GoWave 1030 wave soldering system is for low-volume production for both leaded and Pb-free applications. Is for soldering small- or medium-sizes batches. Now features a longer reflection tunnel over both the preheat area and the solder pot. Has been redesigned as one unit. Features a new spray flux nozzle with HVLP technology. Has a PCS 707 touchscreen controller and USB interface. Service points for the fluxer and compressed air are now located directly at the inlet section of the machine. Features a new switch cabinet and updated pump motor, as well as a redesigned exhaust area and conveyor.

SMT spring-loaded connectors are offered as discrete contacts; many are available in tape-and-reel packaging. Part family 0910-0 and 0910-1 through 4 are discrete SLCs specifically designed for production tape-and-reel assembly. Part 0967 is a horizontal mount SMT SLC designed for low-profile board-to-board interconnections. Feature a large base for either increased PCB stability or assembly in non-PCB applications such as a face plate. Part family 0990-0 and 0990-1 through 4 and 0997-0 through 9 offer a range of application heights from 0.137" to 0.430".

Multicore LF730 Pb-free solder paste uses DAP Plus Type 4 solder powder and a flux medium said to permit greater process latitude. Reportedly prints thorough apertures as small as 160 µm, permitting more solder per aperture with less risk of aperture clogging. Volume release is said to be over 90%.

Wets to a range of surface finishes, and can be used in environments from 30°C at 84% RH. Features open and abandon times of two to three hours, standard refrigeration storage, six-month shelf life and good hot slump resistance.

IM-6000 series provides high-precision dimension inspection. Pattern registration and search functions provide place-and-press measurement operation. Reportedly eliminates need for optical comparators, x-y stages for part positioning, CNC measuring devices, and measuring and stereo microscopes. Parts to be measured are placed on the IM’s sample tray, and the measurement button pressed. An iPASS automatically locates, identifies and measures parts placed anywhere within the unit’s 100 mm field of view. A part evaluation library stores the images, measurement functions and specifications of parts, and provides automatic pattern search, part recognition and measurement without setup the next time inspection of the same parts is performed. Performs up to 99 distinct measurements with the press of a button. High-precision image acquisition and sub-pixel processing permit measurement of hard-to-inspect features.
