The BOMcheck.net web database system enables companies to upload substances declarations to a single location for access by all participating manufacturers. Permits electronics producers to reduce the industry burden of ensuring REACH and RoHS compliance by compiling a centralised master database of substance data from suppliers. Will reportedly reduce costs by providing a central location for sharing data with multiple manufacturers. ENVIRON and COCIR, www.bomcheck.net
Slic laser-cut stencil is said to have mechanical and thermal properties of standard stainless steel, but superior paste release and aperture wall smoothness. Incorporate a base material with a denser grain structure said to result in fewer voids and the same tensile and yield strength as stainless steel. Have a repeatability of ±16 µm and are suitable for applications with surface area ratios of 0.55 and above. Featuring a positional accuracy of ±12.5 µm (over 600 x 600 mm) and an aperture dimensional tolerance of ±9 µm, the following standard material thicknesses are available: 0.004, 0.005, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008, 0.009 and 0.010". Additional thicknesses available upon request. Fine Line Stencil, a division of FCT Assembly,www.finelinestencil.com
Kwik-Lok 100% stainless steel lifting pins provide convenience, speed, and safety in challenging applications and environments. Provide a 5 to 1 strength factor. Have a 17-4 PH stainless steel forged lifting ring to resist corrosion in harsh environments. Large opening accommodates a wide range of lifting hooks or hardware. Load spreader bar on each ring helps to prevent accidental actuation. Maximum lifting loads from 400 to 1400 lbs. Nominal pin diameters range from 1/4" to 5/8" and grip lengths range from 0.5" to 3.00".
iMonitor 2.0 enables creation of real-time dashboards to monitor the enterprise, factory, and lines in real-time through web browsers. Creates unlimited numbers of interactive and real-time production tracking, materials, utilization and quality dashboards. Dashboards are constructed by dragging-and-dropping gauges, charts and other active elements into a design view, along with graphics such as line pictures or plant drawings. Can activate each element by indicating the xLink data source. Users link any gauge or chart in one dashboard to another dashboard, creating a dashboard site structure for unlimited interactivity. Permits building of slide shows of multiple dashboards that rotate at user-defined time intervals.
KD-2077 is a high-speed dispensing system that features three standard dispensing heads for a rate of 0.1 sec/shot. Provides automatic syringe pressure compensation, dot size confirmation, low adhesive warning and independent temperature control for each head. Features up to four adhesive dots per dispense cycle. Supports a range of components from 0603 chips to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, SOPs and QFPs. Is compatible with Chinese RoHS and is backward compatible with KD-775 dispenser.
