Two IC thermal detection units for the Aerial flying probe tester detect thermal parameters of ICs under power. Compare temperatures of known good boards to suspect boards, and indicate bad components. Reportedly permit precise thermal measurement of the IC or other components while the part is powered up, even under low-voltage conditions.

The Asset and Inventory Tracking System is a secure method of tracking, locating and managing assets. Includes 3M software, RFID or barcode tags and corresponding readers. No need to install and configure servers or purchase database licenses. Either 3M or third-party hardware and tags can be used by the software, providing leverage with equipment already owned. Barcode printing feature permits use of existing printers. A commercial-grade wireless handheld reader is for mobile asset management. Data are automatically backed up in a Tier III data center. Can tag assets with an RFID or barcode tag, after which fixed or mobile handheld readers can be used to check out items to individual users, locate assets in a workflow or provide more visibility of inventory. Includes a search and report function. Can attach documents such as owner’s manuals and warranties to the asset record.

MaxiReflow process gas cleaning system for reflow ovens is equipped with cyclone technology. Extracts contaminated process gas from all heated zones, leads it through a cyclone and then directs the cleaned gas back to heating area. The temperature inside the cyclone is controlled. By injecting a small amount of water into the cyclone, both liquid and solid residues are washed off and led into an active carbon filter unit. Is configured as closed system.

Vision series convection reflow ovens have new cooling zone designs. Are effective for the homogenous cooling of large thermal mass PCBs. Cooling area in VisionXP is laid out in 2, 3 or 4 stages. Fans in the individual zones, available with separate speed/volume control, can cool Pb-free processed PCBAs to below 50°C. Bottom-side cooling configuration now available. The design is useful for uniformly processing thick PCBs, workpiece carriers, and PCBs with unevenly distributed copper innerlayers.
