MicroClimate is a 3 ft3 reach-in chamber designed to simulate a full range of temperature and/or humidity conditions. The environmental chamber provides a compact chamber for testing small components and products for a variety of industries. Each chamber simulates a range of temperature and humidity conditions from -73° to 190°C and from 10% to 95% RH.
Features include: Programmable Controller; RS-232 Computer Interface ; 2" Access Port ; Demineralizer filter purifies water and electronic humidity sensor provides accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance on humidity models ; Compact size; Easy installation with no special electrical connections needed; Each unit runs on a standard 115V ; Includes a one year part and labor warranty.
HCT-900 Hand Held Convection Tool is a low-cost rework system with the flexibility to handle a range of thermally demanding production and rework applications, including Pb-free. Typical applications for the 300W unit include removal or replacement of QFPs, PLCCs, SOPs and TSOP devices. It can also provide heating and reflow for touch-up work as well as heat shrink and other local heating applications. Closed-loop thermocouple feedback regulates output temperatures, and control temperatures can be set in the range 100º to 500ºC. The user sets the heat and airflow control dials to the required values for the application. Unit maintains the required temperature automatically, even if airflow is adjusted. The low-noise pump (less than 45 db) provides precision airflow control. A power-off, cool-down function retains the airflow as the unit powers down for efficient heater cooling and reduction of thermal stress. A range of nozzles are available for general purpose applications or specific SO and TSOP packages, or PLCC, BQFP and QFP devices. Also accepts many industry standard nozzles. Three versions are available to suit input voltages of 115VAC (HCT-900-11), 230VAC (HCT-900-21) or 100VAC (HCT-900-10).
YTV F1-Series AOI system offers high-volume manufacturing environment enhancements that reportedly deliver automated PCB inspection and reduced costs, improved quality and increased throughput. Faster and more intuitive, off-line programming maximizes machine utilization with real-time SPC monitoring that is easily configurable and portable across multiple manufacturing lines.
YESPC software provides diagnostic and trending analysis of the manufacturing process. By providing real-time monitoring and reporting of SMT production processes, management can immediately react to critical process events. Fully compatible with every YESTech AOI and YTX-5000 combined x-ray/vision system.
Both the system and software were on display this week during Nepcon East.
Elektrobit will showcase the Test Handler J402-11 with embedded Digitaltest LAMBDA Tester at the upcoming SMT/Hybrid/Packaging exhibition in Nürnberg, Germany.
The handler construction is based on the J402-07 handler and it is fully compatible with Digitaltest Lambda and MTS300 testers.
Reportedly saves test cycle time, increases test coverage and quality, and uses minimal floor space. Offers high efficiency per cost and a user-friendly, robust construction with excellent usability, ergonomics, and quick and easy fixture changeover. The jointly developed handler features:
• Shortened test cycle time • Increased test coverage and quality • Minimized footprint • Press force 3000 N (4500 N) • Robust construction • Easy and quick fixture change.
