New products include QPM small screwdrivers, Fastening Tool Center software, Omega touch screen interface for multiple QPM controllers and a new PSI controller with pulse tools. The company also introduced a 500 lb iLift; the 150 lb model will demonstrate overall capability.
Straight, push-to-start and angle screwdriver models offer clean, quiet and ergonomic fastening from 0.4 to 18 Nm. Other QPM models include angle, straight, hold and drive, crowfoot, tubenut and fixtured tools with rated torques from 2 to 2,000 Nm. QPM assembly systems can interface in many ways to manufacturing systems for tool programming and data management. Fastening Tool Center software enables enterprise-wide control and data analysis for QPM systems. The touch screen interface offers soft PLC capability and interface with as many as 36 QPM tools and controllers.

ALSIP, IL– From the moment they roll off the production line, circuit boards, transistor leads, plugs and switching assemblies, and other delicate electronic components are expected to deliver top performance. To protect functionality without affecting conductivity, Daubert Cromwell has introduced Silver-Guard poly bags.
Silver-Guard anti-tarnish film removes sulfide vapors inside a closed environment. The chemicals react with the vapors to eliminate the sulfide, and eliminate the risk of tarnish. May be placed in direct contact with the part without risk of staining or discoloration.
Packaging is a one-step, one-product process said to reduce packaging time, expense and inventory. The clear film, standard in 2 mil, is non-toxic and recyclable.
Offered in rolls, sheeting and many sizes of resealable bags.

The MFR (Multi Function Rework) system has a compact power unit that offers two ports to which any of the MFR series tools can be attached for rework applications, SMT tasks and through-hole soldering and desoldering. For heavier or more varied workloads, multiple units can be interlocked to power as many tools as necessary.
Offers a choice of heater tips or tip cartridges. Heater tips are designed to meet the demands of point to point production soldering; tip cartridges are suitable for high performance soldering and rework applications.
The tools, interchangeable heater tips and tip cartridges are easy to assemble and use, ideal for demanding lead-free materials. Metcal SmartHeat technology senses the amount of heat energy needed at the pad and provides it accurately and instantaneously.
Sensitive components are further protected from damage by ESD-safe materials and built-in ground continuity-sensing technology.
Tools in the series include:
MFR-PTZ Precision Tweezer System -- dual fine point adjustment and pivot action allows even small SMT devices, such as 0201 chip capacitors, to be handled during rework;
MFR-SRC Solder/Rework Cartridge System -- fast, high performance soldering and rework applications;
MFR-PST Production Solder Tip System -- point to point production soldering;
MFR-DSI and MFR-DSX desoldering stations.
The lightweight hand pieces are designed with optimum tip-to-grip distance, has a range of tip cartridge and heater tip geometries.

Munich, Germany and Westford, MA -- Zuken has launched Circuit Adviser to the Western market for systematically checking errors in a schematic, helping identify design problems early in the development cycle and eliminating the need to re-run design cycles.
The module was created to find hidden electrical problems in the schematic design held within CR-5000 System Designer using predefined electrical rules set by the library administrator. A task that would ordinarily involve considerable analysis time using SPICE-based simulators can now be performed using simple automatic rule checks.
Is an add-on solution fully integrated with the CR-5000 enterprise wide design environment. By implementing combined technologies that use a singular database throughout the portfolio, designers can benefit from unified design information.
Can perform eight different electrical rule checks including voltage rating and ground supply polarity. Supports verification of design variants and provides a full quality rule check report. Eliminates expensive call-back actions caused by simple errors such as incorrect polarity or voltage ranges.

Multicore MP218 halide-free, no-clean solder paste is optimized for SnPb processes yet compatible with Pb-free device finishes. Is comprised of similar raw materials, activators and other components as used in next generation Pb-free solders. Offers wider reflow capabilities to overcome wetting issues caused by the combination of SnPb solder and Pb-free device finishes.
Is designed to operate under elevated Pb-free temperatures (up to 260°C). Is said to have high humidity resistance. Anti-tombstoning formulation is designed to extend the liquidus time of solder during reflow, increasing the wetting window for each end of the component.
Newark InOne, a small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in North America and a subsidiary of global Premier Farnell, has posted a downloadable Guide to the WEEE Directive on its RoHS Express website: newarkinone.com/rohs.
The guide was designed to help U.K. businesses comply with the WEEE legislation, which has a newly extended deadline of June 2006. The guide also has relevance for North American companies, as the need for recycling solutions will grow along with the number of e-recycling (electronics recycling) laws in the U.S. and Canada .
Unlike its sister directive, RoHS, each E.U. member state will differ in how it implements WEEE, which deals with the collection, treatment and recovery of nearly any electrical or electronic product that ends up in a landfill. Similarly, in the absence of national legislation, 28 states are writing their own WEEE-type laws. The RoHS Express site offers a guide to pending and existing environmental legislation in the U.S. and Canada.
