WS330 is a compact wave soldering machine for small- and mid-size volumes in standard and lead-free technology. Solder width up to 330 mm and the universal pallet transport system allows for a variety of PCBs. Equipped with a dual-wave technology, allowing THT and SMD components to be soldered.
Includes full convection preheating, spray fluxing system and composite coated parts.
Said to offer small delta-T values, precise hot air flows and a closed loop.
Microprocessor-controlled temperature cycles ensure fast preheating. High temperature efficiency enables a shorter preheat zone
Coating of the solder pot and wave elements enables production with lead-free solder. The coating is applied after the complete pot is finished, eliminating possible problem areas. All parts in contact with the solder are coated (pot, pump, channel).
Available with spray or foam fluxer. Spray fluxing features automatic board detection.
Equipped with a universal palette transportation system based on an antistatic belt. Has ergonomic loading/unloading heights.

BergStik un-shrouded headers with simplex-plated contacts meet environmental requirements for lead-free and RoHS-compatible components. Feature standard 0.025” (0.64 mm) sq. post contacts on 0.100” (2.54 mm) pitch.
Simplex plated posts with gold or GXT (gold flash over palladium-nickel) contact finish have no tin content. Headers can be ordered with insulators molded using high-temperature thermoplastic capable of withstanding lead-free reflow soldering temperatures.
“BergStik headers with simplex precious-metal contact finish provide a low- risk path for electronics manufacturers to completely eliminate lead from un-shrouded headers,” said Alejandro Aguirre, product manager.

The latest version of CAM350, for verification and optimization of PCBs, now includes Streams Rule Check - a new method of performing PCB design analysis. Allows users to shorten the time to analyze a design by performing Design Rule checks, Design for Manufacturing checks and Netlist Comparison checks simultaneously.
“Analyzing Gerber layers in CAM systems is often a tedious and time-consuming procedure. For each type of design analysis to be performed, a PCB designer needs to set up and execute it separately, then view the results separately,” said Rick Almeida, founder. “With Streams Rule Check, a designer can set-up once and execute a variety of analysis simultaneously - or all in one ‘stream’ - saving time and increasing productivity.”
It also allows the user to run different analysis in High Technology areas such as BGA or Wire Bond while running “standard” analysis on the balance of the design.
Enhancements to existing DFF and DRC functions include new negative plane checks, missing soldermask and floating antennas as well as other enhancements and corrections.
The new version is available at no additional charge to existing customers with a valid maintenance agreement.

PPT VISION has announced two new intelligent camera models, the IMPACT T26 and T27. The T-series are intelligent cameras with full-scale vision image processing capabilities built into the camera.
“Both cameras are designed to give manufacturers greater accuracy and improved defect detection, compared to standard resolution vision systems,” said Joe Christenson, president. “The T26 incorporates a 1280 X 1024 CMOS high resolution imager that provides an economical machine vision solution with all the features of a full-scale high-resolution system. The T27 is the industry’s highest resolution intelligent camera. With a 1600 X 1200 CCD imager, it is ideal for the most accurate and repeatable defect detection even at high production speeds.”
The T-series family contains a high performance microprocessor and real-time operating system, plus a digital imaging sensor. The electronic components are contained into a sealed industrial unit which can be installed directly into assembly lines and manufacturing equipment.

Roll-A-Round base provides mobility and space-saving convenience for Prolite illuminated magnifiers. Most magnifiers are mounted to a table or workbench; the new base allows a magnifier to go mobile instantly when needed elsewhere. The base brings task lighting and magnification where it is needed. This includes the model builder’s bench, craft hobbyist’s table, or for bedside lighting, reading, knitting, crocheting, tying flies, sewing, stamp and coin collecting and review, and other uses where cool, natural, full-spectrum lighting and magnification are desired.
The heavy-duty base features a five-leg caster system for stability, and is compatible with most magnifiers or other bench-mounted lighting fixtures that use a standard 1/2" bottom mounting pin. Chair-height base includes a weight underneath for resistance to tipping. The base is 32" high.
