XACT 3 inline screen and stencil printers feature a 508 x 508mm (20 x 20”) print format, and 12 sec.+ print cycle times. Come with adjustable stencil guide rails and accept stencils up to 29 x 29” without adapters. EVA vision system ensures ±15µm @6 Sigma alignment repeatability and facilitates 2D print inspection. Pneumatically driven closed-loop print heads ensure constant print pressure throughout the print stroke. Cleaning system benefits from side channel fan upgrade with higher vacuum flow. Features servo motors and upgraded L-shaped belts to improve transport of thin substrates. Options include 2D print inspection, vacuum tooling set-up, heavy duty transport and SPC data interface. User-friendly Wizard interface eases setup.

CondensoXS vapor phase reflow system reduces floor space by 25%. Uses injection principle and controls temperature and pressure (vacuum) for precise, diverse reflow profiling. Solders heavy units quickly and reliably. Horizontal transport of the assembled board prevents components from slipping, reducing reject rates rework requirements. Boards load at the front, underneath the cooling system.

SimmScope semiautomated printed circuit board inspection tool has a 4-color, 4-quadrant lighting system. UV light source permits inspection of conformal coatings. Reportedly enhances speed and accuracy of manual first article and production inspection. Serves as a photo station that captures high-res magnified images (up to 14,800 dpi) of individual components or areas of interest on the board, including connectors, tall through-hole components, screws, and other hardware. An image of the complete board can be stored. Includes automated motions, background masking, and graphical and data report generator. Four system sizes are available for PCBs up to 18 x 30".
