Is a split plane operation and has integrated resistive touch monitor. Feature a bottom-side stencil wiper, vibration squeegee technology and Grid-Lok based bottom-side tooling. Includes digital scan vision, single flying overhead camera gantry operation, passive axis design and an automatic two-cartridge paste dispenser.
 

XiDAT XD7800 large board format digital x-ray inspection system reportedly covers 24 x 30" and handles boards up to 24.3 x 33". Said to offer oblique angle views of up to 70° for any position 360° around any point of area. Is equipped with the VR160 x-ray tube, reportedly offering feature recognition to 950 nm. Real-time digital inspection reportedly can be achieved at either 1.3 MP viewed on a 20" flat panel LCD display or 2.0 MP viewed on a 24" flat panel LCD display with up to 7,400x magnification. 
 

The SI-C1500 SPI is said to be capable of high-speed, accurate post-reflow visual inspection. Features MOSIAC color processing software that reportedly enhances detection accuracy and speed. Said to extract color elements from each board and identify defects based on color contrast. Features a 1.3 MP color CCD camera. Can view angle-mounted components. 
 

The SMT1000-ZD is reportedly capable of removing rosin, no-clean and water-soluble fluxes. Said to be compatible with Pb-free solders and solder pastes. A single button is said to direct the machine to wash, rinse and dry full loads of assemblies. Has a built-in chemical management system that automatically mixes and doses wash chemical into the wash-solution recycling system. Recycling system permits wash solution to be filtered and reused on subsequent cycles. Zero-discharge configuration operates in locations where drain lines are not available. Additional standard features include SPC data logging with network-compatible viewing, 10.4" graphic touch-screen interface, unlimited alpha-numeric recipe generation, ESD-safe adjustable board rack and “Focus-Wash” defluxing technology.

The MV-7L provides one top-down camera and four side-view cameras, each with a native resolution of 2 MP. The “Quad Angle Lighting System” is said to provide four independently programmable zones. Intelli-Scan laser reportedly precisely measures the z-height of a given region. Is said to provide four point height measurement capability for BGA and CSP coplanarity testing and enhanced solder paste measurement capability. Provides “drag and drop” component programming. Typical programming time said to be less than one hour per assembly.

The Juki 100 table/benchtop selective solder machine has a gliding carrier where the nozzle is lifted through the access hole to the soldering location. Then the nozzle is lowered back to the home position. The PCB then moves to the next soldering location via the gliding carrier. After positioning, the solder nozzle will go up through the access hole again and solder the next location. The gliding board carrier reportedly causes no friction across the top of the board. Said to not rely on special carriers or software to ensure level soldering. Features simple XYZ servo axis system borrowed from the XY fluxer. Includes a four-step setup. Maintenance is said to require no tools.
 

The Label Master 1100P label attachment system is reportedly fully automated. Uses SMEMA communication to stabilize PCBs during label placement, and has a front stopper and side-gauging device in the conveyor. Can dispense printed labels through the label printer or a preprinted label on a roll. Uses a robot placement positing system. Features a gantry-type robot (X-, Y- or Z- axis); 1- or 2-D scanner label verification; a fiducial-based board orientation/label centering vision camera, and TCP/IP data communication. Labels can be attached at a variable angle by applying the ÿ-axis (0° ~ 360°).
 

Lead-Free Solder Paste Remover is a blend of aliphatic glycol ethers, isopropyl alcohol and DI water. Said to be RoHS-compliant and usable with any type of solder paste. Can be used to clean stencils, screens, misprinted boards, tools, benches, machinery, and can remove chip bonder epoxies. 
 

The PPD-130 Peristaltic Pump Dispenser reportedly provides accurate and repeatable deposits of low viscosity fluids in an air-free system. The peristaltic pumping principle applies pressure to a soft Teflon tube. Fluid flow is said to be a function of the tube diameter and the pump rotational speed. Said to be self-priming on startup. Has a reverse direction. Can be programmed to provide up to 3 sec. of vacuum snuff-back for deposit control. A large segment LCD reportedly displays a timed countdown for fluid discharge from 0.01 – 99.99 sec. Available in 110V and 220V versions.
