TechniShield is a plating process for individual shielding of active components. Offers direct plating to the molding compound; is said to create nonporous deposit that eliminates the need for metal caps or lids. Uses novel chemistry to roughen and plate the epoxy molding compound. Is chrome-free. Reportedly maintains excellent adhesion through multiple reflows and produces a pore-free surface.

2200-545 Series adjustable stroke mix-dispense valves are designed for controlled flow of 2-component adhesives and sealants, such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics. Are based on the No-Drip valve body design for fluid control, featuring the integration of carbide ball-end needles and carbide seats. The adjustable stroke feature permits the operator to fine-tune the flow rate by rotating the threaded stem on the back of the valve. The valve is also available with an eyelet stem for attaching to a tool balance. Are 2.25" in diameter by 5.5" long, and are rated for 3,500 psi (240 bar). Double air actuated with two 1/8 NPT ports for a 4-way pneumatic valve connections.  Body has two 1/4 NPT fluid inlet ports for Part A and B materials and accepts a wide variety of motionless mixers; has two screw holes and two dowel holes.

The Amkor 15 mmm Dummy PoP comes in a 0.65 mm pitch with a 160 I/O top and a 0.5 mm pitch, 605 I/O bottom. Is for PSvfBGA. Is the mechanical equivalent of a live component used only when physical properties are required.
 

 

 

K7000 circular linear blade depanelizer singulates pre-scored PCBs with tight component spacing. The linear blade is 12" long and has a 0.030" thin symmetrical cutting edge. The circular blade is 3.8" in diameter and has the same cutting edge profile as the linear blade. This blade is mounted on a shaft with the center line passing through the middle of the support bearing. For singulating panels with components such as BGA sockets that encroach on the edge of the board. Unit weighs less than 30 lbs.

An updated Model 5500 Benchtop Stencil Printer reportedly provides vertical separation of the stencil from the PCB prior to the lifting of the stencil frame. Includes tooling for double-sided boards and dual squeegees mounted to linear slide bearings for side-to-side squeegee motion. Includes squeegees with stainless steel blades and rubber blades. Self-locking dial adjustments permit X, Y, Z, and R axis settings. Maximum print area is 500 x 550 mm, and maximum frame size is 600 x 600 mm. Net weight of approximately 165 lbs.
 

These electrostatic dissipative workstations are certified to meet specific electrical property requirements; said to ensure static dissipation at a safe rate. Pedestals and workbench components can be protected by static dissipative powder-coat finishes available in three standard colors. Feature work surfaces and shelves with static dissipative plastic laminate; have ground bolts with a 12' grounding cord. Can be configured in a variety of heights and lengths, with cabinet pedestals and/or legs.

The X3 3-D x-ray system inspects PCBs with BGAs and other hidden solder joints. Gathers multiple oblique images to construct a rendering used in identifying solder and component-related defects on both single and double-sided boards. Selectively uses 2-D or 3-D to inspect specific regions. Permits discrimination between top and bottom sides of boards. A typical inspection program is said to be created in fewer than 45 min. Reportedly is suited for inline or offline applications. Has remote programming and real-time SPC software.
