programmers.
The 2710 combines 0.24 s/Mb programming technology, FX4 socket modules and the Concurrent Programming system for higher throughput, reduced cost per device and faster turnarounds. Improved the site hardware enables programming of devices with densities up to 4 Gbits. Incorporates high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus for communications.
Designed specifically for high density devices and the associated longer programming times, including Flash. Programs a 64-Mb device in 15 sec. FX4 socket modules program up to four devices simultaneously per site. With two, four or six programming sites, the 2710 can program up to 24 devices at the same time. The programmer is compatible with all existing socket modules — standard and automated.
Supports all device packages, including but not limited to DIP, SDIP, PLCC, TSOP, SSOP, PCMCIA, SOIC, LCC, QFP, PQFP, PGA, SIMM, CSP, BGA, microBGA, TQFP and TSSOP. Guards against passing blank parts.
Supports more than 22,000 devices with very low voltage devices down to 1.5 V (Vdd), including, but not limited to, EPROM, EEPROM, Flash EPROM, Microcontrollers, PLD, CPLD, FPGA and antifuse FPGAs.

The Automation Group of Tyco Electronics will highlight the P350 x-y insertion machine in booth 5438 at AT Expo.
Used for the automatic insertion of reeled pin, tab and receptacle products into PCBs, can apply both through-hole solder and press-fit components.
Can be equipped with up to three product-specific insertion heads. Each incorporates a rotary insertion finger to allow products to be inserted at different angles without having to rotate the PCB.
Is SMEMA compatible for inline operation. PCBs are positioned under the insertion head by an x-y table that is driven by servo motors. A multi-tasking controller drives the motors and monitors the insertion process.
Programming can be executed through the Windows-based interface, off-line or by converting CAD data of various formats.
Features: high-speed AC servo motors for the x-y table and insertion head for reduced cycle times; automatic tool change feature for up to three insertion heads; SMEMA compatibility; optical sensors for automatic position correction; PCB thickness measurement; rotary insertion finger to apply products at various angles without reducing cycle time; and monitoring of the insertion forces of press-fit components.
Inserts up to 300 pins/min., has maximum insertion area of 450 x 450 mm and features 0.02 mm repeatability.

Essemtec will highlight CSM7100, a flexible pick-and-place system with intelligent feeders for high-mix/low-volume production, in booth 5800 at the upcoming AT Expo.
Standard laser alignment is accurate, reliable and maintenance-free. Every component is measured and aligned on-the-fly. Also, tape reels, tape strips, sticks and trays of any size can be used to feed parts. Components as tall as 15 mm can be placed.
Fulfills the requirements of high-mix/low-volume SMT production with a wide application range. Benefits include a feeder capacity of 100 x 8 mm, intelligent tape feeders from 8 to 56 mm, 4000 placements per hour, optical on-the-fly alignment, easy graphical operation system, integrated dispensing system, barcode-based feeder setup and a universal CAD data input filter.
Lightplacer Windows-based software features a fully graphical man-machine interface. Large feeder capacity and automatic recognition of intelligent feeders ensure minimum changeover times and error-free placement. Tape feeders are electrically driven and the pitch is programmable. Can be programmed on- or offline. Barcode labels on feeders and components guarantee correct feeder setup using a barcode reader.
Has a footprint of 80 x 80 cm.
