Forced verification for screen printers includes a sensor to detect when the cover of the machine is open. Triggers a request to validate the machine setup, including solder paste, stencil, squeegees, etc. Includes a cycle stop controller to physically stop the machine until all the required elements have been validated.

SMT Machine CAMX adapters are used to gather real-time material and process data from production equipment. Data can be shared via an IPC standard CAMX broker with Cogiscan TTC applications or ERP, MES and internal traceability systems. Support placement machines from Fuji, Juki, Mydata, Universal Instruments and Siplace, as well as screen printers from DEK, reflow ovens from VI Technology, AOI from Cyberoptics, Koh Young and Viscom, x-ray from Teradyne , ICT from Teradyne, and the SMD storage unit from Essemtec and Mydata.

RFID smart feeder upgrade kit for Samsung placement machines enables closed-loop setup validation and traceability for existing machines and feeders. Reduces machine downtime during changeovers and replenishment and reduces risk of human errors.

ESS selective soldering machines, EWS-500 wave soldering machines and ERO-500 reflow ovens are designed for low-volume, high-mix assemblers.

ESS selective soldering machines are batch soldering systems with on-board, touch screen, micro-controllers and on-board flux, preheat and omni-directional soldering. Perform single point, drag, mini-wave and dip soldering. Off-line programming and photoscan software are available.

EWS wave soldering machines employ an "L" finger handling mechanism, permitting pallet-less board transport. Continuous width adjustments permit quick changeover for all board widths up to 12" or 310mm.

ERO-500 is a 5-zone, conveyor reflow oven for SnPb and Pb-free soldering of SMT boards, hybrid boards and curing of glue and thick-film pastes. Heating zones are independently programmable and controlled through the on-board LCD system controller. Can define parameters for conveyor speed, heating temperature, convection heat flow and cooling fans.
