LOS ANGELES – Cimnet Systems Inc. and Direct Logix are now offering a bundled version of the companies’ respective engineering planning and management software.
The companies announced the move at a press conference during the IPC Apex show this week.
The combined solution is said to completely automate front-end operations, from quoting to pre-production engineering and design.
The bundled front-end automation tool includes Cimnet’s i-Quote Web-enabled PCB quotation system, and Direct Logix’s CAM Automation, Design Rule Check Analysis and Engineering Flow Control tools.
“This is a very powerful solution backed by two vendors that are directly focused on the unique needs and business requirements of leading PCB manufacturers around the world,” said Cimnet general manager Mehul Davé.
Cimnet is supplier of ERP software and services for the PCB industry. Direct Logix provides engineering procedure management software.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Dr. Denis Barbini took home top honors at the SMTA Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium last month. The paper, "Lead Free Wave Soldering: Process Optimization for Simple to Highly Complex Boards," won Best of Conference, as rated by attendees. The paper covers how critical wave soldering parameters correlate and provide information necessary to make educated decisions in selecting materials.
Barbini is advanced technology manager at Vitronics-Soltec, and a member of the SMTA board.
The new services are available to users of Takaya systems and to any electronics manufacturer that needs fixtureless test.
Services offered include simple program preparation and CAD conversion, full program development and debug, and complete board testing.
Texmac is the exclusive authorized distributor of Takaya flying probers in North America.
Purchasers take note: Cookson’s Steve Corbett and Henkel’s Pat Trippel separately stressed that the precious metals markets are running wild. “The tin market situation is scary,” noted Corbett, noting the shutdowns in Indonesia and market uncertainty in Bolivia – two primary suppliers.
