The Horizon 01i screen printer now has a reported accuracy of 2.0 Cpk @ +/-25 µm, and can output DPMO statistics. The Horizon 03i now comes with Cyclone understencil cleaning, said to reduce changeover times and paper volume. And the Horizon platform range now comes with HawkEye post-print verification, said to verify 100% of boards in line beat rates (acquisition speeds: 750 to 1700 sq. mm per sec.).
Lites Wipes are a generic version of Kimberly Clark’s Kimwipes. Reportedly are exactly the same but at a lower cost. Are made with absorbent low linting cellulose. Two sizes are available: 4.5" x 8.3" in 300/box quantities; 15" x 16.6" in 140/box quantities. Push-up dispensers are also available.
V400 software reportedly reduces programming time 40%. Creates customer libraries automatically, permitting users to deploy the same library in different process stages from first-off inspection until post-reflow or post-wave soldering. Includes a calculation algorithm that operates with synthetic imaging algorithms; facilitates the deployment of rule-based algorithms. Is said to be ideal for high-volume production. Features an improved color-modeling algorithm.
