SAM-CT23Q tabletop router now features an offline software program that permits creation and editing of position and program data and reading of PCB drawing data (DXF files). Saves and reads files containing data created using the program. Files can be sent, received and edited when a PC is connected to the SAM-CT23Q router. Features a 40,000 rpm spindle for clean, precise depanelization for densely populated PCBs.

SMTrue smart feeders are for use with vision-based automated pick-and-place machines. Come in all feeder types, including tape, bank, vibratory, matrix and cut-tape. Are managed through a smart feeder database; each is assigned a unique feeder ID. Database manages address, position, component dimensions, count, tape index and vibratory control; can recognize the presence or absence of a feeder, including a checklist of previously programmed information. Provide interactive feedback when component count becomes low or a feeder runs out of components.

New nozzle geometries for wave soldering machines include single solder nozzles and a combination of different nozzle geometries. Said to reduce typical soldering defects such as insufficient fillings, open solder joints and soldering bridges. Improves wetting times and heat input. Speeds throughput up to 40%. Suitable for Pb-free alloys.

Test interface simulation optimizes test interfaces. Signal integrity simulation shows test interface performance. Provides PCB layouts and ensures optimum overall test interfaces. Dedicated simulations may be applied. Verification simulation is a post-layout solution that uses a library of previously simulated models to determine whether an interface meets bandwidth requirements. A limited amount of optimization that compares the PCB material and contactor type also can be incorporated. Interface features can be customized, such as component footprints, contactors and trace topology. Optimization simulation is a 3-D electromagnetic system-level method of ensuring the test interface works the first time.
