SMP300 screen printer has a three-stage conveyor to eliminate additional buffer units. Features a patented clamping process to ensure the board is in the proper plane. Uses two CCD cameras to view and teach fiducials for aligning the board to the stencil within ±0.025 mm. Has a closed-loop, pneumatically controlled print head, and comes with 2-D post print inspection and automatic wet or dry stencil cleaning. Prints for 01005 pads.
The Niton XL3 Series third-generation handheld XRF analyzer is said to provide the fastest solder alloy grade identification and laboratory-quality composition analysis of plastics and polymers. Typical time for routine solder screening measurements is said to be less than 5 sec. Features a 50 kV, 2W x-ray tube. Comes in a range of configurations with an assortment of optional features and accessories; quick screening to simultaneous measurement of up to 25 elements in a sample. Offers component testing; solder analysis; populated PCBs and finished goods; hi-reliability screening.
The M3i provides materials management and printing capabilities. Is comprised of materials management cartridges, a ProFlow enclosed printer head, and Europa printing platform. Offers programmable ratio mix control and imaging of a variety of materials. Materials are preloaded into climate-controlled cartridges and stored at low temperature, then heated within the print head when elevated materials temperatures or melting processes are required. Is said to be completely scalable and can be used for underfill, encapsulation, solar cell and fuel cell imaging. Said to be fully automated and programmable; throughput is improved; operator intervention errors are eliminated; waste is reduced.
