LaserVision CompactTWIN standalone AOI inspects both sides of double-sided PCBs simultaneously. Is based on LaserVision Compact 3. Second test head examines top and bottom of double-sided PCBs and PTH solder joints at the same time. Inspects PCBs with a bilateral height of 45 mm. Telecentric lenses permit color picture recording with a resolution of 10 μm and 18.7 μm. Covers a working area of 450 x 350 mm. Reported inspection speed of 200,000 cph. Can integrate an angled-view module to perform extra 3D measurements. Designed modularly; can be used as unilateral or bilateral system.

DSEC Series high-speed dual-stack edge-card socket accepts two 1.6 mm-thick PCB cards. This 0.8 mm pitch system, in a right-angled configuration, permits dual-stacked cards at 7 mm spacing between cards. Available with 30, 40 or 50 edge-rate contacts per row. Is optimized for signal integrity and impedance control, high cycles, reduced broadside coupling, and low insertion and withdrawal force. Pb-free solder charge terminations for easy board processing are standard; SnPb solder charges optional. Additional card spacings and an elevated single-card system also available.

The iTherm-100 test station is a turnkey system of laboratory instruments and sensors for studies that require precise airflow velocity and temperature measurement. Applications include thermal management studies on boards, heat sinks, fans, ATCA cards, and racks. Includes a benchtop, laboratory-grade wind tunnel, automated controller, and multiple sensors. Can be used for characterizing airflow and measuring pressure drop across heat sinks and over other PCB components. With an attached thermocouple, it can be used for individual thermal management studies on CPUs and other hot components.
