The 1710 Universal Engineering Programmer combines ultra-fast programming technology, FX4 socket modules and support for more than 23,000 devices, including devices down to 1.5 V, including EPROM, EEPROM, Flash EPROM, Microcontrollers, PLD, CPLD, FPGA and antifuse FPGAs. Can program devices with densities up to 4 Gbits, incorporates high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus for communications. FX4 socket modules program up to four devices simultaneously on one programming site, making it ideal for low-volume production environments. The modules include three separate LEDs per socket. Can use more than 2,000 standard manual and automated socket modules. Supports all device packages, including DIP, SDIP, PLCC, TSOP, SSOP, PCMCIA, SOIC, LCC, QFP, PQFP, PGA, SIMM, CSP, BGA, microBGA, TQFP and TSSOP. Also guards against passing blank parts.

SP880avi 29" large-area inline printer uses a patented “look down, look down” approach to vision alignment. Twin roving cameras mounted on independent X/Y gantries ensure accurate, repeatable alignment.
Facilitates a unique “paste on stencil” inspection feature. Users can determine if there is adequate paste on the stencil before running the print cycle.
“Selective Auto-Paste Dispense” technology is fully programmable. The twin camera vision system analyzes the stencil to see where paste is required, and the dispenser deposits accordingly.
The user interface runs under a menu-driven, Windows XP application and is simple to operate. The software incorporates self-diagnostic capabilities, including production logging and automatic fault report generation. Data may be accessed remotely via a PC modem connection for on-the-fly trouble shooting.
Automatic stencil loading enables the operator to easily switch between 23 to 29" stencil frames at the touch of a button. Options include 2-D inspection, SPC and a vacuum assisted wet/dry under screen cleaner.
Flexys-10 intelligent placement system is for low- to medium-volume

Tyco will highlight a line of reel-to-reel RFID systems. Feature throughput to 9,000 cph, a 20" wide Web process capability and 12 mm placement repeatability at ± 3 Sigma.
Offers either passive or active designs, direct die pick from wafers to 0.008" and positive displacement dispense technology. Modular construction allows for future capacity expansion. Can place ancillary components such as batteries, capable of tape-and-reel die placement.
Uses a dispenser module with patented positive displacement pump technology, a placement system that has 12 mm repeatability and complete closed loop process control on the thermal compression station. The programmability provides control of the process. Cure station provides pressure control of each thermode, and real-time feedback provides statistical process control. Each module reports to the master controller during operation and this same master controller collects key process inputs, monitors system status, advances the web and alerts the operator to process issues. Is fully automatic.
Can handle either a straight die application or one that may change over time to use various methods of component presentation. Provides rapid changeover to facilitate using the system for prototype applications.
Micro-Line Digital Dispensing Head consists of a high-speed liquid metering valve and a precision nozzle.
Applies conformal coatings in precise lines or dots down to 1 mm with the liquid flow rate set electronically with the Prism software. The coating is applied at a distance from 5 to 15 mm between the nozzle tip and the substrate. The technology is said to be more effective than conventional needle dispensing.
