PEM Hybrid floating panel fastener assemblies can be installed by hand or with a tool into any thin panel material (including stainless steel and PCBs) and permit radial float to compensate for mating hole misalignment up to 0.060". Fully captive steel screws keep parts to a minimum and eliminate risks associated with loose hardware that could fall out and damage internal components. Come in screw thread sizes of #10-32 and #12-24 and M5 and M6, and varying lengths.
CPL827 clear polyester liner label, for auto-apply applications, is designed for harsh environments (up to 300°C). Is a low-cost material said to match polyimide or Kapton performance and is rigid enough for automation. Features a robust liner combined with a rigidly constructed label. Comes in green, yellow and white.
Flopack V6.2 Web-based SmartPart library reportedly generates fast, accurate thermal models for IC packages and associated parts. Thermal models can be instantly imported into novel software to analyze component, board and system cooling requirements. Features a major expansion of the power/discrete semiconductor package library; a new parametric rules engine that checks for errors in design data inputs; and enhanced, more accurate bond wire model.
PowerClean II cleans lead-free circuit boards during manufacturing, rework and repair. Formula is based on Vertrel solvents from DuPont and VersaTrans solvents from PPG. Said to be ideal replacement for ozone-depleting solvents. Is alcohol-free with reportedly no risk of white residues.
Alpha EF-2210 wave solder flux offers soldering and electrical reliability performance. Complies with environmental regulations. Is a VOC-free, no-clean, low-solids, rosin-free flux that passes the Bellcore SIR electrical reliability requirement. Uses an activator system said to minimize micro-solder balls, bridging and icicles. Water-based, non-flammable formula. Is Pb-free and SnPb compatible.
The AX-201 places many different types of components with a reported accuracy of better than 20 microns at single-digit defects per million. Places 01005 components, fine-pitch devices and odd-form components up to 130 x 79 mm with machine vision and laser alignment. Is suitable for both stand-alone and line-balancing applications with the AX-301 or AX-501. It has a placement rate of up to 18,000 cph. Placement force is programmable from 0.9 to 40 N. Feeders are configurable to hold up to 212 pick positions and 376 Jedec trays. Shares common user interface, feeders, trolleys and placement heads with other A-Series machines. Is designed for medium and large batch production in both high and low product mix environments.
